The best value for the full Bora Bora overwater experience: the only overwater bungalow resort on the main island, directly above the lagoon and steps from Matira Beach (the island's most beautiful public beach). Canoe breakfast delivery, romance packages, IHG points redeemable. Less isolated, more accessible, and significantly less expensive than the motu five-stars.
Why We Chose It
InterContinental Le Moana is the best value proposition in Bora Bora — the only overwater bungalow resort on the main island (not a motu), which makes it the most accessible and the least boat-dependent of any resort on the lagoon. Steps from Matira Beach — widely considered Bora Bora's most beautiful beach, a long white sand stretch on the southern tip of the main island. Overwater bungalows directly above the turquoise lagoon; canoe breakfast delivery (fresh fruits, pastries, coffee rowed to your villa deck); romance packages. IHG One Rewards points redeemable. The trade-off versus the motu resorts: less exclusivity and privacy; the main island is more visually present. The gain: genuine beach access, more independent exploration options, and significantly lower nightly rates.
