Why Stay in Overwater Bungalows?

Staying in an overwater bungalow is a unique and enchanting experience you shouldn’t miss. For one, it offers unparalleled serenity for that ultimate relaxation. Plus, you’re treated to breathtaking scenic views. Since you have direct access to the sea, you get to enjoy immediate snorkelling and swimming opportunities. Overwater bungalow holidays are also the perfect escape for couples seeking intimacy and romance, making them a popular honeymoon option. Moreover, with so many water activities to choose from, these exclusive retreats are great for families as well.

Picking a Destination

Overwater bungalows are the cream of the crop of beach holidays. There’s only a handful of places in the world that offer the full experience. Still, it can be hard to choose a destination. The Maldives’ overwater bungalow resorts are often the top choice, but there are equally stunning options to choose from. For example, overwater bungalows in Fiji are set against lush, tropical landscapes, while a Tahiti overwater bungalow resort combines luxury and the authentic Polynesian charm.

Activities and Excursions in Overwater Resorts

There is no shortage of things to do and places to see while indulging in pure bliss in your overwater bungalow stay. Here are some activities and excursions offered at overwater resorts:

  • Snorkelling and Diving: Explore the vibrant underwater world right at your doorstep. Snorkelling and diving trips can introduce you to colourful coral reefs and a variety of marine life.
  • Sunset Cruises: Enjoy a romantic cruise on tranquil waters, complete with breathtaking sunsets and gentle ocean breezes.
  • Water Sports: Try your hand at kayaking, paddleboarding or windsurfing, all available from your overwater bungalow, for a dose of adventure.
  • Marine Safaris: Embark on guided marine safaris to spot dolphins, turtles, and, if you're lucky, majestic whales in their natural habitat.
  • Island-hopping: Explore nearby islands to experience different cultures, cuisine and landscapes, with the convenience of boat or seaplane transfers.
  • Private Dining: Arrange a romantic dinner on your bungalow deck or a secluded beach, enjoying the freshest seafood and local delicacies.
  • Spa and Wellness: Indulge in rejuvenating spa treatments in the comfort of your bungalow, with the sound of the ocean as your backdrop.
  • Cultural Experiences: Participate in cultural demonstrations and workshops to learn about the local traditions, dances and crafts.
  • Nature Walks: Discover the island's natural beauty with guided nature walks, where you can spot indigenous flora and fauna.
  • Stargazing: With minimal light pollution, overwater bungalows are perfect for stargazing. Consider stargazing excursions or simply gaze up at the night sky from your deck.
  • Fishing: Try your hand at traditional or big-game fishing, with the possibility of catching your own dinner.
  • Beach Picnics: Savour a romantic picnic on a secluded beach, complete with a basket of your favourite treats.

Tips to Make the Most of Your Overwater Bungalow Stay

So now you’ve booked your Tahiti or New Caledonia overwater bungalow, the next step is to make sure you have the perfect holiday plan. Here are a few tips to make your holiday seamless:

  • Plan Ahead: Research and book activities, dining reservations and spa treatments in advance to secure your desired experiences during your stay.
  • Pack Light: Overwater bungalows often have limited storage space, so pack only the essentials to keep your bungalow clutter-free.
  • Protect from the Sun: Sunscreen and sun protection are crucial. The sun's reflection on the water can lead to sunburn, so be prepared.
  • Relax and Unplug: Use this opportunity to disconnect from screens and enjoy the natural beauty and serenity around you.
  • Respect the Environment: Be mindful of the delicate marine ecosystems and follow eco-friendly practices during water activities.

My travel partner and myself have just returned from our trip to Switzerland ( May 2024 ) and wanted to put in writing our utmost gratitude to Katelyn Mulgrew and the team from Entire Travel Group for the professional, prompt and extensive service provided from start to finish. Kate was there with us every step of the way and answered any question or concern we had in a patient and understandable way, which left us with reassurance and confidence. Switzerland Grand Tour was amazing with picture postcard scenery at every turn. Every aspect of the booking was flawless, from the hotels, transportation and documentation it all worked seamlessly. Hotels were comfortable, central, welcoming and contained everything a traveller could need. Train travel throughout Switzerland is the only way to go, you just get on sit down and relax while enjoying the ever changing and spectacular scenery. I have, and, will be recommending Entire Travel Group to all my friends for any of their travel needs and, will definately be using them as my go to company for any future adventures. Thank you again to Kate and the team for helping us tick this item off our bucket list.

My husband and I just returned from the most amazing trip that Zoe Condon compiled for us. Everything was perfect. From first enquiry to trip complete, Zoe was always available to answer questions big or small and offer helpful knowledgeable tips. If you are looking to visit Canada do yourself a favour and ask Zoe, her knowledge is 2nd to none. I look forward to dealing with both Zoe and Entire Travel Group for future holidays.

My wife & I recently returned from a once in a lifetime experience to Canada. We were so fortunate & blessed that Zoe Condon was such a truely wonderful Travel advisor to make our journey so very special. We undertook the “Winter Views & Colourful Hues” and can only describe it as a Magical Winter Wonderland experience. Everyday was full of amazing experiences & adventures that will remain in our memory & hearts forever. As for Zoe, what an incredible asset she is for the Entire Travel Group. She is so caring, helpful, patient & always so professional in delivering “top shelf”customer service. We can never thank & praise Zoe enough……so grateful & Canada blew us away. 🇨🇦❤️ Special mention also for Zoe’s compassion & concern in helping us during a family grief period.

I recently booked a trip to the Maldives with Lisa. Apart from the trip being spectacular, it was a pleasure to deal with Lisa. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions. She responded very promptly to any queries even though she was overseas at the time. I can recommend her without hesitation and I am looking forward to booking a return trip to the Maldives with her next year.
