Unfortunately, InterContinental Bora Bora doesn’t offer any all inclusive packages. This means you will have to pay for food and drinks yourself on top of the nightly rate.

Does Bora Bora Have All Inclusive Resorts?
There are no official all inclusive resorts in Bora Bora.
Typically, all inclusive resorts include a room, 3 daily meals, soft drinks, most alcoholic drinks and sometimes other services/activities.
Unfortunately, Bora Bora doesn’t have these types of resorts.
In Bora Bora, the nightly price you pay usually only includes your accommodation cost. You will then have to pay for your meals and activities on top of the nightly fee.
Taking everything into account, InterContinental Bora Bora & Thalasso Spa is definitely one of the best resorts in Bora Bora.
Although it is super expensive, it’s also one of the most luxurious resorts in Bora Bora and includes a huge range of fantastic amenities.
This includes the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stay in an overwater villa in one of the world’s most exclusive settings with a crystal clear lagoon right on your doorstep (literally!).
You can even jump straight into the ocean from the villa and swim with fish!
At the end of the day, that’s what you’re paying for and for many people, it’s totally worth it!
