With reefs, all sorts of green blue colored waters and mountains that jut out or crystal waters leaving only a white sand wake, Tahiti like nearby Bora Bora is a honeymooners paradise. It's only seven hours flight from Los Angeles or a few hours from nearby Australia. Luxury has improved a little since Captain Cook cruised by and there a few classic properties that will look after you in style.


Best Time to Go to Tahiti

The official tourism websites will tell you that Tahiti receives the most sunshine of any international destination. The high season is also the dry season and July and August are particularly busy.  Winter Is a great time to go but if you don't mind a little rain and humidity the Tahitian summer is als reasonable.  December and January will get about 300mm or 12 inches of rain.

Many holidays are similar to what you would find on the French calendar.

The Top Bora Bora Resorts

As the sun begins to set over the crystal-clear waters of the Pacific Ocean, I find myself in awe of the natural beauty that surrounds me. The warm sand between my toes and the gentle breeze that brushes past my face create a sense of tranquility and peace that I've never felt before. This is Tahiti, and it's truly paradise on earth.

I'm staying at the luxurious St. Regis Bora Bora Resort, which is located on a private island and boasts stunning views of the ocean and the majestic Mount Otemanu. The resort's overwater bungalows are spacious, modern, and exquisitely decorated with local Polynesian art and culture. The rooms are equipped with every imaginable amenity, including a private pool, a sun deck, and a glass floor panel that provides a glimpse of the underwater world below.

During the day, I take advantage of the resort's many activities, which include snorkeling, scuba diving, paddleboarding, and kayaking. The waters around the island are teeming with colorful fish, sea turtles, and even sharks, and the coral reefs are breathtakingly beautiful. In the evenings, I indulge in gourmet cuisine at the resort's restaurants, which offer everything from traditional Polynesian dishes to international cuisine.

If you're looking for a truly luxurious experience, the St. Regis Bora Bora Resort is the perfect destination. The resort's attention to detail and commitment to excellence make it one of the best places to stay in Tahiti.

Product Review:

When it comes to luxury resorts in Tahiti, there are many options to choose from, but some stand out above the rest. After conducting extensive research and staying at several resorts in the area, I can confidently recommend the following two resorts:

  1. The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort: This resort is the epitome of luxury, with stunning overwater bungalows, excellent dining options, and a wide range of activities to choose from. The resort's attention to detail is unparalleled, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. The only drawback is that it's quite expensive, but if you're looking for the best of the best, it's worth the investment.

Score: 9/10

  1. The Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora: This resort is another excellent option for travelers seeking luxury and relaxation. The overwater bungalows are spacious and well-appointed, and the resort's location on a private lagoon provides a sense of seclusion and tranquility. The resort also features a fantastic spa, excellent dining options, and a variety of activities to choose from.

Score: 8/10

For travelers who are looking for something different, I recommend the Sofitel Moorea Ia Ora Beach Resort. This resort is located on the island of Moorea, which is a short ferry ride from Tahiti. The resort offers beautiful views of the ocean and the island's lush mountains, and the rooms are spacious and well-equipped. The resort also features excellent dining options, a beautiful beach, and a wide range of activities to choose from.

There are a few flaws and some have noted that the rooms are beginning to look dated. Travel + Leisure have noted it as one of the best resorts in the South Pacific a few years back now.
