All-Inclusive Resorts in Bora Bora, French Polynesia & Fiji (2026): What Exists

Search for an all-inclusive in Bora Bora and you'll mostly find breakfast-included overwater bungalows. We checked what the big resorts actually sell, priced a June 2027 week, and found the few true all-inclusives in French Polynesia and Fiji. Each one is labelled honestly: all-inclusive, full board or meal plan.

Quick answer

  • We found no true all-inclusive resorts in Bora Bora, French Polynesia. The big names sell overwater bungalows with breakfast, half board or full board. The Westin Bora Bora (formerly Le Méridien) was the only one selling full board online, at $18,074 for 7 nights in June 2027.
  • The one genuine all-inclusive in French Polynesia is The Brando on Tetiaroa atoll, a 20-minute flight from Tahiti. Its all-inclusive package (minimum 3 nights) is the only one eligible for its free round-trip flights from Papeete.
  • Fiji is where the South Pacific's real all-inclusives are. Turtle Island includes all meals, wine, champagne, scuba diving and two massages (from $9,000 for the 5-night minimum), and adults-only Namale includes alcohol with every room.
  • Meal plans in Bora Bora are expensive. At the InterContinental Le Moana, adding half board raised a 7-night overwater stay from $11,414 to $16,608, about $740 more per night for two. Budget $250–$750 a day for food if you book breakfast only.
  • Go May to October, the dry season: Bora Bora averages 2.4 inches of rain in July against nearly 10 inches in December and January. The South Pacific cyclone season runs November 1 to April 30.
  • Nonstops from the U.S.: Los Angeles to Papeete (Air Tahiti Nui, Air France) and San Francisco to Papeete (United, French Bee). For Fiji, Fiji Airways flies to Nadi from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Honolulu.

Our verdict

Our verdict: for true all-inclusive, go to Fiji; for Bora Bora, book a meal plan

If you want one price that covers everything, go to Fiji. Turtle Island and Namale are the real thing: meals, drinks including alcohol and most activities are included. Vomo, Likuliku, Royal Davui and Kokomo include all meals, but you pay for drinks. These boutique islands sell mostly direct or through specialist agents rather than on Booking.com, where the guest scores on this page come from, so we cover them, unscored, in their own section below.

If you've set your heart on Bora Bora, accept that you're booking an overwater bungalow and a meal plan. Our rated picks: Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts for value (9.4 on Booking.com, about $1,940 a night with breakfast), and the Westin Bora Bora if you want full board online. For the best food and quiet in French Polynesia, choose Le Taha'a, the islands' first Relais & Châteaux (9.7). On a tighter budget, choose Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea (about $1,500 a night half board).

In Fiji, our rated picks are Tokoriki for adults-only and Castaway Island or Plantation Island for families. Prices are Booking.com totals for two adults, June 9–16, 2027, taxes included, checked October 2026. Our opinions come from official inclusion lists and recent guest reviews, not our own stays.

Are there all-inclusive resorts in Bora Bora, French Polynesia?

Not in the Cancun sense. We checked what the major Bora Bora resorts sell on Booking.com for June 9–16, 2027 (two adults, taxes included), and none of them offered an all-inclusive rate with drinks. The best you can do is full board:

Resort Cheapest room with breakfast (7 nights) Best meal plan sold Plan price (7 nights)
InterContinental Bora Bora Le Moana $11,414 Half board $16,608
Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts $13,551 Breakfast only n/a
The Westin Bora Bora (formerly Le Méridien) $14,927 Full board (3 meals) $18,074
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora $23,139 Breakfast only n/a

So how do travel sites list "Bora Bora all-inclusive" packages? Usually they're tour-operator bundles of flights, transfers, a resort and a meal plan. Drinks are almost never included, and a cocktail in Bora Bora is expensive. Read the inclusions line by line.

