Book the Conrad Bora Bora with wide-open award space in early 2024
Editors note: This post was updated with new information.
Bora Bora is a place many travel enthusiasts long to visit. It can be a great value on points and miles, but it can be difficult to find availability here.
Flights to the islands are limited, as are points-friendly hotels. That said, the island has a few options, including 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 availability falls between January and March 2024, as first noted by Loyalty Lobby.
Of course, you'll pay a premium to book this property.
Standard room reward nights, when available, now cost a whopping 120,000 Hilton Honors points per night.
Thanks to Hilton's fifth-night free benefit — 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 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 any night 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.
Here's a look at award space for January 2024:
Book a one-night stay for a standard room in February for as low as 120,000.
Nicer rooms will set you back a lot more Hilton Honors points.
Here's award space for March 2024:

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 2024, with award space available.
You may even be able to leverage the fifth award night free if you have Hilton elite status, but you'll need to act fast.
