\"We are thrilled to receive this prestigious award which recognizes our environmental efforts at the resort,\" said Stephane Massarini, General Manager, InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa. \"We are truly honored and look forward to providing our guests with an extraordinary stay at our property.\" <\/p>\n
InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa was the first resort in the world to implement Sea-Water Air-Conditioning (SWAC) technology, using deep seawater for all the cooling requirements of the resort. SWAC is clean, quiet, maintenance-free, and a fully renewable non-fossil source of environmentally friendly energy that results in electricity savings of more than 90 percent for the resort in comparison to conventional cooling methods. The resort also utilizes InterContinental Hotel Group's (IHG) Green Engage system, an innovative online environmental sustainability system that allows the resort to measure and manage its impact on the environment. <\/p>\n
The InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa is located on a virgin beach on Motu Piti Aau with breathtaking views of Bora Bora's majestic Mount Otemanu, and offers luxurious overwater villas. This year, the resort will see the addition of four, new two-bedroom overwater villa suites along with the addition of private infinity pools to 10 existing one-bedroom overwater villas. The resort's Deep Ocean Spa by Algotherm is the first spa to utilize the benefits of deep-sea water and minerals extracted from the Pacific Ocean in its signature spa treatments. And, two of the finest culinary experiences in French Polynesia are offered at its restaurants Reef and Le Corail. The resort also features the first overwater wedding chapel in French Polynesia with a glass bottom floor with views into the lagoon below. <\/p>\n
