Have you ever wanted to stay at one of those resorts that had bungalows on stilts out over the water? Yeah, me too!
They look so beautiful and relaxing. Some attached to the mainland by a dock, others reachable only by boat. How pleasant to sit and read with your toes dangling in the water, to go for a quick swim before breakfast, and to feel the peacefulness that being on the water can bring. Ahhhh, bliss!
Until recently, searching for that perfect overwater bungalow was a heavy research project, but a recently launched website hopes to provide you with all the information you need much more quickly. The Overwater Bungalows Guide has the details for each hotel in an easy-to-scan format so you can quickly determine which resort suits you best for this trip of a lifetime.
There are 110 resorts listed, like the overwater bungalows in Bora Bora and the water villas in the Maldives, but with an increasing number of these type of resorts in the Caribbean, you may not have to go half way around the world to enjoy the experience. You’ll also find overwater bungalows cropping up in Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and others parts of tropical Asia. Also included on the site are news stories with information about new resorts under development and when they’ll be opening.
What’s the largest overwater bungalow? The 15,000 square foot water villa, the Private Reserve at Soneva Gili by Six Senses Resort. This little gem goes for $15,000 a night during high season.
Now, do they have wi-fi?
