Villa Aquamaris – Luxury Private Residence in Bora Bora
Villa Aquamaris is an extraordinary private estate located on Motu Roa in Bora Bora, French Polynesia, set between the calm turquoise lagoon and the open Pacific Ocean. The villa takes its name from aqua maris (“sea water”), and its design revolves around constant interaction with the surrounding water and landscape, embracing panoramic views of the iconic Mount Otemanu and lush tropical nature.
The architectural concept fuses tropical influences with refined contemporary design. Extensive wooden finishes and a timber roof reinterpret traditional island aesthetics in a bold and original style. The layout comprises expansive living spaces, patios, and pathways that create fluid indoor–outdoor connections across the estate. A private lagoon, boat access, and expansive recreation areas enhance the immersive experience of luxury island living.
Villa Aquamaris offers exceptional luxury at every scale — from breathtaking lagoon views through generous openings to spaces thoughtfully oriented toward nature’s beauty. The environment integrates water elements throughout, reinforcing the project’s focus on calm, openness, and connection to the surrounding sea.
