Bora Bora: Hotels

Bora Bora has some of the most romantic, luxurious, and expensive hotels in the world – in this locale, anything under $300 per night qualifies as “budget” (top-tier properties go for upwards of $650 nightly). Accommodations tend toward lavish suites and over-water bungalows. Most have exotic wood interiors with light upholstery and colorful Polynesian accents (usually textiles and tropical flowers). Tetiaroa, the atoll once owned by Marlon Brando, is slated to open as the eco-luxury Hotel Brando in 2010.
