Tiki Ora Lodge - MOTU

Between the lagoon shallows and a steep interior ridge on Bora-Bora's main island, Tiki Ora Lodge - MOTU sets its semi-detached units around a garden courtyard rather than a lobby, with mountain views from the terraces and pool views from the kitchenette windows — a self-catering base for families and independent travellers who'd rather cook than dine out.

Each unit carries its own kitchenware, stovetop, and outdoor dining table on a private patio. A kids' pool sits apart from the main outdoor pool, and bicycle rental covers the flat coastal road toward Vaitape without needing a car.
