About this property

Maeva Hoa - Bora Bora Luxury Lagoon View Mountainside Bungalow

We call our home "Maeva Hoa" (mah-ay-vah ho-ah), Tahitian for "Welcome Friend." A 5 star luxury mountainside bungalow with an amazing lagoon view, our newly remodeled dream home sleeps six and is the only one of its kind on Bora Bora. Part of the famed Marlon Brando bungalows, our home is located in the quiet town of Faanui. We are approximately 15 minutes by car from Vaitape, Bora Bora's "main" downtown. We left nothing to spare when remodeling and furnishing this beautiful bungalow home. Our home is fully air conditioned, which is very rare for a private residence on the island. We have wifi as well as a land line which will allow you to make local calls to book activities, dinners, etc. Whether you're relaxing indoors watching Netflix or air playing from your Apple device to one of our three smart TVs, dining on our spacious lagoon view outdoor terrace, or enjoying the private beach, you will have both the comforts of home and those of a 5 star hotel. We are sure that a stay in our home will provide you with fantastic memories that will last a lifetime.

Bora Bora bungalow
The property is amazing as is the location. The single main floor bathroom may be inconvenient for two couples but worked great for us. A bbq would be handy but the outdoor balcony is devine and the view spectacular! Highly recommend this property.

Luxueuse villa
La villa est formidable. La vue sur le lagon est spectaculaire. On voit au loin l'aéroport de Bora, mais ce n'est pas du tout dérangeant. Idéal pour se reposer, la villa est vraiment très confortable et propre, la literie est parfaite, on y dort très bien, la cuisine très bien équipée. Catherine nous a accueilli très gentiment, super sympathique. Il faut savoir que la villa est passablement loin de la plage de Matira et des restaurants. Une voiture facilitera les déplacements.

A thoughtfully-appointed, luxurious home-away-from-home
We feel so lucky to have found the listing for this Bora Bora bungalow. It is a gem. The owners have put a lot of care and hard work into creating a (luxurious) home-away-from home environment for Maeva Hoa guests. I doubt there are many, if any, homes as nice as this one on the main island. We loved staying on the main island (where locals live) and the authentic experience it allowed. (Staying at a resort on a motu would be beautiful but isolating.) Maeva Hoa, located on a quieter part of the island and a 15-30 minute drive from the island hubs of Vaitape and Matira, does require renting a car, but we loved having the independence to explore the island on our own. The views from both inside and outside the bungalow are beautiful; we logged countless hours hanging out on the balcony overlooking the lagoon and also appreciated having the same stunning views from inside the air conditioned unit. Communication with the owners before and during our stay was seamless, and they were full of ideas and tips to guide our planning. Their on-island representatives were very helpful, as well; they met us upon arrival on the island to escort us to Maeva Hoa and were easy to reach throughout our stay when we had questions or needed recommendations. If we are lucky enough to return to Bora Bora, we would want to stay at Maeva Hoa again. We now know that we would only need only to pack a swim suit and a few items of clothing, as the owners have thoughtfully provided everything else!

Splendid Bungalow
Incredible ocean views from the large balcony where one can sit outside for coffee, drinks or meals. Beautiful interior - lustrous wood floors and carvings, completely modern equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. This is an exceptional home from which to enjoy Bora Bora. The owner and property manager are extremely kind.

Wonderful Experience
This property is just as advertised, beautiful view, new remodeled interior, fresh and clean and in a nice quiet area of the island. The bedding was comfortable, and our family members (4 adults) slept well. Separate air conditioning units were in every room and worked fine. Ariane, the property assistant, was very kind and helpful. The property owner was a pleasure to work with and was helpful in answering all of my questions about the property. We were granted a late check out by the owner, which was great, since our flight out of Bora Bora didn't leave until almost 7 pm. We had a problem with the electric stove on our last day. It turned out that the solution was to power off the stove at the circuit breaker, then turn back on. It was a small inconvenience. I enjoyed hanging out on the outdoor terrace, but I had to watch out for the occasional wasp. One of those buggers made its way into the home through the sliding glass door. Things didn't work out well for the wasp. If a prospective guest has a hard time walking up stairs and such, this property may not be for them. We had to park our rental car down on the road and had a bit of a steep walk up the drive and stairs to the vacation rental. It wasn't a problem for us, but it could be for someone who has some mobility issues. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Bora Bora. We wish we could have stayed longer. If we ever make it back to that island, we would love to stay at this beautiful vacation rental again.
