Bora Bora & Beyond Overwater Villa Package

Step into a scene worthy of a travel postcard as you gaze across a turquoise lagoon and discover why Tahiti is considered one of the most beautiful places on Earth. With our convenient package, you'll overnight in Papeete before a short flight to iconic Bora Bora. Spend two nights in an overwater villa where you can snorkel in the lagoon, connect with Polynesian culture, and soak in the island’s lush colors. Then board your yacht in Papeete for a week of unforgettable island experiences, including a beach barbecue on a private motu off Tahaa and an overnight in Bora Bora featuring our exclusive Destination Discovery Event: Polynesian Feast & Fire with mesmerizing fire dancers. Our water access Marina will be open in multiple ports for kayaking, paddleboarding and relaxing on our water cabana.

Packages must be booked at least 60 days prior to your cruise date. Connecting flights across the U.S. to Papeete are also available.
 

You will be transferred from the airport to the Intercontinental Tahiti Resort located on 32 acres of lush tropical garden and facing an idyllic lagoon. This well-known resort in Tahiti offers a host of activities including diving in the coral reefs, a lagoonarium, two gorgeous infinity pools, fine dining at two beautiful restaurants, relaxing at the Deep Nature Spa or attending world-class dinner shows. Your time is your own to enjoy an intimate dinner at Le Lotus overwater gourmet restaurant or relax in the Lobby Bar or try a signature cocktail while enjoying some live music at the Tiki Bar.

Check out from the Intercontinental Tahiti Resort & Spa and take a short flight to the exclusive Conrad Bora Bora Nui on Bora Bora for your stay in an overwater bungalow. Spend your day swimming from your overwater bungalow, visiting the pool, and taking in every moment of relaxation.

Relax on sunny beaches, sample Tahitian fare, and take in the effervescent spirit of the city. But whatever you do, save time — and luggage space — for shopping. Black pearls and colorful crafts fill the market and local treasures are so plentiful you’ll have trouble making your choices but you won't be bothered with large crowds and big tour groups because French Tahiti is only accessible to small ships like ours.

Spend the morning in search of the perfect sailing conditions as we make our way toward Raiatea. This route offers the best chance to raise the sails and truly let the ship show what it can do. While exact timing depends on the wind and weather, we've built flexibility into the itinerary to allow for sailing either in the morning or the evening before—whenever nature is most favorable. It’s all part of the adventure, so keep an eye on the horizon and get ready for a dynamic, wind-powered experience.
 

Raiatea, “The Sacred Island,” is located just across the lagoon from Tahaa and shares the same barrier reef. (Legend claims the two were a single island until a conger eel possessed by the spirit of a princess separated them.) It used to be the center of religion and culture in the Society Islands. Taputapuatea, on the southeast coast, was once the most important marae around, the place where kings from the neighboring islands would gather for important ceremonies. Uturoa, the main town, reminds some people of Papeete in its younger days with its quaint low-rise buildings. Raiatea is also home to the only navigable river in the islands, the Fa’aroa. Explore Polynesian history or climb Mount Temehani in search of the rare tiare apetahi flower, which grows only here.

We will spend the day on a private island complete with swaying palm trees and white-sand beaches. Swim, snorkel and enjoy a variety of water sports in the crystal-clear waters. There will be a delicious barbecue lunch and tropical drinks waiting for you. Explore Tahaa with optional excursions to discover the vanilla plantations and sacred sites of the island.

If guests would like to visit Taha’a, they must book a Windstar Cruises shore excursion. Guests without a shore excursion booked will be transferred directly to Motu Mahaea for a relaxing beach day.

Our stay here allows plenty of time to capture the beauty in photographs — and you’ll want plenty. These stunning waters will show a different kaleidoscope of blue in each frame. You’ll have lots of options for exploration, whether you prefer the access provided by a 4-by-4, or the thrill of riding in the open air. Stretch out on stunning white-sand beaches, dive and swim in brightly colored seas, or sail among the tiny islands and lagoons. This is the stuff that dreams are made of and available to small ships.
