A PICTURE-PERFECT ISLAND GETAWAY
Enclosed by tropical gardens on the shores of Sainte-Marie, this welcoming resort delivers delicious cuisine, wonderful facilities and beautiful villa accommodation.
Facing the dreamy turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, Princesse Bora is a picture-perfect island getaway with an irresistibly laid-back charm. Dotted throughout the grounds and connected by boardwalks, the thatched villas are thoughtfully appointed with air conditioners, showers with separate toilets and large terraces with hammocks. Executive Beach Villas also enjoy sunken stone bathtubs and a private garden leading out towards the ocean.
Those with a taste for adventure will find many ways to explore the island and its villages, beaches, lush mangroves and lagoons – from 4×4 tours to quad and mountain biking. Water skiing and fishing are also on offer, whilst the dive centre provides an opportunity for those of all levels to experience the island’s vibrant corals and underwater life. For those looking to unwind, the jungle spa offers unique treatments inspired by African traditions including citrus baths and wild honey body scrubs.