Why meal plans cost so much here

Nearly everything is imported. At the InterContinental Le Moana, half board added about $740 a night for two on our dates. Guests at several resorts say food doesn't always match the price. A Westin reviewer called it "very disappointing," and a Four Seasons guest said food was "not at par" with the property. If you'll explore Vaitape and the lagoon, consider breakfast-only and pay as you go.

The real all-inclusive options

  • The Brando (Tetiaroa, 20 minutes by air from Tahiti) sells an all-inclusive package, minimum 3 nights, and its free-flights offer applies only to that package (The Brando).
  • A small-ship cruise. Tahiti Tourisme notes that all-inclusive cruise packages typically include full board on board plus excursions (Tahiti Tourisme).
  • Fiji, a flight west, has several true all-inclusive islands (see below).

Booking.com9.4/10 · 463

Checked Oct 2026; review counts in grey.

Our take

Le Bora Bora, the former Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort, is the resort we'd pick for the classic Bora Bora week without Four Seasons pricing. It sits on Motu Tevairoa, about 10 minutes by boat from the airport and 15 from Vaitape. It has 108 rooms and villas, including several categories of overwater bungalow and pool villas, plus three restaurants and two bars (Le Bora Bora). Booking.com rates it 9.4 from 463 reviews, and guests praise the location, rooms and grounds.

To be clear, this is not an all-inclusive. Booking.com sold only breakfast-included rates on our June 2027 dates, from $13,551 for seven nights in a Garden Villa with Pool. Lunch and dinner are à la carte at Otemanu, Miki Miki or the Poerava fine-dining room. Budget for food and drinks on top.

The weak spot in recent reviews is restaurant service. One August 2026 guest described mixed-up orders, long waits and a slow bill, and said the stay would otherwise have been great. We'd book it for couples who want a motu with Otemanu views and will happily take the boat into Vaitape for a cheaper meal.

Booking.com9.3/10 · 184

Checked Oct 2026; review counts in grey.

Our take

The former Le Méridien Bora Bora now appears on Booking.com as The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa, and it was the only big Bora Bora resort we found selling a full-board rate online. On our June 2027 dates, an overwater bungalow came to $14,927 with breakfast or $18,074 with breakfast, lunch and dinner. The difference works out to about $450 a night for two, which is cheaper than the InterContinental's half-board premium. Drinks are not included.

Guests love the setting. Booking.com rates it 9.3 from 184 reviews, with frequent praise for the white-sand beach, warm water and lagoon-view breakfast. Food is the recurring criticism: one July 2026 reviewer called it very disappointing for the price and the breakfast buffet average. Others wanted small extras such as an afternoon yoga class.

We'd book full board here only if you plan to stay on the motu most nights, since that's when a meal plan pays off. If you'd rather eat around the island, take breakfast only. Because the property changed brands, confirm the current meal plans and restaurant names with the hotel before booking.

Booking.com9.7/10 · 171

Checked Oct 2026; review counts in grey.

Our take

Le Taha'a is the highest-rated resort we checked in French Polynesia: 9.7 on Booking.com from 171 reviews. It was the first Relais & Châteaux property in the islands, with 59 suites and villas, including two royal villas, on Motu Tautau facing Bora Bora's silhouette (Le Taha'a). Taha'a itself is the quiet vanilla island that shares a lagoon with Raiatea. You get Bora Bora-style overwater living without Bora Bora's boat traffic.

It is not all-inclusive. Booking.com sold breakfast-included rates only on our dates, from $14,768 for seven nights. With three restaurants on a private motu and nowhere else to walk to, you will eat every meal on site, so budget generously.

Guests rave about the restaurants and staff. The consistent complaint is extras. A September 2026 reviewer said the boat collection and drop-off should be included, and called room service and the spa expensive. We'd book it for food-focused honeymooners who want peace. Ask the resort for a half-board or package quote, since it's sold mainly through specialists.

$1,631–$2,373 per night for two · Booking.com, 2 adults, 7 nights Jun 9–16, 2027, King Overwater Bungalow with breakfast ($11,414) or half board ($16,608), incl. taxes and fees, checked Oct 2026.

