Book the Conrad Bora Bora with wide-open award space in early 2023
Bora Bora is a place many travel enthusiasts long to visit, but while it can be a great value on points and miles, it's one of the tougher destinations for availability.
Flights to the islands are limited, as are points-friendly hotels. That said, there are a few options on the island, like the Conrad Bora Bora Nui.
Reasonably priced award space is often tough to come by at this property, but right now, you'll find wide-open standard award space for early next year. The bulk of it is available between late February and April 2023, as first noted by View from The Wing.

Of course, you'll pay a premium to book this property.
Standard Room Reward nights, when they are available, now cost a whopping 120,000 Hilton Honors points per night. Thanks to Hilton's fifth-night free benefit, which you have available to you if you have any level of Hilton elite status, you can reduce this price slightly when you book award stays of five nights or more.
You'll then pay as low as 96,000 Hilton Honors points per night on a five-night stay when you factor in this benefit. Alternatively, you can use a Hilton free-night certificate to book this property on any night that Standard Room Rewards are available.
Paid room rates top out at $828.05 next March when you factor in the service charge, so you'll get a whopping 0.86 cents per Hilton point in value. This is well above TPG's Hilton Honors valuation of 0.6 cents per point.

Bottom line
The Conrad Bora Bora is a bucket list property for many points and miles enthusiasts, and for good reason.
If you've been itching to cash your Hilton points in for a stay, now is the time. There are many dates available in early 2023, with award space available for stays of five nights or more. This means you can even leverage the fifth award night free if you have Hilton elite status.
