Conrad Bora Bora Overwater Villa Room Tour
We stayed in a “King Overwater Villa” at the Conrad Bora Bora Nui, a 5-star luxury resort in French Polynesia, in December 2021.
The Conrad brand of hotels and resorts are part of the Hilton hotel chain and can be booked with Hilton points. We saved thousands of dollars on our stay thanks to our cache of Hilton points and the benefits from our American Express Hilton Aspire credit card including Hilton Diamond status.

Conrad Bora Bora Nui: stunning luxury resort in Bora Bora (full review)
Conrad Bora Bora Nui is one of the most beautiful luxury resorts in the world. We spent six nights here and we had one of the best times ever in this corner of paradise. Enjoy this breathtaking views from Bora Bora turquoise lagoon.
Conrad Bora Bora is located on a private island, about 20 minutes boat transfer from Bora Bora airport. The location and the design is outstanding. All the villas and suites were renovated in 2016 and this is one of the best beach resorts we ever been. The hotel has the longest stretch of blue flag beach in French Polynesia.

We ended our 10-year anniversary trip to French Polynesia with several nights at the beautiful Conrad Bora Bora Nui in a gorgeous overwater bungalow with amazing sunset views. The resort, the food, and the staff were all top notch and it was pretty cool that Paris Hilton kicked off her honeymoon there during our stay. We also celebrated our 10 year anniversary with a Trash the Dress photo session where we wore our wedding attire from 10 years ago.

When you pay $3 for a $3K/night overwater villa at Conrad Bora Bora Nui
Anyone else get this excited about staying nearly free at luxury hotels with points? We booked Conrad Bora Bora Nui for 120K Hilton points/night. We booked a standard room for that rate, but thanks to our Hilton Diamond status (which we got automatically from our Hilton Aspire credit card) we were upgraded to this overwater villa! We made sure to let the hotel know in advance that we were there celebrating our 16th anniversary for a better chance at an upgrade.
If you’re interested in a Hilton credit card to earn points for (nearly) free hotel stays, see our list of favorite travel reward credit cards below and scroll to Amex. Since Hilton is a transfer partner of American Express, you could also transfer Amex points to Hilton (1:2 ratio), although we prefer to stretch more value out of our Amex points on international business or first class flights.