Guest ratings

Booking.com9.2/10 · 433

Checked Oct 2026; review counts in grey.

Our take

Le Moana was the cheapest way into a Bora Bora overwater bungalow among the resorts we priced: $11,414 for seven nights with breakfast in June 2027. Its location on the main island is its main selling point, and reviewers praise sunsets, sunrises and snorkeling straight from the room. Being on the main island makes it easy to explore by bike or taxi and eat out, which matters when meals are this expensive. Booking.com rates it 9.2 from 433 reviews.

Half board is sold, but it's costly. It raised the same week to $16,608, about $740 a night more for two. Given mixed comments on the food, including one guest who said a meal at the Noi Noi restaurant was not good, we'd skip the plan and eat out. Other gripes are dated touches such as a handheld shower with no screen, few Polynesian shows for short stays, and a high transfer price.

We'd book it for travellers who want the overwater bungalow at the lowest price and plan to explore. Those wanting a secluded motu or included meals should look elsewhere.

Checked Oct 2026; review counts in grey.

Our take

Four Seasons is Bora Bora's big-name splurge and our most expensive rated pick: $23,139 for seven nights with breakfast in June 2027, about $3,300 a night for two. Booking.com rates it 9.2 from 124 reviews. Guests call the bungalows very spacious, the grounds well maintained and the staff exceptional at celebrations.

For an all-inclusive shopper, the problem is that you're paying for the brand, not a plan. Booking.com sold only room-only and breakfast rates, and two recent reviewers flagged that the in-room minibar was empty. One said the food generally wasn't at the level of the property. So you'll pay Four Seasons prices for every lunch, dinner and cocktail on top of the room.

We'd book it for a milestone trip where service and space matter more than the bill. If the point is a known, all-in cost, Fiji's Turtle Island at roughly $1,800 a night with everything included is the better buy.

Booking.com8.6/10 · 405

Checked Oct 2026; review counts in grey.

Our take

The Sofitel on Moorea is the value play in French Polynesia, and the one resort here where half board is reasonably priced. On our June 2027 dates a Luxury Villa was $9,186 for seven nights with breakfast or $10,480 on half board. That is a supplement of only about $185 a night for two, far less than Bora Bora's resorts charge. Moorea is also a short hop from Tahiti, so you skip the Bora Bora flight.

The beach is the star. One reviewer called it the most beautiful they'd ever seen, and Booking.com rates the resort 8.6 from 405 reviews. The trade-offs show in the score. Reviewers found the buffet expensive for what it was, felt the resort is isolated apart from a supermarket about a kilometre away, and found some excursions too commercial.

We'd book it on half board as the first half of a Moorea-plus-Bora Bora week, or alone for travellers who want the Tahiti look at a lower price. Skip it if you want overwater luxury or fine dining.

Our take

Tokoriki is the only adults-only Fiji island on this page with a current guest score, and its guests are near-unanimous: 9.9 on Booking.com, though from just 31 reviews. It has 36 villas and bures with a maximum of 72 guests, and its own site lists Condé Nast and Travel + Leisure honours. Rates include afternoon tea, cocktail tasting with canapés three evenings a week, daily snorkel trips, nightly entertainment and kava ceremonies (Tokoriki).

It is not all-inclusive by default. Booking.com sold room-only rates ($10,691 for seven nights in a Beachfront Bure), and meals are added through the resort's dining packages. One reviewer only discovered after booking that rates including food were available. Book direct or ask for the package, since on an outer Mamanuca island you'll eat every meal on site. Wi-Fi in rooms was patchy in one 2025 review.

We'd book it for honeymooners who want a small, romantic, adults-only island with quick access from Nadi. If you want drinks included, Namale is the alternative.

Our take

Castaway is the Fiji family resort we'd book first. It's a full-service island resort in the Mamanucas, now run by Outrigger, and guests rate it 9.1 on Booking.com from 239 reviews. Location, staff, food and activities all draw praise, and reviewers single out its suitability for families.

