Dreamy Escapes: Discover the New Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa

If ever there were a destination that needs no introduction, it’s Bora Bora—the storied “Pearl of the Pacific,” where sapphire waters meet sugar-white sands and time slows to a gentle rhythm. But now, this island paradise has unveiled a new crown jewel. Welcome to the Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa, a serene haven of elevated elegance that marks the island’s first luxury resort opening since 2017.

Located beneath the towering silhouette of Mount Otemanu, the newly opened resort is a seamless blend of contemporary luxury and soulful Polynesian spirit. With 128 overwater bungalows, 14 family-friendly beach villas, and the largest swimming pool in Bora Bora, The Westin redefines barefoot luxury—where wellness meets wanderlust, and every moment feels beautifully intentional.

A Dream Realized

Fresh from a sweeping renovation and rebrand, The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa delivers on the fantasy that travelers have long associated with this tropical haven: overwater villas, turquoise horizons, and a deep connection to nature. Each bungalow is thoughtfully positioned for total privacy and panoramic views—whether of the lagoon, the beach, or Mount Otemanu itself—and many come with their own private plunge pools.

Inside, design is clean yet warm, drawing from traditional Polynesian architecture and natural textures like wood and stone. Large windows and open-air layouts blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, creating a sense of serene immersion. Westin’s signature touches—like the Heavenly® Bed, Sleep Well Lavender Balm, and a curated Sleep Well Menu—ensure your island nights are just as restorative as your days.

For the Wellness-First Traveler

True to the Westin name, wellness is at the heart of every experience here. The Heavenly Spa by Westin™ is more than a luxury—it's a sanctuary of stillness. Guests can unwind with the Tupuna Polynesian Ritual, a 90-minute journey that blends ancestral massage techniques with body scrubs made from Bora Bora sea salt, coconut shells, and noni oil. For deep relaxation, the Heavenly Spa Bora Bora Massage uses organic coconut oil and encourages positive meditation throughout.

Meanwhile, the WestinWORKOUT® Fitness Studio offers a full range of equipment and daily classes like yoga, Pilates, and even traditional Tahitian dance. Prefer to exercise under the open sky? The resort’s Strava-designed running routes let you explore paradise at your own pace.

Taste of the Tropics

Dining at the Westin Bora Bora is a curated cultural journey, with six distinct venues offering everything from barefoot bites to fine-dining artistry. At Tipanier, enjoy elevated French Polynesian bistro fare under the blooms of its namesake flower. Savor fresh-grilled tuna or the Chef’s coconut-laced reinterpretation of Chicken Fafa.

At Maere, the signature restaurant, the menu evolves constantly, spotlighting seasonal ingredients with refined flair—think lacquered mahi mahi with banana chutney or pineapple ribbon with basil granita. For lunch by the sea, Varavara plates up fresh crudo, chili-glazed ribs, and a dose of salty air. Sip frozen drinks at Honu Tiki, swim up to cocktails at Te Ava, or toast to another stunning sunset with a craft cocktail and live music at ‘O’a Bar, overlooking Mount Otemanu.

Adventure, Anchored in Culture

Whether you're floating through the private lagoon, paddling across the sea on a stand-up board, or learning to weave a Tahitian flower crown, experiences here are as enriching as they are relaxing. Weekly Polynesian evenings bring dance, cuisine, and local storytelling to life, while water-based adventures like snorkeling, diving, and deep-sea fishing allow guests to explore the ocean’s magic firsthand.

For families, couples, or solo travelers alike, the Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa is thoughtfully designed for every type of traveler, blending curated activities with space to simply be.

A Deeper Purpose: Eco Center Bora Bora

Perhaps the most meaningful part of your stay lies in the resort’s Eco Center Bora Bora, a longstanding initiative focused on marine life conservation, particularly sea turtles. Guests can engage in hands-on experiences—from feeding and caring for turtles to assisting with public education sessions. It’s a rare and intimate way to connect with the island and contribute to its preservation.

Paradise, Perfected

As the newest and most expansive resort to grace Bora Bora in nearly a decade, the Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa sets a new standard in mindful luxury. Here, relaxation is elevated by intention, beauty is rooted in sustainability, and every sunrise feels like a promise kept.

Because in a place as breathtaking as Bora Bora, it’s only fitting that your stay should be just as unforgettable.
