The Westin Bora Bora sits on the tip of Motu Tapu — a small island in the Bora Bora lagoon. The overwater bungalows extend directly above the turquoise water with ladder access to some of the clearest snorkeling in the lagoon. Westin's signature Heavenly Bed and the AWAY Spa complete the experience.
The Westin Bora Bora combines reliable luxury standards with a genuine overwater location on a private motu. The lagoon clarity for snorkeling is frequently highlighted by guests.