It isn't all-inclusive. Booking.com sold room-only Island Bures at $5,787 for seven nights in June 2027, with breakfast about $22 per person extra. The resort does sell meal plans. One June 2026 guest's tip is worth noting: they found the meal plans significantly more expensive than paying as you go, so compare your family's likely spend before you commit.

The other complaints we saw were small, such as a pool that could have been warmer in Fiji's mild winter. We'd book it for families who want a proper island with a kids' programme, a quick transfer from Nadi and the flexibility to eat what they like.

Booking.com8.4/10 · 614

Our take

Plantation Island is the cheapest South Pacific island resort we priced, and it is aimed at families. A Poolside Room was $2,454 for seven nights in June 2027, about $350 a night. Children aged 0–11 eat free from the kids menu or buffet with two paying adults and ride free on the Malolo Cat ferry, except two listed departures (Plantation Island). Meal plans are sold too, priced in Fiji dollars.

Guests rate it 8.4 on Booking.com from 614 reviews. Families praise the kids club and entertainment, and repeat visitors say the resort keeps upgrading its facilities. The negatives are what you'd expect at this price: food that isn't amazing, a lack of quick lunch options, hard kids' beds and erratic room servicing reported in August 2026.

We'd book it for families who want Fiji on a budget and will spend the days in the water and the kids club. Couples looking for romance should look at Tokoriki or Likuliku instead.

Pros & cons

Bora Bora, Tahiti and Fiji for an all-inclusive: why go, why not

Reasons to go

  • Overwater bungalows in some of the world's most famous lagoons
  • Nonstop flights from Los Angeles and San Francisco to both Tahiti and Fiji
  • Fiji has genuine all-inclusive islands, including some with alcohol included
  • Lowest State Department advisory level (Level 1) in both French Polynesia and Fiji
  • Dry season from May to October with highs in the mid-80s °F

Reasons to think twice

  • We found no true all-inclusive in Bora Bora itself; meal plans are expensive
  • Food quality often trails the price, per recent reviews
  • Long journeys with inter-island flights and boat transfers
  • Cyclone season from November to April, with the heaviest rain in December and January
  • Many top Fiji all-inclusives are sold direct with little public price information

The true all-inclusive resorts in Fiji and Tahiti (and what they include)

These properties are sold mostly direct or through specialist agents rather than on Booking.com, the source of the guest scores elsewhere on this page. Without a comparable current guest score we haven't scored them, but here is exactly what their official pages say is included:

Property Where Type What's included Not included / notes
Turtle Island Yasawa Islands, Fiji All-inclusive All meals, all drinks including fine wines, spirits and champagne, all water and land activities including scuba, 2 half-hour massages, sunset cruise, laundry 14 bures; 5-night minimum; from about $9,000 (USD) per stay
Namale Resort & Spa Savusavu, Vanua Levu, Fiji All-inclusive, adults-only Accommodation, meals, beverages including alcohol, activities, airport shuttle from Savusavu Spa extra; 22 bures and villas
VOMO Island Mamanuca/Yasawa edge, Fiji Meals included All meals, non-alcoholic drinks, daily snorkel safari, non-motorized sports, kids village, laundry Alcohol, spa, diving extra

Royal Davui Beqa Lagoon, Fiji Meals included, 16+ Breakfast, lunch and dinner; non-motorized activities; Nadi transfers on 5+ nights 16 villas; diving, spa, cruises extra
Kokomo Private Island Kadavu, Fiji Full board À la carte meals including in-villa dining, non-alcoholic minibar, kids' and teens' clubs, shared transfers on residence stays Alcohol extra
The Brando Tetiaroa, French Polynesia All-inclusive package Package eligible for free Papeete–Tetiaroa flights (min. 3 nights) 35 villas + 1 residence

Sources: Turtle Island, Namale FAQ, VOMO FAQ, Likuliku, Royal Davui, Kokomo, The Brando.

