Sofitel Motu Bora Bora

Sofitel Motu Bora Bora

The Hotel
The Sofitel Motu, the new address in Bora Bora, is an executive 5 star resort spreading the discreet charm of its 31 luxurious bungalows on an idyllic private motu (islet). It is conveniently located just a few minutes by boat from the main island.

Being at the other end of the world and enjoying the best services is now a dream that can be fulfilled, thanks to the Sofitel Motu (which opened its doors in August 1999) as an incomparable praise to nature. Blending perfectly with the environment, the project took full advantage of its natural setting including the best of traditional architecture.

The Rooms

3 Deluxe lagoon front bungalows: On the hillside with lagoon views and an extravagant Polynesian décor.

7 Deluxe hillside lagoon view bungalows: On the hillside with lagoon views and one king size bed.

14 Deluxe overwater bungalows: Has one double or two single beds and set on stilts over the water with covered patio and view of lagoon and main island.

6 Deluxe overwater horizon bungalows: Located at the end of the pontoon, with views over the lagoon to the beach and to Bora Bora.

1 Deluxe beach villa: The 915 sq ft villa has a wonderful view of the lagoon that also features a Jacuzzi.

The road to the 31 pandanus-roofed "fares" is lined with hand picked volcanic stones. The interior structures of the "fare" are made of "kohu" (a dark and precious exotic wood). Exclusively designed for the resort, the furniture inspired from the 40's creates a perfect atmosphere of warmth and intimacy. The fare's shaded terraces directly overlook the lagoon, the enclosed sea, and its calm crystal clear waters with its different nuances of blue and turquoise.

As for the overwater bungalows, they all include a private sundeck and a wooden bench, providing a unique prestige refuge for swimmers.

The central building, a circular "fare" covered with a pointed pandanus roof, is an open-air place in which each room is separated by "tapa" cloths (traditional worked and beaten wood).

The rear of the hotel houses breakfast tables elegantly covered with linen, a cozy area in which to play chess. At dawn it offers a magical candlelit atmosphere.

Light lunches which include grilled fish or meat and exotic salads are served down at the beach.

The motu is the pearl of the coral reef, contrasting the deep black of the volcanic rock formation with the immaculate white of the coconut palms-covered beach. All day-long it offers the possibility of an unforgettable dream walk.

The 180 degree panoramic outlook displays a stunning view of Mount Otemanu, the sacred mountain of Bora Bora. Perched atop the motu's green grassy hillside, one can soak up the crystal clear lagoon and coral reef gleaming under the sun.

Nature is omnipresent but the Sofitel Motu also offers the most modern
services of a 5 star resort: Cable-TV in the bungalows, room service for breakfast
and dinner, air conditioning and personal attention to each guest's needs.
From the fresh coconut welcome , to the departure day marked by a farewell present, the credo of the entire team is to make this hedonistic experience unforgettable.

Activities

Only 3000 ft. by speed-boat from the Sofitel Marara and from the main island of Bora-Bora, the Sofitel Motu represents the perfect oasis of serenity including "à la carte" escapism.
