We Stayed in Bora Bora's Most Expensive Overwater Villa

For the next two nights, we are going to be staying in this two story presidential villa at the Conrad Bora Bora.

Oh my gosh. It cost a whopping $7,000 per night to stay here, making this not only the most expensive overwater villa in Bora Bora, but also the biggest from time to time. Having over 3 million followers on YouTube gets us into some crazy places like Sneva Yanni in the Maldives, a $10,000 penthouse in Las Vegas, and a $20,000 penthouse in New York. But still, something about this one feels different. And if it looks familiar.

My earring's gone.

We never, ever want to take opportunities like this for granted. And we know the only reason that we're here and that we've gotten to do all these other things is because of each and every one of you that subscribes and watches this channel. So it only seems appropriate before we jump in to say a huge thank you. Thank you so much for making all these incredible opportunities possible. And just like it, if any of you had the opportunity to stay here for two nights, we are going to do our best to make the most of every single second.

Good morning from the Conrad Bora Bora. We are currently in French Polynesia and I think this might be the most beautiful place on earth.

So this is actually not a residential.

Villa, but it is where we've been staying. It's called the Royal Overwater Villa and it's the second nicest room that they offer here at the resort. I'm going to quickly show you around, but we won't spend too much time here because later this afternoon we are moving in to the Presidential Villa. We've got an overwater hammock, infinity pool, tons of space and carrot caffeinating living room. The bed was decorated in a bunch of flowers and towel art when we arrived. Right behind the bed is the bathroom.

So we got to Bora Bora two days ago and just getting here was special. There are no international flights to Bora Bora, so we had to fly into the main island of Tahiti and then take a 45 minute flight here. And the views from the plane might have been the best we've ever had. Seeing this place from above is so spectacular, you really can't even appreciate it when you're on the ground. We made it. And then the airport in Tahiti is literally on the ocean. So instead of exiting the airport to a line of taxis, it was a line of boat. Then it was a short 20 minute boat ride here to the resort, which unlike Our boat ride to kalala island in Nicaragua. I literally didn't want it to end. Needless to say, it's already been a magical two days here. But it's only gonna get better. I might explode with joy.

We actually spent yesterday filming a video for the Daily Drop YouTube channel that teaches you how you can use miles and points to save over $5,000. If you want to come, stay here for a week. So after this video, be sure to that one out. But don't go anywhere yet, because we have a lot to show you.

Okay. Even though it is still raining a little bit, we have an hour before we check into the presidential villa, so we're gonna make the most of our time while we wait. And I'm gonna give you a tour of the rest of the resort, because once we get to the villa, it's gonna be really hard to get me to leave. So we're gonna start on the east side of the resort and make our way all the way west, Ending in the presidential villa, where we finally get to check in. This end of the resort is mostly villas. Majority of them are over the water, but there are also some on land. There's also the swing suite, which is an indoor golf simulator that Nate attempted earlier today.

So you may know that I am a sucker for competition, Especially if there's a really good prize and I can get something for free. At kalala island in Nicaragua, There was a kayak race to see who could get the best time going around the island.

Sore subject.

But I'm planning on redeeming myself here. They have a hole in one comp competition, and you can win five free nights at the presidential villa.

Come on, baby. I'll take that over a massage any day.

This is the green where I'll attempt my hole in one.

This is it.

And you have to hit from all the way down there. Five free nights in the presidential suite would cost $35,000, which is a pretty epic prize. So I'm guessing this is going to be really hard. Also, if we run out of water on the island, we know where to come.

We are not surviving anymore, baby. I kind of get, like, triggered when I see those.

If you have no clue what we're talking about. A few weeks ago, we did a survival challenge where we attempted to spend four days living on a deserted island in Tonga, and coconuts were our only source of water for all four of those days.

I'll give you one guess who planned that trip. And who planned this trip. I feel like oftentimes in the Comments? People are like, oh, poor Kara. Nate's always dragging her to do these crazy things. When is she gonna get to plan something? This is it.