Which one we'd pick

For a truly all-in honeymoon, Turtle Island is the purest version. Only 14 couples stay at a time, and even scuba diving and champagne are covered. Namale is the adults-only alternative with alcohol included and a short airport hop. Families with older kids should look at VOMO or Kokomo, but budget for drinks. Likuliku is the only adults-only Fiji resort with authentic overwater bures, and it describes itself as the first in Fiji to have them.

Bora Bora vs. Taha'a vs. Moorea vs. Fiji: where to stay

Area What it's like Price level Best for
Bora Bora Famous lagoon around Mount Otemanu; resorts on the motus face the peak Highest Overwater-bungalow honeymoons
Taha'a & Raiatea Quiet vanilla island sharing a lagoon with Raiatea; Le Taha'a and Vahine Private Island High Food, privacy, fewer crowds
Moorea Short hop from Tahiti, mountains and bays, more to do on land Mid-high Value, hiking, combining with Tahiti
Tetiaroa Private atoll of 12 motus, The Brando only Ultra All-inclusive privacy
Fiji: Mamanuca Islands off Nadi with quick boat transfers; family resorts and adults-only islands Mid to high Families, short transfers
Fiji: Yasawa, Vanua Levu, Kadavu, Beqa Remote, mostly reached by seaplane, helicopter or domestic flight High to ultra True all-inclusive, diving

Bora Bora basics

The main island is only about 8 km by 5 km, and its airport sits on Motu Mute, a reef islet. Air Tahiti flies there five or six times a day from Tahiti (Wikipedia). From the airport, your resort collects you by boat. Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts, for example, is about 10 minutes away on Motu Tevairoa (Le Bora Bora).

Combining islands

Many Americans split a week between Moorea and Bora Bora, or Taha'a and Bora Bora. That pays off because a cheaper Moorea or half-board stay offsets the Bora Bora splurge. Fiji and French Polynesia don't combine easily, so pick one region per trip.

Best time to visit Bora Bora, Tahiti and Fiji

May to October is the dry season in both French Polynesia and Fiji. Bora Bora's 1991–2020 Météo-France normals show about 2.4–2.5 inches of rain a month in July, August and September, against 9.7–9.9 inches in December and January (Wikipedia). Highs stay between 84 °F and 89 °F all year. Fiji follows the same pattern. Nadi averages about 2 inches of rain in July and more than 13 inches a month from January to March (Wikipedia).

Cyclone season

The South Pacific tropical cyclone season runs November 1 to April 30. Fiji's Meteorological Service in Nadi is the official regional monitoring centre (Wikipedia). Storms don't hit every year, but this is also the wettest, most humid stretch, so buy insurance that covers weather if you travel then.

Price seasons

June to August is peak season, when Australians and New Zealanders head to Fiji for winter and the dry season brings demand to Tahiti. November and February to March tend to be the cheapest. The Christmas holidays are busy everywhere. Tahiti Tourisme also notes that the Matari'i i ni'a "season of abundance" begins around November 20, when the rains return and the islands turn lush.

Flights from LAX and SFO to Tahiti and Fiji

Tahiti (PPT, Faa'a International): Air Tahiti Nui flies nonstop from Los Angeles, and Air France also serves Los Angeles. United and French Bee fly from San Francisco. Hawaiian Airlines flies from Honolulu and lists Seattle/Tacoma service starting June 12, 2027 (Wikipedia). From Papeete, Air Tahiti and Air Moana fly to Bora Bora and Moorea.

Fiji (NAN, Nadi International): Fiji Airways flies to Nadi from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Honolulu, as well as Vancouver. Its Dallas/Fort Worth route has been terminated (Wikipedia). From Nadi, Mamanuca resorts are reached by catamaran, water taxi or helicopter. Likuliku, for example, is 25 km (16 miles) from the airport, and the direct South Sea Cruises catamaran takes 55 minutes, from FJD $166 per person each way (Likuliku). Namale and the Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort are about a one-hour Fiji Link flight to Savusavu (Namale).

Plan the connection

Because Tahiti flights from the U.S. often arrive late at night or early in the morning, many travellers spend a night on Tahiti before flying on to Bora Bora. Fiji's outer islands follow seaplane and boat schedules, so check the last transfer time before you book your flights.

