In the middle of the South Pacific Ocean, Northwest of Tahiti, lies Bora Bora, a bucket list destination for many couples seeking the ultimate romantic getaway. Beyoncé and Jay-Z flew to this paradise island for their babymoon. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban honeymooned here. So did Paris Hilton and Carter Reum. A destination that lures A-list celebrities must cost a fortune, right? Yes and no. A holiday in Bora Bora is expensive, but it will not cost you a limb to vacation here. Let’s look at the average cost of honeymoon in Bora Bora.

How much do couples spend in Bora Bora?

The average cost of honeymoon in Bora Bora is around $5,800 to $7,000.

This amount can vary depending on where you come from, as flight prices make up a large part of your budget. If you plan to splurge on a 5-night stay in an overwater bungalow or a private beach villa, fancy dinners, and private tours, expect to shell out $26,000 and up.

But if you’re on a tight budget, you can cut your expenses by booking a standard room in a beachfront hotel or renting a condo. Go for casual restaurants, or better yet, prepare your own food. Instead of private activities, join group tours. These will reduce your costs to $6,000 for mid-range and $2,500 for an affordable vacation.