Time to climb.

Really getting our steps in today.

Whoa.

It looks so majestic right now with the fog. I know you can't tell on a map, but we have just hiked all the way to the highest point of this island where there's a viewpoint overlooking the tallest, most iconic mountain in Bora Bora, Mount Otemanu, Maybe. Across from the viewpoint is the same spa, which I got to try out yesterday. I have a feeling this is going to be the best massage of my life. No pressure. All right, back down the mountain. So the first thing you run into coming down the hill is this beach with these nice cabanas, comfy bean bags. I feel like a lot of times at resorts like this, you have to, like, get up early, come save your seat because it fills up. You want to get a good spot, but not here, because this beach is reserved for Hilton diamond and Gold status members only, which we are. We haven't had any trouble getting a spot here.

It's nice to occasionally have these little surprise perks when you spend as much time and effort chasing hotel status as we do. Also, can I make another plug for Daily drop? Do I have your permission? Yeah, mine. In the video that we made over on that channel, I tell you how you can get diamond status with Hilton just by signing up for a credit card.

This is the biggest building on the island. It's very central. There's a lot going on in here. But the highlights include the breakfast buffet. It's delicious. And also included for free if you're a Hilton diamond member. Just saying.

Also, this is French Polynesia, and I feel like there's a heavy French influence on the pastries because the pastries are probably the most beautiful I've ever seen.

And there's a Chinese restaurant, which we ate at last night for dinner, and the dumplings were.

There's also a French restaurant in here which we're going to eat at tonight, so we'll see. Future Cara give us the verdict on the French restaurant that's actually so good. At the end of this boardwalk, we have the reception area. It's where the boat dropped us off. They also have, like, a cocktail sushi bar down there. We haven't tried it yet, so hopefully we can squeeze that in before we leave.

We're doing the Future Cara thing again. Yep.

Future Kara is very happy.

Future Cara also loves the fire throws.

Welcome to Tahiti's Second largest pool. Usually it's very awkward to film in places like this because there's lots of people, but not today. One perk of the cloud. Got the pool all to ourselves. I don't know how it gets any better than this. Behind the pool and across the bridge with the waterfall is the Beach Grill, which we went to the first night to see the Polynesian show. They had this big buffet with all these local foods. And then the show was just amazing. They were playing the drums, they were singing, and the dancers blew my mind. Like I don't know how they get their body to move the way that it does so quickly.

I've been practicing. Then this guy came out with fire and did this whole fire dance. Plus he was like a comedian, he was cracking us up.

It was unlike any fire show I've ever seen. Ouch.

Yeah, right in front of the Beach Grill. Hence the name is the main beach. Don't worry, you don't have to have any special status to come here. There's still chairs and umbrellas. They're just not as good.

She is the one. See, this is why I don't bring her to do things like this.

Just kidding. It's amazing, obviously. And they have all kinds of free activities. There are kayaks, stand up paddle boards, other skinny looking boat things. What are those?

You know what this is? It looks like it may be like a motorized surfboard with a handle. Like a less dangerous, less cool version of a flight board.

Moving on. Check INS in 15 minutes. We gotta move on quickly, quickly, quickly. There are more overwater villas to my right and then the gym and the kids club on the left we have ping pong and it's actually a really nice gym. I haven't used it, but I poked my head in there. If you like going to the gym, it's pretty good. We're getting close. We just have to go to the garden. Oh, that's it. We have the garden and then we're there. Four minutes. We timed this perfectly. Tropical garden. We have arrived. This path through the flower garden takes you directly to the presidential villa. And it's officially time to check in.

The key's on my wrist. She doesn't have a key.

Which one do you think the Kardashians stayed in? I hope we have the same one as theirs. So to clarify, there are two president residential villas, one on each side and I believe we're in this one.

It's happening.

Are you ready?

Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I can't believe we're Here.

