Robert Scullin, Vice President of Development, Australasia, Hilton Worldwide, comments: “We are pleased to be expanding our brand portfolio in the French Polynesia region, where we established our presence in 2009. This agreement underscores our strong commitment to this key market, which has demonstrated its resilience and its enduring appeal to travelers around the world.”
The resort will offer a full-service spa with eight treatment rooms, a kids club, mini-golf course, fitness centre and retail spaces. It will also incorporate over 100m2 of indoor meeting space, as well as a range of wedding facilities and its own private islet named Motu Tapu.
Condrad Bora Bora Nui’s food and beverage concepts include a modern take on a French Brasserie, serving breakfast and dinner set against sweeping views of the lagoon, a speciality beach restaurant serving Polynesian and Mediterranean cuisines, a contemporary Chinese restaurant, a swim-up pool bar and an overwater sunset bar and lounge, serving mid-afternoon tea service, light fare and post dinner digestives.
“Conrad now features 26 destinations globally, and with this exciting expansion into the South Pacific we fully expect the brand to resonate strongly with smart luxury travelers to the region. Guests of Conrad Bora Bora Nui can look forward to our inspired experiences, which will marry Tahitian culture and charm with Conrad’s intuitive, discrete, and seamless service,” comments John Vanderslice, Global head of Luxury and Lifestyle Brands, Conrad Hotels & Resorts.
