PB hotel design editorial

Strung across a private motu in Bora Bora's inner lagoon like a necklace of thatched roofs seen from above, the arrangement of overwater bungalows that defines The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort makes the property's design ambition immediately legible from the air: this is a resort built to dissolve the boundary between shelter and sea. Opened in 2006 across 44 acres of islet, the property deploys 90 villas — the majority suspended directly over the lagoon on timber piles — with Mount Otemanu's volcanic silhouette framing every northern view. The architecture draws from traditional Polynesian fale construction, steep pandanus-thatched roofs pitched high enough to trap the trade-wind breeze, dark tropical hardwood cladding the walls of each bungalow in horizontal planks that deepen in tone toward the water. Inside, the overwater villas carry a palette calibrated to the lagoon itself — teal upholstered bench ends, tropical-print cushions in coral and green, white linen against dark hardwood floors — while canopy-draped ceilings reference the open-air sleeping structures of Polynesian tradition without tipping into pastiche. The open-sided reception pavilion, its structural columns carved with geometric Marquesan motifs and furnished with sculptural rattan pod chairs, gives the public areas a considered anthropological grounding. A lagoon-facing swimming pool finished in turquoise glass mosaic tile winds through a planting of fan palms and tropical species, its organic geometry echoing the reef formations visible just beyond the shoreline.

"Such a beautiful resort . Seamless arrival and departure. You are picked up by speedboat from the airport and taken to the resort . From the moment you arrive you are greeted warmly . We were upgraded to a huge overwater bungalow. The entire resort is stunning . The staff is incredible. It never feels even a bit crowded although it was nearly full . We loved our stay . There is a cat named Regis that is sort of the mascot ! He hangs around the restaurant asking for food . We loved him !! If someone objects - the staff will put him away .. we wanted more Regis ! The resort is large and there is a lagoon area with lots of fish to snorkel in . Can't wait to return"

"I don’t usually write reviews, but this resort and its staff deserve one. Our stay in Bora Bora was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime. Unfortunately, while we were there, we got the call that my mother had been rushed to the hospital back in the U.S. We were devastated and needed to get home as quickly as possible. The way the staff responded is something I’ll never forget. The General Manager and the entire team were incredibly kind, compassionate, and understanding. They helped us figure out our travel plans and did everything they could to make a very difficult situation a little less overwhelming. At a time when we were scared and emotionally exhausted, their genuine care meant more than they probably realize. Before everything happened, we had already been blown away by the resort itself. It’s absolutely beautiful, and the service is second to none. Every interaction felt personal, and the staff truly goes out of their way to make your stay special. We didn’t get to finish the vacation we had been looking forward to for so long, but we left with so much gratitude for everyone there. We fully intend to come back one day to finish what we started. Thank you to everyone who showed us such incredible kindness when we needed it most. We’ll never forget it."

"The property is wonderful. The villas were spacious and beautiful. The views were magnificent. The resort is large, so prepare to either do some walking, use the bikes they provide, or call for a ride (they come pick you up on a golf cart). The concierge is very on top of things and, based on my interests, even suggested an activity I didn't know about but truly appreciated attending, and worked hard to secure a guide for a hike I was looking forward to doing but could find no luck securing on my own. They also knew my schedule, and cleared some conflicts I didn't even know I had, saving me a lot of hassle. The staff in general is very attentive, and friendly. You really feel they try their hardest to make your stay as pleasant as possible."

"When we started doing our research on where to stay in Bora Bora for our honeymoon, we were overwhelmed by the options but landed on the St. Regis through our travel agent Pacific For Less. We were not led astray. We stayed for 5 days and had an incredible experience. The resort property itself is gorgeous. Our bungalow was spacious and had direct access into the lagoon where we could swim in the day and watch fish, rays and sharks swim by at night. The resort is quite big with a lot to do, but they provided free bikes for us to ride around the island and access everything quickly. All of the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and willing to help if we needed anything. Simply put, you get white glove service at the St. Regis and feel like you’re staying in the lap of luxury. Would highly recommend staying here and we hope to be back someday."

"One of the most beautiful stays of my life. The resort is exceptional. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful, luxurious, and relaxing. The rooms are huge, elegant, and very comfortable. The lagoon is absolutely breathtaking—you can see turtles and stingrays almost everywhere, making every walk or swim feel magical. The activities are amazing, the restaurants perfectly complement each other, and every meal was excellent. A special thank you to Charlotte, Hélène and our butler Jenna for their warm welcome and kindness throughout our stay. The entire team made this experience even more memorable."
