Located on the northern tip of Motu Piti Aau, this is the best family resort in French Polynesia. Its Melanesian architecture is reminiscent of its sister property on Tahiti (Le Meridien Tahiti). The architects also created a seawater-fed, lakelike lagoon, in which you can swim with endangered sea turtles, bred there as part of the resort's award-winning preservation program. Children love it. Of the 100 identical guest units, 85 are built overwater. Only a few of these have views of Mount Otemanu's skinny side. Standing over waist-deep water, they are notable for their huge glass floors, which make it seem as if you're walking on air (maids cover the glass with carpets at evening turndown). All units here are smaller than those at Bora Bora's other resorts, however, and you could stumble over too much furniture for the space available. Ten otherwise identical "beach" bungalows actually sit beside the man-made lagoon, but most of them have fine views of Bora Bora. Since the shallow man-made lagoon is safe for swimming, they are excellent for families with small children. The broad, brilliantly white main beach here has its own bar. The hotel's launch shuttles to Anau village. Plans were in store to built a full-service spa on its one islet.
