Overwater bungalows are luxurious resorts constructed over the water, often on stilts, and provide direct access to the surrounding lagoon or ocean. Guests also enjoy privacy and modern comforts within their villas while also enjoying a wealth of amenities available at the main resort.
You can find overwater bungalows in premier island destinations around the world, including the Maldives, Tahiti, Fiji and New Caledonia. These stunning locations offer a range of overwater bungalow packages for travellers seeking a luxurious and picturesque escape.
Overwater bungalows offer a host of amenities. These include private decks with direct water access, glass floors to view marine life, outdoor showers, spacious bathrooms, air conditioning and king-sized beds. Guests can enjoy entertainment options, room service and access to resort amenities like pools, spas, yoga retreats and dining options.
When packing for a stay in an overwater bungalow, consider bringing swimwear, sunscreen, comfortable clothing, a good camera, snorkelling gear if you're a fan, and appropriate electrical adapters. Additionally, don't forget any personal items and medications you may need.
Many overwater bungalow packages and deals are often designed with couples and romantic getaways in mind, but some resorts do offer family-friendly options. It's essential to check with the specific resort or accommodation provider regarding their policies and suitability for children. Some resorts have dedicated family overwater bungalows, while others may have age restrictions.

We had an fabulous trip to Canada and Alaska organized by the amazing Sam Treby. The flights, tours, hotels and pickups for our tours were all spot on. Sam couldn't have been more helpful and knowledgeable, we could not have asked for a better adviser.
We had a perfect trip to Sri Lanka through Entire travel. Tina was amazing at working around our already made plans while also creating an itinerary that we could never have planned ourselves. She was willing to jump in and fix things quickly when something came up and was so easy to deal with when I had a million questions. Absolutely recommend the sri lanka tour, we had an absolute blast!