Wow. The view from the bathroom is next level. What is that? Toilet. Okay, keep going, keep going, keep going.

I can't believe this is our house. Another bed. Can we go upstairs? Go, go.

Stop.

Did you know this was here?

No.

Wow. It's like the hobbit meets Bora Bora. For some reason, that's what this round door makes me think of. I'm just gonna let Kara have a moment because I truly do feel like she deserves this. All joking aside, I cannot believe that I found a wife who is willing to come along with me for all these crazy adventures that I planned. Most of which are pretty uncomfortable and not only comes along, but also excels.

Let me just scroll through a few of the things that we've done this year. Might as well start in January. Swimming with orcas in Norway. Freezing cold water. Camping in the freezing cold. Sleeping in an ice cave. Sleeping in an ice hotel. Going to the snowiest city in the world. Riding motorbikes across Peru. She did get to go to a private island three months ago, according to this thumbnail support crew for flight boarding the English Channel, walking across Singapore, living in the jungle with a tribe, and of course, the four day survival challenge that we just recently completed. So, yeah, I'm just gonna give her a minute to soak this in and then at some point we'll show you around.

It.

A little chillier than I thought it was gonna be this morning. The sun is doing its best to come out and I cannot believe I'm saying this, but Nate has somehow convinced me to go on an adventure and leave this villa. But I promise we're coming back and I'm going to give you a tour of our home. Check this out. This is my view. No one is around. Just keep seeing little fishies swim by. Perfection.

These epic animal encounters that we've been getting to have this year have turned into one of my favorite parts of. Of travel. It's just different than going to see a building or a landscape of something that you can see a picture of online. And then when you get there, it's going to look exactly the same. With animals, you never know what you're going to get. And I think I love that mystery. Today's fish that we're going to swim with hopefully is not only one of the biggest fish in the sea, but is also at the very top of my marine bucket list. And we've never done this before.

It.

I think that was worth it. I'm sure filming from the top down, the camera did it no justice. But it was pretty incredible to be in the water with those majestic creatures. Here in Bora Bora you aren't allowed to die down to their level. And that was just killing me inside. It would have been so incredible to be able to swim down with them cuz they're just swimming in circles and they look super playful and curious. They can't even keep up with cars just pedaling back so fast.

Oh, I can kind of feel the sun a little bit. Finally.

Ah.

I never would have thought that a warm jacuzzi tub would be my favorite feature of the presidential villa.

Tell me about it.

Not that warm.

I can't believe this is our life.

Just swimming with mantas coming back and getting in the jacuzzi on the second story. Are there bubbles?

That's what I'm talking about. What have we been doing?

Bubbles.

Wow. Okay, this is the light that looks a lot less like a bathtub.

It is finally time for me to give you a tour of the presidential villa. Our island host confirmed with us that this is the largest overwater villa in all of Bora Bora. And I'm pretty sure it's the only two story over water villa as well. So we'll start with the first level. We have the main area and two bedrooms on either side. We have this nice big couch, a desk in the corner which we believe is, or not have worked a little bit since we've been here. Dining room table, the most beautiful photography, decorating this wall, the most important part of any accommodation in my opinion. Coffee maker, kettle and minibar which we haven't touched. Does anyone actually use the minibar comment below if you're a mini bar consumer? Oops. Meant to put these away. We were doing some tin tin slams earlier.

Oh, the best one. Yeah.

Okay. And that brings us to. To bedroom number one. There are three total bedrooms in this villa. They're all amazing. This one kind of feels like the kids room because it's two double beds. So if you have a family. My diamond earring came off in the ocean and it's gone. Kim. There's people that are dying. I'm a tiny bit embarrassed to admit that I did keep up with the Kardashians back in the day. And the whole Kardashian Jenner clan stayed in this villa. There's a whole episode on it. I knew that they had gone to a tropical paradise. I didn't know which one. And then I connected the dots when we got here that actually stayed in this one and now I'm here. Which kind of Blows my mind. We're have to watch that episode later.

