SUSTAINABILITY

Our mission

InterContinental Hotels & Resorts is the leading chain of luxury hotels in French Polynesia, and one of the first to move into the archipelago. We were able to secure the most beautiful spots in the Society Islands, where our three establishments can be found, and for which we strive to develop sustainable actions wherever and whenever possible.

  • In keeping with the vision of our parent company, Pacific Beachcomber S. C., our mission is to provide exemplary, authentic, and enriching travel experiences for our guests that are environmentally sensitive, sustainable, and that celebrate Polynesian cultural heritage.
  • We believe in the power of travel to make the world a better place, protecting our natural and cultural heritage for future generations through exploration, discovery, education and conservation.

WE CARE

Why We Care:
At the InterContinental Bora Bora Le Moana Resort, we celebrate a relaxed sense of place and tranquility that is so difficult to find in today’s increasingly hectic world. This allows our guests the opportunity to recharge and be inspired by their stay. Fostering a culture of caring for Bora Bora and its people is both our honor and responsibility, and we strive to extend a warm welcome and authentic island hospitality to our visitors.

We are proud to unveil our new CSR brand identity: We Care.

We Care brings together all the commitments and values we uphold throughout the year: 

Our logo features a coral branch and a tropical monstera leaf, which come together to form a heart, to showcase our initiatives to protect nature and the ocean, two elements deeply rooted in Polynesian culture. The symbol emits the warmth of the Polynesian people, beating for their fenua. The heart is also a symbol that we care about the well-being of our staff and the local community.

A single message: Protection, respect and commitment
