Description
The InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa is situated between the "two hearts" of Motu Piti Aau (Islet), a coral island on the barrier reef. Decorated in cooperation with the InterContinental Hotels Group, its modern architecture and technology flourishes side by side with traditional authentic local arts and crafts. Blessed by year-round sun, with spectacular emerald peaks soaring over pristine lagoon waters of varying celestial shades of blues, and a gentle way of life, Bora Bora combines the best elements of nature to make any visit an unforgettable one. In such an idyllic setting, the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa creates a magical spa experience, combining the soothing powers of the islands and the European therapeutic regimen of deep seawater's curative benefits. In order to respect the environment, this extraordinarily pure deep sea water--drawn from a depth of 2500 feet--is also used for the air-conditioning of the entire resort. Check out our slide show from our recent visit.
