Some names are instantly synonymous with paradise. This is particularly true of Bora Bora. The heart of the lagoon is home to the beautiful Hotel Le Meridien 5 star lying on the white sand and of course, on stilts, feet in the water. The construction of the hotel respects nature and wants closer compliance with local colors, straw huts and bungalows built in traditional Polynesian style. The architecture is traditional for this kind of paradise, with the "center of life" on the beach and bungalows feet in the water of the lagoon.
With 99 rooms and suites, the hotel is very exclusive. Due to construction on stilts, visitors will experience the privilege to feel almost alone in the world at the beauty of the lagoon. The rooms are simple and highlight the Polynesian culture, with essences of natural wood and a traditional decorative arrangement. We particularly like the terrace and the few steps that overlook the sea. Ideal for a quick swim and explore the seabed.
For here the main activity is snorkeling in the turquoise waters of the lagoon. We jumped into the water from his room, and turtles that lead to the exploration of the lagoon without even without realizing we follow. The water is warm, and it's good. After this session in the water, visitors can relax on the terrace or in the bar, to share the experience with other travelers. At night the restaurant offers fresh food made of fish and shellfish and accompanied by fine wines.
Le Méridien Bora Bora is one of the finest hotels in the world, especially because the environment is absolutely amazing. Being in the heart of paradise greatly facilitates the appreciation of the place, but is it still the staff is good and helpful, and the architecture and design are waiting for you. For us, the bet is successful. It is also for the hundreds of people who come here on their honeymoon every year in order to focus on them, and get lost in this corner of paradise.
