A tropical sensory experience, this secluded spa is on a private islet off of Taha’a known as the Vanilla Island. Of course, vanilla is one of its signature massage scents along with frangipani, sandalwood, and ginger. Surrounded by a tropical garden and elegant bamboo trees, relax and enjoy full sunset views over Bora Bora during your massage. Signature rituals and treatments at Le Spa by Taha’a include Balneotherapy, Le Taha’a Royal (which begins with a warm coconut whirlpool bath), and Vanilla Dream, with healing tamanu oil. Couples can also take or renew wedding vows with a traditional Polynesian ceremony and dance.

4. Deep Ocean Spa

It’s not often an over-water bungalow treatment room features glass floor panels so that guests can do some tropical fish gazing while being massaged. Couple that with nutrient-rich marine treatments with seawater, seaweed, and marine mud, and you’ll see why the Deep Ocean Spa is one of a kind. Focusing on thalassotherapy, nourishing ocean water used in treatments is harvested from 3,000 feet below the surface. Guests can also enjoy rain showers, private Jacuzzis, and plunge pools with crystal-clear turquoise lagoon views under the backdrop of Bora Bora’s lush green peaks.

5. Fare Spa at Vahine Private Island

Secluded and tranquil, this exclusive one-room spa offers couples a true escape in paradise. Located on a private island, the relaxation begins as you walk through a coconut grove, over a wooden bridge to arrive on your very own islet. It’s just you, the spa, and your native Tahitian practitioner. No sound machine necessary—just relax to the natural sounds of the lagoon. Fare Spa offers a full menu for the face and body using homemade coconut massage oil mixtures. After a treatment, couples can unwind in the Jacuzzi or go for a swim in the private lagoon.

6. Hina Spa
