The St. Regis Resort, located on Motu Ome’e, is spread over 44 acres, offering spectacular views of the main island of Bora Bora and its largest mountain - Mount Otemanu. The majority of the rooms are overwater villas; you can also choose a pool beach villa, which gives you your own plunge pool and direct beach access. My room was a beautiful deluxe overwater one-bedroom villa with many floor-to-ceiling windows and a great view of the main island. These 1550 square foot villas are said to be the largest in the South Pacific. Each villa has a separate bedroom, and a living room with a viewing window in the floor. The large bathrooms have a separate tub and shower; other nice features include a viewing window in the floor and middle vanity mirrors which open to the bedroom allowing a view of the deck and water. I especially enjoyed the open shower with a large sliding window enclosed by a privacy fence giving you the feeling of being outdoors. Both the bedroom and living room open up to a large private deck with a viewing window in the floor, along with a table under a covered gazebo and a lower platform leading into the water. Another nice feature was the fresh water shower on the platform to rinse off. The deep waters around the villas are a brilliant sparkling blue which makes you want to dive right in. There was no coral in the waters off the room - resulting in few fish swimming nearby.Not to be forgotten is the St. Regis Butler Service. All villas have a “butler” button on the phone; butlers are available to assist you with any request. This resort is spread out and a great way to get around it is to reserve a bicycle - I had a lot fun exploring the resort this way. You can also request a ride on a golf cart if you prefer. The resort has beautiful beaches and two pools. The central pool is near the main beach, where you will find the Aparmia Bar, which includes a swim-up bar. The adults-only Oasis pool, with a beautiful waterfall and Mount Otemanu in the backdrop, is located in the center of the overwater villas. The Spa Miri Miri is set on its own private island surrounded by the Lagoonarium and was the best place for snorkeling.

St. Regis has three restaurants. The Lagoon, which is suspended over the water, has wonderful views of Mount Otemanu and is known as one of the finest in all of French Polynesia, and is open for lunch and dinner. The Te-Pahu, a Mediterranean grill, features an open kitchen and beachside dining. Te-Pahu serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sushi Take Restaurant is Bora Bora’s first sushi restaurant and is set within a bamboo garden. If you’re looking for luxury, look no further than The St. Regis Resort. I highly recommend it.
