Restaurants & Eateries
  • As of the most recent posts no kosher restaurants operate on Bora Bora itself. Visitors generally bring sealed meals, order airline-style meals through their hotel, or eat packaged food. Plan ahead!

Groceries / Supermarkets / Meat Stores
  • Supermarché Chin Lee (Papeete, Tahiti) – Large French supermarket that stocks basic kosher non-perishables (check hechsher). Good stop if you connect in PPT before flying to BOB.
  • Super U – Chain in Papeete with a small imported-kosher section (mainly Israeli/European canned goods).

Shuls & Minyanim
  • Synagogue de Tahiti – Beth Yeshoua – 1 Rue du Docteur Cassiau, Papeete. Orthodox Sephardi kehillah (~300 members). Minyan Friday night & Shabbat morning; bring passport to register. No regular meals provided, but they welcome visitors and may assist with kosher supplies.

Hotels & Lodging
  • St. Regis Bora Bora Resort – Ultra-luxury, huge over-water villas (some with plunge pools). Marriott Bonvoy Category 8; expect 80-120 k pts + per night. “Couples Retreat” filmed here; reviewers rave about service and lagoon views.
  • Le Méridien Bora Bora – Classic SPG/Marriott property set to become Hilton in 2025. Standard OWB runs 12-15 ft above a turtle-filled lagoon. Good cash+points value when available (historically 30 k pts + ≈$275).
  • Conrad Bora Bora Nui – Former Hilton Bora Bora Nui. All-suite resort on private motu with hillside & OWB options. Hilton Honors standard 120 k pts; occasional premium-room sales.
  • InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa – IHG Luxury Collection; every villa is over water. Excellent for IHG Free-Night Certificates + points top-up.
  • InterContinental Le Moana – Smaller, laid-back sister property on Matira Point; good value on points and closer to local stores/beach.
  • Moorea & Tahiti Stopovers – Many travellers spend Shabbat in Papeete or hop the 30-min ferry to Moorea (Hilton Moorea, Sofitel). Cheaper OWBs and easier access to shul/kosher supplies.

Things To Do / Attractions
  • Snorkel or dive with reef sharks, rays & coral gardens in Bora Bora lagoon.
  • Private lagoon-catamaran tour, picnic on a motu & sunset cruise.
  • 4×4 Jeep safari up to WWII guns & viewpoints of Mt. Otemanu.
  • Parasailing, jetski circuit around the island, kite-surfing on Matira Beach.
  • Deep-sea fishing (tuna, mahi-mahi) – resorts can cook your catch sealed/kosher style on request.
  • Spa day at IC Thalasso (seawater hydrotherapy) or St Regis Iridium Spa.
  • Day-trip to Moorea for hiking Magic Mountain & swim with dolphins.

Hi everyone! What's the story with brining pre-made food in? Any issues?

Also, trying to figure out how to approach OTW upgrades at Conrad (Diamond). Would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!
I brought in food without any issues.

Officially, the rooms at the STR have a 3 person max. Anyone know if they will allow 2 little kids, even if that means the occupancy is 4?

I fed this thread into ChatGPT and got back a tidy wiki (restaurants, shuls, hotels, errands, etc.). It’s a draft
What I need from you:
  • Scan it. If something feels off, missing, or outdated, holler.
  • Even better: hit "Edit" on the wiki post and patch it in place. One clean source beats a dozen scattered corrections.\
Goal: make life easier for newcomers. Your veteran knowledge is the secret sauce. Thanks!

Not bad. Can it scan the trip reports board for more TRs?

Probably write which replies it was generated from, rather than pages and bold the disclaimer.
