SUSTAINABILITY

Our mission

InterContinental Hotels & Resorts is the leading chain of luxury hotels in French Polynesia, and one of the first to move into the archipelago. Our resorts were able to secure the most beautiful spots in the Society Islands, where our three establishments can be found, and for which we strive to develop sustainable actions wherever and whenever possible.

  • In keeping with the vision of our parent company, Pacific Beachcomber S. C., our mission is to provide exemplary, authentic, and enriching travel experiences for our guests that are environmentally sensitive, sustainable, and that celebrate Polynesian cultural heritage.
  • We believe in the power of travel to make the world a better place, protecting our natural and cultural heritage for future generations through exploration, discovery, education and conservation.

WE CARE

At the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort and Thalasso Spa, the island’s relaxed sense of place and tranquility, difficult to find in today’s increasingly hectic world, allows our guests the opportunity to recharge and leave inspired. It is both our honor and responsibility to foster a culture of caring for Bora Bora and its people while extending a warm welcome and authentic island hospitality to our visitors.

Caring for the Environment

Guided by an unwavering commitment to protect the precious island ecosystems where we operate, InterContinental French Polynesia is dedicated to continuously improving sustainable operations by adopting and spreading environmental best practices.

Caring for Nature & Culture

Polynesia has inspired generations of travelers, from artist Paul Gauguin to explorer James Cook, which is why we integrate rich cultural experiences into the resort’s daily life, welcoming guests to participate in our conservation programs. Safeguarding French Polynesia’s vibrant cultural heritage and spectacular natural diversity is central to InterContinental French Polynesia sustainability mission
