Conrad Bora Bora Nui is a luxury resort, spa, dining destination and event venue at Bora Bora, BP 502, Bora Bora 98730, French Polynesia, on the sheltered southwestern side of Motu To’opua. Formerly the Hilton Bora Bora Nui Resort & Spa, the property reopened under Hilton’s Conrad luxury brand in 2017. Travelers come for lagoon-facing overwater villas, a white-sand beach framed by volcanic slopes, polished French Polynesian dining and a full-service hilltop spa, with Bora Bora’s main island and Mount Otemanu across the water.
What to Expect at Conrad Bora Bora Nui
The resort is arranged around a private cove rather than Vaitape’s busier waterfront. Its defining architecture is the network of timber overwater walkways leading to villas above the lagoon, alongside beach and garden accommodations and elevated hillside residences. The overwater setting is designed around direct lagoon views; the larger overwater villas add private pools. Onshore, the main infinity pool looks toward the lagoon, while the beach provides the launch point for non-motorized water activities and snorkeling-oriented time on the water.
Signature experiences center on the water, Polynesian wellness and dining. Hina Spa occupies a high point above the resort and pairs treatment rooms with expansive views; its setting is a meaningful part of the appointment, not simply an indoor hotel spa. For meals, Iriatai is the resort’s fine-dining restaurant, Banyan focuses on Chinese cuisine, Tamure offers casual beachside service, and Upa Upa Lounge Bar is known for its overwater perch. The resort also hosts weddings and private events, making its lagoon terraces and beaches part of the experience rather than separate conference facilities.
- Overwater villas: Timber-decked accommodations above the lagoon, with select categories offering private pools.
- Hina Spa: A hilltop wellness space with lagoon views and Polynesian-inspired treatments.
- Iriatai: The resort’s refined dinner venue for French-influenced cuisine in an elevated setting.
- Infinity pool and swim-up service: A central pool area for long, unhurried lagoon-view afternoons.
- Water-based days: Beach access, snorkeling conditions and non-motorized activities shape the daytime rhythm.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Book accommodation and airport boat transfers before finalizing inter-island flights: Bora Bora Airport is on Motu Mute, and the final approach to the resort is by water. There is no public transit route to the property and no practical self-drive parking option. Arrive early in the day when possible to maximize the beach and lagoon after check-in, and reserve Iriatai, Hina Spa and any special-occasion dinner in advance, particularly for sunset seating. Guests arriving from Vaitape should coordinate the boat schedule with the concierge rather than attempting an independent crossing.
The resort’s boardwalks and common areas make the main waterfront facilities more manageable than undeveloped motus, but villa access can involve long walkways, changes in level, sand and sloping hillside paths. Request an accessible room and confirm transfer assistance, route details and bathroom requirements directly with the resort before booking. Within a 5-to-15-minute walk on property, pair time at the infinity pool and beach with a treatment at Hina Spa, sunset drinks at Upa Upa Lounge Bar, or dinner at Iriatai, Banyan or Tamure; these are the closest meaningful dining and leisure stops because the resort occupies its own motu.
Frequently Asked Questions

Is Conrad Bora Bora Nui suitable for families and wheelchair users?
Families can use the beach, pool and water activities, though supervision is important around open lagoon edges and overwater decks. Guests using wheelchairs should request an accessible room and verify transfer support, boardwalk distances and slope conditions in advance.
