A Little Slice of Paradise at Four Seasons Bora Bora

For many years, I’d had a bucket list dream of staying with my husband in an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora.

Since our cruise itinerary included an overnight stop in Bora Bora, we arranged a one-night stay at the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora.

The resort has 108 thatched-roof bungalows built on stilts over the water – we were finally going to fulfill my dream!

A night in an overwater bungalow

After checking in, we savored a seafood feast at the resort’s toes-in-the-sand Faré Hoa Beach Bar & Grill that evening, then breakfast the next morning.

Just enough time was left to fit in snorkeling in the Ruahatu Lagoon Sanctuary, where exotic unicorn fish and Picasso trumpetfish surrounded us, followed by a quick swim off our bungalow.

We ended our overnight at the Four Seasons Bora Bora with a light lunch—Tahiti’s signature dish, poisson cru, served in a coconut shell.

Then we reluctantly boarded the resort’s private launch, which returned us to Bora Bora’s pier to catch a tender back to our cruise ship.

Being able to drink in the colors and fill my senses with French Polynesia’s scenes helped me get through the Indiana winter following our cruise.