What it costs: 7 nights for two in June 2027

We priced each rated resort on Booking.com for two adults, June 9–16, 2027, with taxes and fees included (checked October 2026):

Resort Basis 7 nights Per night
Plantation Island (Fiji) Room only $2,454 $351
Castaway Island (Fiji) Room only $5,787 $827
Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea Breakfast / half board $9,186 / $10,480 $1,312 / $1,497
Tokoriki Island (Fiji) Room only $10,691 $1,527
InterContinental Le Moana Breakfast / half board $11,414 / $16,608 $1,631 / $2,373
Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts Breakfast $13,551 $1,936
Le Taha'a by Pearl Resorts Breakfast $14,768 $2,110
The Westin Bora Bora Breakfast / full board $14,927 / $18,074 $2,132 / $2,582
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora Breakfast $23,139 $3,306

For comparison, Turtle Island's all-inclusive starts at about $9,000 for its 5-night minimum (roughly $1,800 a night for two with everything included), according to its rates page.

Money tips

  • French Polynesia uses the CFP franc (XPF) and Fiji the Fiji dollar. Likuliku sells only in Fiji dollars and adds a 2.5% card fee.
  • A Castaway guest's advice applies widely in Fiji: meal plans can cost more than paying as you go, so do the maths for your eating habits.
  • See our luxury all-inclusive guide and honeymoon picks for comparable bucket-list resorts elsewhere.

Planning ranges for two adults, June 2027. The resort line uses Booking.com totals from this page (InterContinental Le Moana with breakfast at the low end, Four Seasons with breakfast at the high end). The half-board line is Le Moana's actual supplement. Flights, transfers, food without a plan and excursions are our estimates, not quotes.

Safety and practicalities

Both French Polynesia and Fiji carry the U.S. State Department's lowest rating, Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions. Both were reissued after periodic review without changes in December 2024 (French Polynesia, Fiji). Fiji's advisory adds standard advice about valuables and walking at night in towns.

Check entry rules for your passport on the State Department country pages before you book. Remote islands have limited medical care, so serious cases are flown to Tahiti or Nadi, and insurance with evacuation cover is sensible for Kadavu, the Yasawas and Tetiaroa.

Mistakes to avoid

  1. Assuming "all-inclusive Bora Bora" includes drinks. It almost never does. Even full board at the Westin covers meals only.
  2. Forgetting the boat. Resort boats from Bora Bora airport and Taha'a can carry steep fees, and reviewers at Le Moana and Le Taha'a mention them.
  3. Booking the wet season blind. December and January bring around 10 inches of rain a month in Bora Bora and fall within cyclone season.
  4. Adding a meal plan you won't use. On Bora Bora's main island and Moorea you can eat out. On private islands such as Taha'a's motus and Fiji's outer islands you can't.
  5. Mixing up full board and all-inclusive in Fiji. Likuliku, VOMO, Royal Davui and Kokomo include meals but charge for alcohol. Turtle Island and Namale include it.
  6. Underestimating connections. Overnight flights, inter-island hops and fixed boat schedules mean your first and last days are mostly travel.

If an easier all-inclusive is what you're after, the Maldives and Hawaii pages compare more conventional options.

What travel-forum regulars say

Travel-forum consensus

This summary draws on the Tripadvisor Bora Bora and Fiji forums and FlyerTalk's Bora Bora hotel threads. Most of these threads are older than 2023, so the meal-plan prices quoted in them are out of date; use them for the logic, not the numbers. The Bora Bora consensus is that a meal plan pays off only if you will eat most meals at your resort. Regulars say half or full board suits guests who stay on property and get hungry at lunch, while anyone exploring Vaitape and the lagoon, or happy with a main course and a shared starter, usually spends less paying as they go. Some long-time visitors argue that plans rarely save money at all; others value the convenience at an isolated resort. Posters add two checks: hotel elite status may already include breakfast, so a half-board rate can mean paying for it twice, and room service and alcohol are often excluded. That matches our pricing, where half board at the InterContinental Le Moana added about $740 a night for two. For Fiji, posters draw the same line we do: Likuliku's rate includes meals but not drinks, Tokoriki sells its meal plan separately, and very few resorts include drinks except the most expensive ones.

