Caring for Nature & Culture
French Polynesia, and Bora Bora in particular, is a place of dazzling natural beauty and awe-inspiring environments. It’s for this reason that we welcome guests to participate in conservation programs. Safeguarding this spectacular diversity is a core tenant of our sustainability mission.
Corals
InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa is actively engaged in coral restoration and transplantation. Our Biorock project is centered around coral cuttings, a time-tested route to coral replenishment. By growing the cuttings on artificial supports and passing a small electric current through electrodes in the water, the corals grow rapidly and can later be transplanted back on the reef.
In partnership with Espace Bleu, marine biologists offer coral cutting workshops for propagation in our lagoonarium. This activity is free of charge, offered every Wednesday morning for any volunteer guests.
Marine diversity
Our on-site Lagoonairum helps protect local marine species while providing educational opportunities for guests to learn about French Polynesia’s impressive ocean biodiversity.
We have also been awarded the “Pavillon Bleu” label, which certifies the high quality of our lagoon bathing waters.
Organic garden
We have created and implemented a certified organic garden with the Bio Pasifika label to produce some of the fruit, vegetables and herbs served in our restaurants.
Beehives will be installed very soon for pollination and local honey production
To visit these places and many more, we host a free Green Tour every Friday morning for guests to discover our facilities and CSR initiatives for sustainable development.
Botanical Trail
A vibrant botanical and wildlife trail is marked throughout the resort, allowing guests to learn about native flora and fauna.
Clean-up Campaigns
Our staff regularly participates in island clean-up campaigns.
