Le Meridien Bora Bora Adds More-a More-a Villas

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: Motu Tape Bp 190, Bora Bora, French Polynesia, BP190

Killer View fetishists, get excited: Le Meridien Bora Bora is getting itself a makeover. We've gushed about Bora Bora views before — Intercontinental Bora Bora took home the title of the Best Killer View of 2008 and over at the Le Meridien, you can glimpse the Otemanu Mountain in the distance. Now the Le Meridien folks want to make sure that the view of the inside can stand up to the view from the inside.

The renos have been underway since the beginning of the year, and all 99 of the resort's accommodations have already been equipped with new flat-screen TVs, video on demand, and WiFi. A second infinity pool is being added, a new fitness center is on the way — and so is a new glass-bottom chapel (perched atop the interior lagoon) for couples to participate in a traditional Polynesian ceremony. Unfortunately (or fortunately, maybe), weddings here will have no legal value in the States — but the whole getting-married-in-a-glass-bottomed-chapel thing will still be a cool way to "renew" vows or faux-elope.

Le Meridien Bora Bora Hatches Some New Baby Turtles

In our interview with Le Meridien Bora Bora's Sales and Marketing Director, Nicolas Orget, he was very enthusiastic about the hotel's Turtle Sanctuary which helps baby turtles mature away from harm.

And some good news: this past weekend 59 baby green sea turtles were born at the resort.

The turtles weigh less than 1 oz and are about 2 inches in length. These eggs were actually brought to the Turtle Sanctuary by poachers and the Sanctuary's caretaker made a nest for them at the resort. The baby turtles will stay in the nursery for one year and in the resort's interior lagoon until they are 2 or 3 years old.

Awwww....
