The Sofitel Bora Bora Marara Beach Resort is a statement property, ideally situated on the sun-kissed shores of Bora Bora's main island, overlooking one of the world's most stunning crystal-clear lagoons. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with the luxurious charm of Polynesian design harmoniously blended with contemporary elegance. The vibrant lobby, adorned with thoughtfully curated local artwork, exudes a warm welcome, setting the stage for an unforgettable stay. Each of the 55 bungalows features spacious decks with sun loungers, perfect for soaking up the sun, while indoor comforts include premium bedding, flat-screen televisions, and refreshing rain showers. This upscale property, celebrated for its refined, contemporary opulence, encapsulates the spirit of relaxation; from the infinity pool that invites languid swims to the poolside bar where expertly crafted cocktails await at sunset.

Explore the Local Area

Located just a short 10 to 15 minutes from the vibrant local dining scene, guests can venture to some of Bora Bora's best eateries, which often boast better prices and exquisite flavors. Stroll along Matira Beach, renowned for its captivating beauty, or explore nearby sites such as the Bora Bora Turtle Sanctuary and Museum, just 3.5 km away. Access to local transport is feasible; however, taxis must be arranged for the journey from the city to the resort. For those seeking adventure, options abound - from scuba diving to parasailing, the surrounding aquatic playground beckons the intrepid.

Room Information

The Sofitel Bora Bora Marara Beach Resort boasts a total of 55 elegantly appointed bungalows, each designed with a seamless blend of indoor comfort and outdoor allure. Sizes range from 480 sq ft in standard accommodations to the expansive overwater bungalows, each offering unique access to the pristine lagoon. Notable amenities include complimentary WiFi, air conditioning, minibars stocked with a selection of beverages, and the added comfort of safety features, ensuring peace of mind for all guests.

Room Upgrades

For an elevated experience, consider the overwater bungalows, spanning 700 sq ft, where outdoor decks offer direct lagoon access; these intimate retreats are available for couples-ideal for honeymoons or anniversaries. Upgrade options include larger bungalows with enhanced views and additional amenities, which provide ample space for luxurious relaxation; however, do note that guests under 12 cannot be accommodated in these overwater settings. Each bungalow reflects a commitment to refined living and connection to Bora Bora's stunning natural surroundings.

“In Bora Bora's luxury market, this resort achieves a sweet spot, providing direct lagoon access from its bungalows at a more accessible price. The private island and proximity to local life create a balanced stay. I think that dining is best enjoyed both on-site and at nearby restaurants for better value.”

“You never know, a mango might just fall into your hand as you walk along if you slow down and live on island time.”
