Picolo recommends · Hotel in Bora Bora, French Polynesia
Conrad Bora Bora Nui
A resort that climbs a green hill on Motu To'opua, with villas over the water below and a spa at the top looking across the whole lagoon.
From the spa at the top of the hill, the lagoon spreads out below in every shade of blue. Conrad is on Motu To'opua, an islet in the south-west of the lagoon, and its villas are split between the hillside and stilts over the water.
Down at the bottom there is a real beach in a small, sheltered cove, which not every resort on Bora Bora can offer. Several pools give you a choice of where to spend the afternoon.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Conrad Bora Bora Nui
We chose Conrad for variety. Couples can pick an overwater villa, families can go for more room on the hillside, and everyone gets a proper sandy beach to share.
It faces away from Otemanu, so you swap the famous mountain view for the open sea and the sunset. If the peak is the picture you came for, one of the eastern motus will suit you better.

Open in MapsQuestions about Conrad Bora Bora Nui
Does Conrad Bora Bora Nui have a beach?
Yes. The resort has its own sandy beach in a small cove, which is calmer and more sheltered than many on the island.
Can you see Otemanu from Conrad Bora Bora Nui?
Not really. The resort faces west, so the view is out to the ocean and the sunset rather than to the mountain.
Is Conrad Bora Bora Nui good for families?
It is a good choice. The hillside villas give more space, and the beach cove and several pools keep children busy.
