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.
