Whether you refer to them as overwater bungalows or water villas, these hotel suites on stilts in the ocean are a dream accommodation for honeymooners and romantic couples everywhere. We are the world's first and only complete guide to all of these places around the world, and we've been doing this since 2011.
People always ask which are the absolute best overwater villa resorts in the world and we usually say that it depends on where you are coming from and where you want to go. Of the more than 200 such resorts, over half of them are in the Maldives (just south of India), but there are dozens in Bora Bora and elsewhere in French Polynesia, as well as in Central America and the tropics of Asia.
Below you'll find all of the best overwater bungalow resorts, including the best in each of the popular regions.
Do you have to have a passport?
Yes, if you arrive from another country you’ll need a passport to enter Jamaica, even if you are a Jamaican citizen. You don’t need a passport to enter Puerto Rico if you are American, but unfortunately there are no overwater bungalows there. Sorry. -Roger
Can Any one provide me with construction company’s contact or number
GTM,
You’d be better off contacting a resort directly. We are simply an online guide to resorts. -Roger
I need to now dates in march 2017 to a honeymoon.
14 to 18.
do you have a fone to contact?
Rute,
You’ll want to contact Sandals about this. They have a phone number on their website. -Roger
Yes they are being constructed, I have a friend who is working on the environmental side of the project and I have seen pictures of them under construction, can’t give a finish date though.
Dianne,
It turns out they just announced that they plan to offer them as of November 15, 2016, which is great news. Thanks for the update. -Roger
are they ready yet?
Shadi,
We haven’t heard anything new, unfortunately. I was even in Montego Bay last summer and heard nothing. These Caribbean overwater bungalows never seem to get going, although the ones in the Riviera Maya area will open on September 1, 2016. -Roger
