InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa

What the classifiers highlight

Only overwater villas here, including four new units of up to 3,400 square feet at the end of a long pier with butler service and a plunge pool. Forbes rates it four stars and singles out the Deep Ocean Spa, the first in French Polynesia built on seawater treatments. Le Corail keeps the region's largest wine cellar.
