Bora Bora Honeymoon Packages
Few will argue that a Bora Bora honeymoon will be nothing other than pure unadulterated bliss and of course total relaxation. If you are looking for a honeymoon package on a Paradise Island then Bora Bora is sure to tick many boxes, and therefore should be added to your shortlist of potential honeymoon destinations.
With this in mind let’s take a closer look at what a Bora Bora honeymoon package has to offer.
What You Need to Know
French Polynesia, which the island of Bora Bora is a part of, consists of 35 islands (83 atolls), all of which are dotted over a massive distance of 4.5 million square kilometers, yet the total land area of these southeastern pacific islands is only 3800 square kilometers.
Bora Bora, which is one of French Polynesia most visited islands by honeymooners has a population of just 4500, and surprisingly is only 280km from the Paradise Island of Tahiti, and slightly less distance to the island of Papeete.
Bora Bora is famous for its breathtakingly beautiful lagoon, barrier reef, white sandy beaches and of course it’s crystal clear, emerald green waters. It is a short flight from Tahiti and the island of Moorea. Often you will find that all 3 islands, due to their close proximity are included in a Bora Bora multi-stop honeymoon package.
Bora Bora also lays fame to having the remnants of an extinct volcano at its heart. The volcano appears in the form of two huge basalt peaks, known as Mount Otemanu and Mount Pahia that majestically pierce the skyline, and at 727 meters high this natural wonder is a breathtaking site to behold.
Bora Bora Airport, commonly known as Motu Mute Airport is situated on the islet of Motu Mute as is where you will land before arriving at your chosen Bora Bora honeymoon resort. Air Tahiti are currently offering a free boat transfer (Bora Bora Navette) to and from Vaitape dock which takes approximately 15 minutes. To be fair, most Bora Bora honeymoon packages will include this, but it’s always best to check the small print with your travel operator, just to be sure.
Bora Bora’s Climate
Bora Bora’s wet season runs from April right through to November and with temperatures averaging 30 Degrees Celsius during this period the humidity levels can be unbearably high. Storms are therefore frequent and very unpredictable.
If your wedding is planned during these months, yes, the cost of your Bora Bora honeymoon will be cheaper, but the weather will likely play its part too, so bear this in mind.
Typically, newlyweds who honeymoon in Bora Bora will do so during the dry season which runs from May through to October. The average temperature during these times will be slightly lower, but rain will seldom fall.
Bora Bora Honeymoon Resorts
Bora Bora honeymoon resorts have been pampering newlyweds for the past four decades and the amenities and luxury accommodation offered in a Borra Borra honeymoon package has been tailored to perfection over the past 40 odd years.
From dawn-to-dusk each of the 18 Bora Bora honeymoon resorts have been carefully crafted with relaxation and total luxury in mind. You will be able to choose from luxurious overwater (built on stilts) bungalows and thatched roof apartments for a tropical island honeymoon vacation like no other.
St Regis Bora Bora
One of the most popular honeymoon resorts in Bora Bora is St. Regis. Located on Motu Ome’e, just off Bora Bora Island, lies this secluded and private honeymoon resort, and is home to one hundred luxury villas that either look out over the turquoise lagoon or face the beauty of the Pacific Ocean.
A real bonus is that all of the villas feature an outdoor shower, terrace area and the highly rated St. Regis butler service. This makes the St. Regis Bora Bora resort a top pick among honeymooners for obvious reasons.
St. Regis Bora Bora also features two swimming pools; an Oasis and Lagoon pool. The Lagoon pool also boasts a handy swim-up bar and restaurant. The luxury resort also includes its very own sushi restaurant, spa, fishing and of course plenty of water sports, including snorkeling and scuba diving. There are also plenty of boutiques and gift shops to peruse at your leisure.
Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort
Located on the Tevairoa Motu, a stones throw across the logon, is one of the most luxurious hotels in Bora Bora. The Bora Bora Peal Beach resort is expensive, and you should expect to pay in access of $500 per night for a garden-view bungalow.
However, it is possible to find some last minute deals to Bora Bora staying at the Pearl Beach resort at a reduced rate. So if you fancy The Pearl Beach resort, be sure to look online for any last minute all inclusive honeymoon package before pulling out your credit card.
Le Meridien Bora Bora
Another popular Bora Bora honeymoon resort is Le Meridien. Le Meridien Bora Bora houses 99 bungalows all of which are equiped with air-conditioning as standard. If you can, try to book a bungalow that is built directly over the lagoon, as these (there are 82 of them) have glass floors that provide access to the stunning and colorful marine life below. Direct access to either the lagoon or beach is also provided by way of furnished decks.
Le Meridien Bora Bora also features an abundance of complimentary water sports that include, snorkeling, windsurfing kayaking and pirogues (a flat bottomed boat). There is also the option, for a small surcharge, to go jet skiing, waterskiing and of course scuba diving. So whenever you are feeling a little more energetic there are plenty of activities to keep you occupied.
