Four Seasons Bora Bora: Teens chill out at Chill Island, a South Pacific paradise

To combat the “I’m bored,” syndrome that often strikes young travelers, Four Seasons Bora Bora has devoted an area of the French Polynesian resort to teens’ trip survival: Chill Island.

The facility has its own private beach, an indoor-outdoor lounge, Internet cafe and special activities such as al fresco nightclub dancing and snorkeling with the resort’s marine biologist. For the holidays, it will offer special programs: a movie night on the beach, a teen tapas dinner, and a party where teens can boogie in a sea of bubbles.

The Four Seasons, a newcomer to Bora Bora that is away from the main tourist region on Motu Tehotu, includes over-water suites and beachfront villas with pools.

Besides snorkeling, activities include kite-surfing across the lagoon and getting to know some of the island’s most treasured residents: sea turtles. Room rates start about $900 per night for an over-water suite, but specials are available.
