InterContinental Bora Bora Le Moana

InterContinental Bora Bora Le Moana Resort at a glance

Le Moana is a small, single-story resort of about 60 bungalows on Matira Point, at the southern tip of the main island. Unlike the motu resorts, it sits on the main island itself. Matira Beach, Bora Bora's only public beach, is right next door, so you can walk there in minutes. Without a boat, you can also reach Matira's beach bars, snack stands and restaurants, as well as Le Truck and taxis toward Vaitape.

Le Moana bungalows: which category to choose

All the standard bungalows are about 387 sq ft (36 m²), so you are choosing by position and view rather than size:

• Lagoon-View Beach Bungalow – on the sand, closest to the pool and restaurant. A good pick for families and the best value.
• Beach-View Overwater Bungalow – over the water, near the resort facilities.
• Otemanu Mountain-View Overwater Bungalow – the most requested, facing Mount Otemanu across the lagoon.
• Lagoon-View and Ocean-View Overwater Bungalows – farther out, looking toward the reef and horizon.
• End of Pontoon Overwater Bungalow – the most secluded, at the far end of the walkway.
• Poevai Overwater Suite – two bedrooms (about 989 sq ft) for families or two couples.

The bungalows don't have private pools. You swim from your deck ladder or at the shared outdoor pool.

Dining, pool and activities

Noa Noa serves breakfast and dinner, with a Polynesian dance show on Tuesday and Saturday evenings. Vini Vini, the beachside terrace bar and restaurant by the pool, handles lunch, light meals and sunset drinks with an Otemanu view. Expect to pay around XPF 5,450 per person for breakfast if it isn't in your rate. On-site extras include kayaks, outrigger canoes and snorkeling straight off the deck. Because you're on the main island, it's easy to eat out. Try Snack Matira for lunch, or browse the full Bora Bora restaurant guide.

Le Moana has no full spa of its own, though massages are available for a fee. Guests used to take the boat to its sister resort's Deep Ocean Spa, but the InterContinental Thalasso closed on 1 June 2026 and is due to reopen in late 2027 as Regent Bora Bora. Don't book Le Moana expecting spa access there.

Getting to Le Moana and what it costs

From Bora Bora Airport, the simplest route is the free airline shuttle boat to Vaitape (about 15 minutes) and then a taxi or arranged car south to Matira Point. The resort can also arrange a direct boat for a fee. Check the current price when you book. Rates start from about $700 a night. Beach bungalows are at the low end, and End of Pontoon overwater bungalows are at the top. That makes Le Moana one of the more affordable ways to sleep over the water on Bora Bora. Check the Maitai Polynesia next door if you want an even cheaper Matira base, and see our Bora Bora beaches guide for Matira tips.

Who InterContinental Le Moana suits

Le Moana works well if you want the overwater experience for a few nights but also want to walk to a public beach, eat at local restaurants and avoid paying for a boat every time you leave the resort. It suits first-time visitors on a mid-range budget, families who want beach bungalows near a shallow public beach, and couples splitting a stay between a motu resort and the main island. Travelers looking for butler service, private plunge pools or a full spa should look at the motu resorts instead.

More questions

Is InterContinental Le Moana a good choice for sunsets?

Yes. Matira Beach, a few steps away, is the island's classic public sunset spot. The Vini Vini terrace is another good place for an evening drink.