Great. One more notable person who they told us had stayed here was Paris Hilton. And I am a little embarrassed to admit that I never connected the dots. That Paris Hilton is actually connected to the Hilton family that owns Hilton hotels. And that's where a lot of our money came from, I guess. And the Conrad is a Hilton hotel.

Moving on. This is probably the most unique feature of this bedroom. It kind of looks like a big weird dresser right in front of the bed, but it's actually boop. So you just use the remote to lift it up and if you hit another button, it turns around to face the outside. So if you want to watch a movie while you're lying in your lounge chair, go for it. Relax and get a tan at the same time. Each bedroom has its own gigantic bathroom. It is so beautiful in here. Even from the toilet you have a view like who closes the door? Hi, kayakers. Don't mind us. The shower is also huge and beautiful with a waterfall. We have two different sinks and best of all, these amazing windows so you can just see a view almost 180 degrees. Can't be beat. The robes are the soft kind, which I love. And I don't think there's a more picturesque tub. I mean, look at it. It's so welcoming. Okay, bedroom number two is all the way over here. Follow me. This is the bedroom that we've chosen to stay in for a few reasons, which I'll get to. But first, let's just admire this beautiful towel art. Our housekeepers are the absolute best. She even left me a note today saying that the rain shouldn't stop me from having fun. How did she know? One reason I love this room is because it just looks the most romantic. We have these really high ceilings because there's no deck on this side of the villa. And this beautiful curtain. Probably my favorite small detail at this resort is that each day we get an incense menu. We pick which scent that we want and when they come to turn down service, they bring it. And then when you come inside, it just smells like you're in a spa or Spencer's. Another reason we chose this room is the closet. It's nice and big. All of our stuff fits in there. And it's all just.

I probably shouldn't be showing you this, but it is nice that it's hidden away.

It's just contained. Our bathroom is identical to the other one, except for we do have a full length mirror, which is another reason we liked it. Here. And it feels a little more private. There's not a villa outside of one of these windows, so less people to see you bathing or peeing with the door open. Does that do it for level one?

Hi ho, hi ho. It's a. The stairs we go. So when we checked in, they told us that this was the primary bedroom, and I can see why. It's definitely the biggest. You have the most space. You have your own private balcony. It kind of feels like this would be the parents room. The kids stay downstairs. You have a lot of privacy. But I don't know, the bathroom and the closet, they're just not as good. Feels a bit dark in here. So we chose downstairs. But without a doubt, the thing that surprised me most about this villa is that there is a sauna in the bedroom. Whoops. How crazy is this? We turned it on this morning when I was freezing and it's still hot and it's got the whole shebang.

And now if you'll follow me through the hobbit hole to the upper deck with the heaviest door of all time. We have heaps of space out here, as you can see. Outdoor sitting area, a covered seated area in case, I don't know, it rains the whole time we're here. There is a hot tub that we put to use earlier. And last but not least, we have a bar table. And now we'll go back downstairs to our gigantic lower deck. Lots of room for activities down here. Our pool is probably twice as big as the one we had at the Royal Villa. And of course, tons of seating options. Oh, my gosh.

A spot of eagle ray right under our deck.

I was literally just coming down here to say that. It goes without saying, the snorkeling here is unbelievably good. We're literally just right on top of a coral reef and the water is crystal clear. Before the words even came out of my mouth, a spotted eagle ray just swam by our villa. Like we planned it. It was so graceful and beautiful. Spotted.

We also had some people on the tour today tell us that they've been seeing a black tip reef shark swim around the villa. There is tons of marine life and tons of beautiful fish swimming around right underneath us. And I think the coral underneath the Presidential villa is the best in the whole resort.

We're not just saying that like they.

Built it here on purpose or something.

It actually looks even bigger from down here.

Oh, my gosh, it does. This is no doubt the best angle. This is the best day ever.

I think my mustache makes my Goggles leak. There's one more reason to shave it. Comment down below if you'd like that to happen. Kara's underwater. She can't hear me.

