Overwater villas — FAQ

Is the resort on a private island?

Yes — Four Seasons Bora Bora is on its own private motu (islet) in the Bora Bora lagoon. You arrive by boat from the main island. No public access.

Are breakfast and transfers included?

Yes — all rates at Four Seasons Bora Bora include daily breakfast at Tere Nui restaurant and round-trip airport transfers. This is unusual for a resort at this level.

What is the difference between the two overwater categories?

The Overwater Bungalow Suites are classic — teak, Polynesian artwork, private terrace. The Specialty Overwater Bungalows add a private plunge pool directly above the lagoon, plus more deck space. The plunge pool category is the honeymoon choice.

Can you see Mount Otemanu from the bungalow?

Yes — Mount Otemanu is the iconic volcanic peak of Bora Bora. It's visible from the private terraces of the overwater bungalows across the lagoon — one of the most photographed views in French Polynesia.
