Bora Bora Resort: Sofitel Marara

Originally built by film-maker Dino de Laurentis for the film Hurricane, the Sofitel Marara is located on Point Matira and commands an expansive stretch of beach. The hotel has a choice of overwater, garden and beachfront bungalows. Known for its extremely welcoming Polynesian atmosphere, this resort is an excellent choice if you are looking for something less than the "ultra luxury" of many of Bora Bora's resorts. Activities include tennis, snorkeling and a range of optional excursions. Honeymooners are greeted with a fruit platter upon arrival.