Posters say full board is worthwhile if you plan to stay at the hotel every day and get hungry at lunch. If you won't eat there every night, or are happy with a main course and a shared starter, paying as you go works out cheaper.

Weighing breakfast-only against half board at the St. Regis, one long-time visitor argued that meal plans never really save money in the long run, the skeptic's side of a debate that runs through the Bora Bora forum.

Comparing the two adults-only Mamanuca islands, posters note that Likuliku's rate includes meals, served in one restaurant at set times with no room service, while Tokoriki sells its meal plan as an extra that some found expensive for longer stays. This is an older thread.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are there any all-inclusive resorts in Bora Bora?

Not in the usual sense. In our October 2026 check of Bora Bora's major resorts, none sold an all-inclusive rate with drinks. The closest is full board (three meals, drinks extra), which The Westin Bora Bora (formerly Le Méridien) sold online at $18,074 for 7 nights in June 2027. Packages marketed as "all-inclusive Bora Bora" usually bundle flights, transfers and breakfast or half board.

What is the best all-inclusive resort in French Polynesia?

The Brando on Tetiaroa atoll is the one genuine all-inclusive we found in French Polynesia. It has 35 villas and a residence, a 20-minute flight from Tahiti, and an all-inclusive package (minimum 3 nights) that qualifies for free round-trip flights from Papeete. For a resort with a meal plan, Le Taha'a (9.7 on Booking.com) has the best food and guest scores we found.

What are the best all-inclusive resorts in Fiji?

Turtle Island in the Yasawas is the most complete. Its rate includes all meals, all drinks including wine and champagne, all activities including scuba and two massages, with a 5-night minimum from about $9,000. Namale is the adults-only alternative with alcohol included. VOMO, Likuliku, Royal Davui and Kokomo include meals but charge for alcohol.

How much does a week in Bora Bora cost for two?

On Booking.com for June 2027, a week with breakfast ran from $11,414 (InterContinental Le Moana) to $23,139 (Four Seasons), with taxes. Add $2,500–$5,200 for lunches and dinners or a half-board plan, plus drinks, excursions and flights. A realistic all-in budget for two is roughly $16,000–$35,000, depending on the resort.

When is the best time to go to Bora Bora and Fiji?

May to October, the dry season. Bora Bora averages about 2.4–2.5 inches of rain a month from July to September, against nearly 10 inches in December and January. Fiji's Nadi is driest in July. The South Pacific cyclone season runs November 1 to April 30, and June to August is peak season and the most expensive.

Can you fly nonstop to Bora Bora from the U.S.?

No. You fly nonstop to Papeete on Tahiti, then take a domestic flight. Air Tahiti Nui and Air France serve Los Angeles, and United and French Bee serve San Francisco. Air Tahiti and Air Moana fly onward to Bora Bora, with five or six Air Tahiti flights a day, and then your resort collects you by boat from the airport on Motu Mute.

Is Fiji or Bora Bora better for an all-inclusive?

Fiji. It has true all-inclusive islands such as Turtle Island and Namale, several full-board resorts, and family resorts such as Plantation Island from about $350 a night. Bora Bora has the more famous lagoon and overwater bungalows, but meals and drinks are extra almost everywhere. Choose Bora Bora for the view and Fiji for the all-in price.

Are there adults-only all-inclusive resorts in Fiji?

Yes. Namale on Vanua Levu is adults-only and includes meals, drinks with alcohol and activities. Likuliku Lagoon (full board, drinks extra) is adults-only and says it was Fiji's first adults-only resort with overwater bures. Royal Davui (meals included) is for guests 16 and over, and Tokoriki is adults-only with dining packages sold separately.
