From Papeete you can take a ferry or short flight to the beautiful island of Moorea, to the stunning resorts of Bora Bora, or to the many other islands of French Polynesia.
Unfortunately the arrival times into Papeete mean that you will have to overnight there as there are no later flights to connect to other islands in French Polynesia.
Bora Bora and the Maldives are both famous for luxury resorts with incredible overwater bungalows. I’ve been to the W Maldives and the S. Regis Maldives, but I’ve yet to go to Bora Bora. That’s been partially due to how easy it is to find amazing business and first class awards to the Maldives, point deals that I’ve taken advantage of, and the ideal Maldives weather taking place during winter in the US.
The weather in French Polynesia in the winter is rainy, peak season is from May through October during the dry season.
IHG has 2 properties in Bora Bora, Marriott has 2 properties, and Hilton has 1 hotel there. If you can find award availability at the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort Thalasso Spa you can book right into an overwater villa.
IHG has hotels in Papeete and Moorea and Hilton has a Moorea property as well.
Papeete even has a Jewish community and an Orthodox shul, though unfortunately it’s not within walking distance of the Intercontinental Tahiti. There’s little information about it online, so I’d love to hear about it if you’ve been there.
Have you been to French Polynesia? Do you have plans to go in the future?

Dan, a little off direct topic, is there a way to book infant on lap with points? I just booked united award tickets to Israel, and was charged $180 each way. Thanks
They charge 10% of the cash price so If you book as a round trip it should be cheaper.
It’s a magical place
Why is there only one newish property in BoB (conrad) when the Maldives has another new place popping up every other day
Are there cheap Airbnb there?
I won’t fly coach on a flight to there or Maldives. Too long. Must lay down flat or I go someplace else. But, this might be ok for others who don’t have physical issues and and handle coach like I did when I was younger. Too bad United isn’t discounting their full lay down seats. I heard the new ATN planes have worse seats than the previous planes.
