One of TPG's favorite Hilton properties in the world has some incredible award night availability this summer and early fall. Move fast to make the best use of your Hilton Honors points stash.
The Conrad Bora Bora Nui has standard award night availability largely through the end of September as well as on select nights at the end of October, Upgraded Points first reported. The 120,000-point nightly rates are a great deal for enjoying a getaway at one of the most luxurious properties in French Polynesia.
The resort is a favorite among travelers and Hilton Honors enthusiasts for its mix of suites and overwater villas, luxe spa, and incredible waterfront views.
Standard award night redemptions are for King Lagoon View Suite stays, while Conrad Bora Bora's overwater villas clock in at higher redemption rates, around 700,000 Hilton Honors points per night and higher.
Don't forget to make it a longer getaway to get the most out of your points: Hilton Honors elite members get a fifth night free when booking a standard award stay of at least five consecutive nights. If you're going to go to all the trouble of flying to Bora Bora, you may as well enjoy a few extra nights, right?
It's also a great way to redeem any bonus points or free night certificates you have from a Hilton-cobranded American Express credit card (but keep in mind you can't combine these free night certificates with the fifth-night-free perk of elite status).
If the Conrad Bora Bora Nui has been on your dream trip radar, move fast on these incredible award redemptions.