Well, we didn't find the spotted eagle ray, but that has to be the clearest water I've ever swam in. And we did see the black tip reef shark.

It was huge.

Thank you. Bye. Bye.

Thank you so much.

I don't know how it gets any better than this. Truffle fries. With this view and the sunshine, I've never been so happy to sweat and put sunscreen all over my body. It's sunny. Best day ever. This moment cannot be beat.

We got a veggie burger that we didn't know came with french fries, and we also didn't know came with rolls. And we ordered ordered an extra plate of french fries. Thankfully, they threw in a tiny salad to make us feel a little healthier. Oh, that pillow is so hot.

I know. Isn't it great?

This is amazing.

Wow.

It was so good all in. And next time I'm doing something that's hard and terrible, I'm just gonna remember how great this exact moment was. Our next adventure is not gonna be easy. It's probably good that I'm carb loading. Honestly.

Goodbye, presidential.

So sad.

It's fitting weather to be leaving.

Well, I had to say goodbye to our villa, but we're not leaving Bora Bora.

Quite all right. If by some miracle I'm able to hit a hole in one, I can win. Kara, five free nights here. We've only gotten two hours of sunshine since we've been here, so I feel like she deserves it. I was on the golf team in high school, but it's been a few years.

I'm feeling lucky. Right, Nate? Visualize success. Look.

Oh, we caught him.

He's trying to sabotage us. How you feeling, Mike?

You should enjoy your last few minutes here. I think my chances are slim if I'm being honest, but I've got to try.

You got this. My heart's beating so fast.

Your heart's beating fast.

So this is actually something that the resort offers to anyone, which is pretty cool. Has anyone ever won before? No. No, never been done.

It looks so far. Also, if you think working against me, I'm pretty much hitting out of a sand trap. And these aren't real golf balls. These are like fish food in case I hit it in the water. I'm going to channel my inner high school self, who spent every day on the driving range.

Watch out, everybody.

You got this, Nate.

Oh, that actually wasn't too bad. That's going towards the hole.

Oh, you were so close.

Actually, kind of close.

It was so close.

Okay, I've got two more.

I mean, I wasn't kidding when I said I believed in him, but that was way closer than I was expecting the first try to be. All right, you gonna do anything differently?

No, same thing. And hope I get lucky.

Ah, the wind really picked up before that swing.

This is, like, bigger than the 18th hole at the master. That's all I'm saying. The pressure that's on me right now.

Well, it was a once in a lifetime.

That one was fish food.

I hope you enjoyed your once in a lifetime stay in the presidential villa.

Goodbye, guys. Thank you for everything.

Oh, I'm gonna miss him. Stephanie, you are amazing.

The weather matches my mood both ways. On the way in, it was cheery and bright. On the way out, it's sad and gray.

Okay, now that this video is over, don't forget to watch the other video that we made on the Daily Drop channel to learn how you. You save thousands of dollars if you come stay here, and I'll use the same strategy to bring Cara back.

Into the Hobbit hole.

My precious. My precious.

Ow. Ow. Who is that sexy caddy?

Do you know what a caddy is?

The people in the golf carts kind of the gap between us and the younger generation. I feel like we've just skyrocketed. Like, I feel like for a long time, I still felt like I was, like, in my 20s, and then it was just all of a sudden, the gap was just like, you are not the same.

It felt like when we were doing this traveling stuff at the beginning, that we were the young kids, like, getting to experience all of this. And now it just feels like we're the right age for somebody that should be coming to Bora Bora and spending a lot of money on an overwater villa.

Like, when did it happen? I feel like this hole is quite big enough.

Yeah, Widen the hole for me. Future care has lived more life. She's wiser.

Feel it on your skin.

Does looking into the sun make anyone else see?

That's not too bad. This is my closest golf ball, and the hole is 1, 2, 3, 4 steps away. I think it was a respectable effort.
