Ali Fedotowosky and her final two bachelors were lavishly housed at the Hilton Bora Bora Nui Resort & Spa – whose suite-sized thatched roof villas were voted the “#1 Honeymoon Suite in the World” by Modern Bride Magazine.
The seven-year-old resort has arguably the best location in the dream destination, including the island’s only hillside setting surrounding a sacred cove and a black rock peak said to be the playground of the Polynesian god Hiro.
The iconic, thatched-roof overwater bungalow has become a symbol of the Tahitian vacation experience. Quite appropriately, the always anticipated introduction to the Bachelorette’s parents took place in the first, two-story over-water bungalow in the island nation – in one of the Nui’s two, new Over-water Presidential Villas – the only such accommodations in French Polynesia.
To make it easy for South Pacific dreamers to experience the same kinds of Bora Bora adventures that Ali and her bachelors did, the resort has launched a special “Bora Bora For Lovers Package” which includes:
- 5 Nights in an Overwater Villa
- Motu Tapu Escape with Gourmet Island Picnic
- Daily International Breakfast Buffet
- Airport Boat Transfers
About the Hilton Bora Bora Nui
The 122-room resort weaves native materials like curly kahia wood, tapas cloth and mother of pearl throughout elegant spaces, beautifully intertwining island décor with the latest in modern conveniences. The resort also features a hilltop, indoor-outdoor “spa-with-a-jaw-dropping-view;” a 1,000-meter infinity pool that seemingly melts into the lagoon; the Iriatai restaurant that pairs fine fusion cuisine with stunning horizon views; the Tamure Grill that offers casual, feet-in-the-sand dining; and a half-mile white sand beach with complimentary water toys.
Exclusive features of the two, new Over-water Presidential Villas include an open air floor plan with modern island decor; deep, sleek bathtubs against full glass walls looking on the blue, blue lagoon; a plunge pool on the lower deck; a spiral staircase and a wellness/massage/sauna room upstairs along with a gazebo, hot tub and bar on the upstairs deck too.
