Sofitel Motu Bora Bora

Frommer's Review

More exclusive and private than its sister property, this intimate, adults-oriented resort sits on a rocky, one-hill motu and is a 3-minute boat ride from the Sofitel Bora Bora Resort. Guests here can take the free on-demand shuttle boat and use all of the other hotel's facilities. Sofitel Bora Bora Resort guests, on the other hand, are allowed out here only for lunch and dinner. Unlike any other Bora Bora resort, this one has a gorgeous, picture-postcard view of Mount Otemanu's tombstone face (most but not all units enjoy the view, so ask for one that does). Often-steep stone pathways lead up and downhill to the guest bungalows; for this reason, I don't recommend the Motu to travelers with disabilities or anyone who has trouble walking. Most of the luxurious if not overly spacious units are overwater. Those that are ashore extend on stilts from the side of the hill, rendering great lagoon views. The most expensive unit here is a large villa. Several small beaches are equipped with hammocks and easy chairs, and one has a shower mounted on a tree. Children under 12 can stay at the Sofitel Bora Bora Resort, but not here.
