Heavily portrayed in movies, music videos and used as backdrops for many famous novels, the South Pacific is a dream come true for most vacation seekers. It used to be that only honeymooners and other romantic couples sought out this island paradise, but nowadays more and more families are choosing the South Pacific for their next vacation.

Even so, there are still quite a lot of overwater resorts that choose not to cater to families, especially those traveling with 2 kids. Luckily, there are a few resorts that have rebelled against the rest and happily invite families with children to stay in their overwater rooms. These resorts are spread out across the South Pacific and can be found on Bora Bora and Moorea.

4 people in 1 overwater bungalow

Generally speaking, most overwater resorts cater to 3 or less travelers per  overwater room. This sometimes means that families with 2 children in tow either have to book a beach villa instead or change their resort choice altogether. Luckily, there are a few overwater resorts within the South Pacific that do allow for 4 people to stay in one overwater bungalow. These rooms usually come with a king size bed and either another smaller bed or the option of adding a second bed. These villas also range in price and amenities, making it easier to find which one is best for your vacation style.

 

Excitedly, there are two overwater resorts in Bora Bora that have suites with 2 bedrooms, so you may have more options than you think.
