The best places in Bora Bora to get engaged

With a pristine coastline like Bora Bora, it would be amiss not to take advantage of the enchanting views with a beachside proposal.

With the help of your resort concierge, you can whisk your love to the beachfront or waterfront where the most intimate setting awaits. Meander down a candlelit walkway, where you’ll find a two-seater table, set up just for you. Here you’ll be served a bespoke menu that you know your partner will love. 

If you want to make it truly special, you could book the Polynesian dancing show and fire dance, or even fireworks to celebrate the occasion. One of the best places to do this is Four Seasons  Resort Bora Bora, which offers the most captivating views of the mountains and the glittering lagoon. It's one of our favourite ultra-luxury holidays in Bora Bora!

One of the most romantic things you could do is enlist the help of the resort staff to create a romantic room makeover that will take their breath away.

You could opt to have rose petals strewn all over the bed with candles leading them to the proposal spot. Or even fill your private pool with petals, or perhaps a flower bath? Make sure you add champagne to toast the event after the inevitable ‘yes.’

You can book a wedding turndown service at The St Regis Bora Bora Resort.

If you’re looking for a private and intimate proposal in Bora Bora, book an Overwater Bungalow to have your own private slice of heaven.

Show them how much they mean to you with a villa that provides unrivalled views of the lagoon and Mt Otemanu. Or for a more low-key proposal, you could simply ask with champagne from the beauty spot of your deck. 

Some of the best villas in Bora Bora are The Presidential Overwater Villa at Conrad Bora Bora Nui, the Premium Overwater Villas at InterContinental Bora Bora Resort Thalasso Spa and the Royal Estate at The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort.

They say food is the way to the heart, so a dinner proposal at one of the most sumptuous restaurants on the island, just seems right.

The main Lagoon Restaurant by Jean-Georges at The St Regis Bora Bora Resort is one of the most famous restaurants in Bora Bora. With the most incredible views and exquisite fine dining on the menu, you’re sure to make their jaw drop and say yes. 

Celebrate your exciting news on the terrace as you look out to sea and admire the majestic marine life accompanied by some of the finest wines possible. 

Take to the tranquil waters on a private cruise as you elegantly sail across the most spectacular lagoon. As the sun sets over the mountains, you’ll toast to your happy future. You can even book a romantic meal as you set sail under the stars— it’s the perfect way to ask for their hand in marriage. 

The best thing about Bora Bora is the plethora of private islands to explore. For an intimate experience, you can book a boat ride and snorkel tour out to one of the private islands.

Spend the day swimming with manta rays, string rays, and sharks before heading to the beach for a romantic meal for two, as you dip your feet in the water. Then, pick your perfect moment to ask them to spend the rest of your lives together.
