The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort

What the classifiers highlight

Overwater villas here start at 1,550 square feet, among the largest in the South Pacific, each positioned so the bed frames a plunge pool and palm view. MICHELIN gives it Two Keys; Forbes rates it four stars and notes the 24-hour butler service and a private saltwater lagoon. Arrival means a boat transfer from the airport to the resort's island.
