The Saint James experience

About Saint James

Lagoon side restaurant in Bora Bora

Saint James restaurant bar Bora Bora lagoon terrace

The meeting place for epicureans

Saint James is a place shaped by its setting, its cuisine and the people who bring it to life every day. Set beside the lagoon near Vaitape, it combines the spirit of Bora Bora with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

In the kitchen, French inspiration meets Polynesian flavors, with particular attention paid to fresh ingredients and local sourcing whenever possible. The same philosophy continues at the bar, where cocktails, tapas and a carefully selected wine cellar invite guests to enjoy the moment at their own pace.

More than a restaurant, Saint James is a place to meet, share and slow down — from breakfast in the morning to dinner by the lagoon, or simply a drink as the light changes at the end of the day.

Our team is committed to offering a warm, attentive and genuine experience, so that every visit feels naturally connected to the rhythm of Bora Bora.
