Bora Bora: How Much Does it Cost

We have reached the end of our time in Bora Bora, so now it’s time to discuss how much a trip here might actually cost you. And unlike last week, I will actually be able to give you a full breakdown. So without any further ado, let’s get into it.

Flights.

As usual, I will give you a price range for each economy, business, and first-class. I will be using the prices of JFK and LAX to come up with this price range.

Economy

Price Range: $650-$1,000 as you can see an economy flight here is cheaper than you’d expect. But It’s also a long flight, so you might want to spring for a more expensive option.

Business

Price Range: $3,400-$5,500 Prices take quite a leap, but the added legroom after all of those hours might make it worth it. Unless you’re short.

First-class

Price Range: $5,000- $6,000 If you can’t find a business class seat on the cheap end of the scale, then you’re better off springing for first class because of the added benefits, and the similar price.

Disclosure

The prices you find may vary based on the airport you choose to leave from and the time you book.

Hotels

Much like flights, I will also give you a price range for budget, mid-range, and luxury hotels. I will warn you though that All-inclusive resorts don’t exist here either, so springing for the luxury hotels just might not be worth the extra costs.

Budget

Price Range: $80- $200. Budget doesn’t mean the same thing here as it does in a country like Zimbabwe since Bora Bora is considered a luxury destination.

Recommendation: Maitai Polynesia Bora Bora

This hotel does seem to be a good option and the picture above depicts their standard room, which you can book for $180 per night. They do have more expensive room options, like over-water bungalows, but the prices are currently unavailable for those. Breakfast is included, and they have free wifi and a breakfast buffet. There are also two restaurants on sight and a private beach.

Mid-Range

Price Range: $220- $400

Recommendation: None, you are better off booking a nicer room at the hotel mentioned above. Anything else available in this price range seems to be people’s nightly rentals that are not well-kept.

Luxury

Price Range: $800- $2,000

Recommendation: Four Seasons Resorts, Bora Bora

Rooms here start at $1,735 and that gets you a stay in one of the famous over-water bungalows. From there though, they only get more expensive, ranging up to $17,000 per night, which gets you a three-bedroom house. Keep in mind that, that doesn’t even get you an all-inclusive package. The amenities you do get are free breakfast, free wifi, gym access, a private beach, and more. But most of the amenities are going to cost you extra, like the spa. You can get a personal watercraft.

Food and Drink

Cost Per Day: $50-$100 per person per meal.

Excursions.

Because I have discussed things to do in the past, I’m going to just give a rough daily budget that should cover almost anything you’d want to do. You should expect to spend $200 per person on nearly every activity. Some things are more expensive, some are less however so book in advance any activity you truly want to do to avoid any surprises.

Total Price Range

As a solo traveler on a seven-day vacation, you should expect to spend anywhere from $3,700-$23,500. I did not include the most expensive hotel room available because that is an outlier. But if you are curious, that hotel room alone would cost you $120,000 for a one-week vacation. That’s not including the cost of flights, food, activities, or anything else.
