Our Bora Bora Honeymoon: A Dream Come True at the Four Seasons (Plus Tips for Yours!)
If you're anything like we were just a few months ago – starry-eyed newlyweds searching for the perfect honeymoon destination – then you absolutely need to hear about our experience at the Four Seasons Bora Bora. Forget everything you think you know about romantic getaways, because this place redefines the meaning of "paradise." We just returned from a 7-night stay in one of their luxurious overwater bungalows, and honestly, I’m already trying to figure out how we can go back!
From the moment we stepped off the boat onto the pristine white sand, we were enveloped in a world of unparalleled beauty and impeccable service. This isn't just a vacation; it's an experience. I'm writing this Four Seasons Bora Bora review specifically for couples seeking that unforgettable romantic getaway, so grab a cup of coffee (or maybe a glass of champagne – you deserve it!), and let me tell you all about it.
Our Overwater Bungalow: Luxury Beyond Imagination
Okay, let's be real – the luxury overwater bungalows are the main draw, and they absolutely lived up to the hype. Our bungalow was spacious and beautifully designed with traditional Polynesian touches. Picture this: a king-sized bed draped in soft linens, a separate living area with plush seating, and a huge bathroom with a soaking tub overlooking the turquoise lagoon.
But the real magic happened outside. We had a private plunge pool on our deck, where we spent countless hours soaking up the sun and enjoying the breathtaking views. Seriously, the color of that water is unreal – every shade of blue and turquoise imaginable. And the best part? A glass floor viewing panel in the living room! We could watch colorful fish swim beneath us, day and night. It was mesmerizing.
Direct lagoon access from our private deck made it incredibly easy to take a quick dip whenever we felt like it. The privacy was also exceptional; we felt completely secluded and undisturbed throughout our stay. The layout of the bungalows ensures that you feel like you are on your own private island. Every detail was carefully considered, from the complimentary sunscreen and beach towels to the daily fruit platter and fresh flowers. If you're looking for the ultimate in privacy and luxury for your Bora Bora honeymoon, this is it.
Dining: A Culinary Journey for Two
The dining experiences at the Four Seasons Bora Bora were simply outstanding. We made sure to try several restaurants, and each one offered something unique and delicious.
Arii Moana: This was our go-to for romantic dinners. The ambiance is incredible – think candlelit tables right on the beach, the sound of waves gently lapping against the shore, and the scent of Tiare flowers in the air. We especially loved the fresh poisson cru, a traditional Polynesian dish made with raw tuna, coconut milk, and vegetables. It was so fresh and flavorful! The service was impeccable; our waiter even surprised us with a special dessert to celebrate our honeymoon. This is a must-do for romantic dining experiences at Four Seasons Bora Bora.
Tere Nui: Perfect for a more casual setting, Tere Nui offered a fantastic breakfast buffet with everything you could imagine – from fresh pastries and tropical fruits to made-to-order omelets. We also enjoyed their lunch menu, which featured a variety of salads, sandwiches, and pizzas.
The resort also offers private dining experiences, which we almost booked! Imagine a private dinner on the beach, complete with your own personal chef and butler. Next time, for sure!
Activities: Relaxation and Adventure in Paradise
While lounging by the pool and soaking up the sun was definitely a priority, we also wanted to experience some of the activities that Bora Bora has to offer.
Couples Massage at the Spa: This was pure bliss. The spa is located in a secluded part of the resort, surrounded by lush greenery. We opted for the Polynesian massage, which used traditional techniques and oils to relax and rejuvenate our bodies. It was the perfect way to unwind after a long day of traveling.
Private Snorkeling Excursion: This was one of the highlights of our trip. We chartered a private boat and our guide took us to some of the best snorkeling spots in the lagoon. We saw colorful coral, schools of tropical fish, and even a few blacktip reef sharks (don't worry, they're harmless!). Having a private tour allowed us to go at our own pace and explore the lagoon without the crowds. Booking a private snorkeling excursion Four Seasons Bora Bora is worth every penny.
There are also plenty of other activities to choose from, including jet skiing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and even shark and ray feeding.
The Romantic Atmosphere: Honeymoon Perfection
What truly sets the Four Seasons Bora Bora apart is its overall romantic atmosphere. Every detail is designed to create an unforgettable experience for couples. The secluded beaches, the candlelit dinners, the stunning sunsets over Mount Otemanu – it's all just magical.
One evening, we returned to our bungalow to find that the staff had decorated our bed with flowers and left us a bottle of champagne. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made us feel incredibly special. This is just one example of the exceptional service we received throughout our stay. They truly go above and beyond to make your Bora Bora honeymoon unforgettable. The staff knew our names, anticipated our needs, and always greeted us with a warm smile.
Honestly, there's just something about being surrounded by such natural beauty that makes you feel more connected to each other. We spent hours simply talking, laughing, and enjoying each other's company. It was the perfect way to start our married life together. This place is a five-star resort but is also a place you can relax and forget about all your problems.
