Marara
means 'flying fish' in Polynesian, and the Sofitel Marara located on the
enchanting island of Bora Bora, just a 45-minute flight from Papeete,
offers you the chance to 'fly' - to experience total freedom to be
yourself.
The
resort creates the impression of a Tahitian village with 64
traditional-style bungalows built on stilts over the lagoon, located on
the beautiful white sand beach, and nestled in lush garden settings.
All
bungalows have recently been renovated to give you a feeling of comfort
and spaciousness and have Polynesian furnishings, ceiling fans, mini-bar,
IDD telephones, and private bathroom with shower.
The
friendliness and hospitality of this fun resort is experienced in a host
of facilities and complimentary activities that include one of the few
swimming pools on Bora Bora, tennis, volley ball, windsurfing, and
outrigger canoes.
Other
options include scuba diving, waterskiing, parasailing, deep-sea fishing,
and trips to a small island across the lagoon owned by the hotel, where
guests can enjoy a secluded picnic, snorkel, and explore their own
deserted beaches.
Sun-kissed
enchantment...
When
it comes to special tours and attractions, the Marara's famous shark
feeding excursion is not to be missed. Guests also have a wealth of ways
to discover this exotic island by glass-bottom boat, jeep, bike, and even
helicopter.
Throughout
the week, there are special theme evenings and Polynesian feasts designed
to convey the culture and history of the islands to guests through food,
songs, dances, and demonstrations of traditional arts and crafts.
Guests
can dine on excellent international, French and Polynesian cuisine at the
La Perouse restaurant which is built over the placid waters of the lagoon,
or relax in the sunset glow of the adjacent Le Corail Bar.
Other
services include a boutique, currency exchange, safe deposit boxes, as
well as car, bike, camera and underwater video rental.
For
couples with children, one child under the age of twelve may stay free of
charge in the parents' accommodation, and in some garden and beach
bungalows two children may stay free of charge.
For
a romantic wedding on the beach or that bliss-filled escape, the staff at
Sofitel Marara welcomes you to Bora Bora with open arms and smiling faces.
