This Bora Bora Resort With 128 Overwater Bungalows Was Just Named One of the Best New Hotels of the Year

"As I sat in my plunge pool on a clear Sunday afternoon, I took a moment to listen to the soothing sound of gentle waves lapping against the stilts of my overwater bungalow."

"The hotel was just named to Travel + Leisure's 2025 It List. My mom and I arrived here after nearly 24 hours of travel from the East Coast."

"The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa offers a completely new experience. There are 142 bungalows, each with its own private terrace with direct access to either the lagoon or the crystal-blue waters."

"Guests can ride along the pathway on the hotel's blue and pink bikes at all hours of the day and night; the policy is 'leave a bike, take a bike,' which adds to the laid-back vibe of this resort."
