Conrad Bora Bora Nui
West of Bora Bora’s principal island on palm-fringed Motu Toopua, the Conrad Bora Bora Nui impresses with its 114 bungalows (84 of which float overwater), butler service, resort-style offerings, and vibe-heavy bars and restaurants. There’s not a bad view to be had on property, but for honeymooners looking to splurge, we recommend the Royal Villa for its ocean-facing bedroom and private infinity pool perfectly positioned for sunset. By day, snorkel around the overwater villas and discover a thriving, colorful underwater world. Grab a fruity cocktail from the swim-up bar at the main resort pool, and plant yourself in one of the many half-submerged pool seats to sip and ogle the Pacific Ocean. At night, enjoy the chic setting of the overwater lounge Upa Upa, followed by a sushi dinner. Or choose from Chinese, French, or Polynesian cuisine at one of the many on-site restaurants, all of which are excellent. $1656, Expedia (Starting Price). Get it now!
