Beach Club Day Bed Prices
in Bora Bora
The honest read on a beach that has almost no daybed scene.
The verdict
- Typical costBora Bora has almost no traditional daybed beach club scene, so there is little to price. The public sand at Matira is free, and resort beaches are for guests. We hold any figure as to be confirmed.
- Best value pickMatira Beach itself, the island's best public sand and open to all, with the casual Bora Bora Beach Club restaurant and Bloody Mary's nearby for food and drink.
- One thing to knowThe luxury lies in the resorts on their private islets, where sunbeds come with the room. Day access for non guests is limited and never guaranteed.

It is worth being honest at the top, because Bora Bora does not work like the Mediterranean. There is no strip of daybed beach clubs here, no row of sunbed rates to compare, because the island's beach life runs on two very different tracks. One is the free public sand at Matira Beach, open to everyone and a genuine bargain on an otherwise very expensive island. The other is the luxury resorts, which sit on their own private islets around the lagoon with beaches, pools and bars reserved largely for their guests.
So a page about day bed prices in Bora Bora is really a page about where the beach experience actually is, and what it costs. On the public side you pay nothing for the sand and a premium for the lagoonfront restaurants and bars near Matira. On the resort side the sunbed comes with the room, and day access for non guests is limited, changeable and never guaranteed. Rather than invent numbers for a scene that does not exist, we list the real venues below, mark every figure to be confirmed, and let you book the day that fits.
Where the beach life is, and what it costs
Real, established venues on the public Matira Beach, plus the honest note on resort beaches. Resort access and any day pass are to be confirmed. See the full Bora Bora beach club directory for the setting of each.
| Venue | Setting | Sunbed or daybed | Access or minimum | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bora Bora Beach Club | Matira Beach | To be confirmed | Open to all | A lagoonfront spot right on the public Matira sand, serving cocktails, wood fired pizzas, French Polynesian dishes and seafood with feet near the water. The relaxed, welcoming pick for a casual beach day, and the cost is in the food and drink rather than a bed. |
| Bloody Mary's | Near Matira Beach | To be confirmed | Open to all | The island's most famous casual restaurant and bar, a short walk from Matira, known for its rustic energy, sand floors and the day's catch displayed on ice to choose from. The choice for a sociable lunch or dinner rather than a daybed. |
| Luxury resort beaches | Private motu | To be confirmed | Guest or day pass, to be confirmed | The big resorts sit on their own islets with private beaches, pools and bars reserved largely for guests, with some offering a day package or a restaurant booking. Access for non guests is limited and changeable, so confirm directly before you plan around it. |
Why there is little to price
The reason there is no daybed price list for Bora Bora is the shape of the island itself. The best beach, Matira, is free public sand, so there is no bed to hire and no minimum to meet, just the premium you pay at the lagoonfront restaurants for a table by the water. That makes a beach day here surprisingly cheap at its core, and expensive only when you add the food, the drinks and the boat tours that make up the day.
The luxury, and the real spend, sits inside the resorts. Their beaches and overwater bungalows are the postcard, and their sunbeds come bundled into the nightly rate rather than sold by the day. Some resorts may offer a day pass or a restaurant reservation that lets non guests sample the setting, but this varies by property and season and is never guaranteed, so we mark it to be confirmed. Ask the resort directly, and treat any access as a bonus rather than a plan.
Plan the day before you go
The honest way to plan a beach day in Bora Bora is to know what you want first. For free sand and a casual lagoonfront lunch, head to Matira and the venues around it, no booking needed for the beach. For a resort setting as a non guest, or a lagoon tour, ask ahead, because access is limited. Pick from the Bora Bora beach club directory, then send your dates and party size and we confirm what is open and what it really costs.

Before you go
Does Bora Bora have beach clubs with day beds?
Not in the way the Mediterranean does. Bora Bora has almost no traditional daybed beach club scene, because the beach life here is either on the free public Matira Beach or inside the luxury resorts that occupy their own private islets. So instead of hiring a bed at a club, you either lay a towel on Matira or you are a resort guest with a sunbed included. We mark any figure to be confirmed.
How much does a day at the beach cost in Bora Bora?
The beach itself can cost nothing, because Matira Beach is free public sand open to all, which is a rare bargain on an otherwise very expensive island. The cost comes from the lagoonfront restaurants and bars near Matira, from resort day access where it is offered, and from lagoon tours by boat. Bring a towel to Matira and the sand is free, while everything with a roof and a waiter is premium.
Can you visit a Bora Bora resort beach for the day?
Some of the luxury resorts on the private motu sit on their own beaches and pools reserved largely for guests, and a few may offer a day package or a restaurant booking that gives non guests a taste of the setting. Availability and any day pass change constantly and are not guaranteed, so we mark them to be confirmed and suggest you ask the resort directly before you plan around one.
Where is the beach life in Bora Bora if there are no beach clubs?
It centres on Matira Beach, the island's best public beach, and the casual lagoonfront spots around it such as the Bora Bora Beach Club restaurant and the famous Bloody Mary's nearby. These are places to eat, drink and swim rather than daybed clubs, and they are where visitors and locals gather. Beyond that, the beach experience is the resort beaches and the lagoon itself by boat.
How do I book a beach day or a venue in Bora Bora?
Tell us your dates, party size and the kind of day you want through the form on this page and we pass the enquiry on to confirm what is open, from a lagoonfront table near Matira to a resort day option where one exists. Because the scene is small and resort access varies, we confirm the real detail rather than print a price, and some bookings may earn us a commission at no cost to you.
