Ray tales
One of the most popular activities at the Sofitel Bora Bora is the daily ray feeding, which guests can safely participate in a few feet away.
Located some 200 kilometers from Tahiti, Bora Bora is the most famous of the Society Islands. Its name comes from the Polynesian word for "new born", and visitors will indeed feel reborn after a stay in this island paradise.
Approaching Bora Bora visitors are met with a sight that has enchanted for centuries. A coral reef, dotted with emerald motus (islands), encircles and protects the main island like a string of pearls, giving rise to Bora Bora's nickname, ‘Jewel of the South Seas’. The warm lagoon’s undulating rock and coral formations create a palette of unimaginable blues with infinite species of colourful fish and playful manta rays.
Sofitel Bora Bora sits on the edge of a lagoon at Point Matira, surrounded by pure white sands and coconut groves. On one of the Island’s most pristine beaches, at the base of lush rolling hills, it offers the true Tahitian experience.
