Luxury The Best Overwater Bungalows vacations

The Best Overwater Bungalows

The competition was tough, but we managed to narrow down the top resorts to visit for those seeking that picturesque water bungalow experience


The Maldives and Bora Bora are perhaps two of the world’s most iconic destinations when it comes to overwater bungalows.

The Nautilus, The Maldives

The Maldives is king of overwater bungalows with most of the resorts on the islands having a bungalow as an accommodation option. The Nautilus is one of the Maldives most premium choices with ultimate privacy. You will take a private seaplane in the Maldives to the island.

Bora Bora is always near the top of the list of the most beautiful places in the world, and rightly so! You just can’t beat the sense of luxury that encompasses it.

Song Saa Private Island, Cambodia

When you think of Cambodia, a water bungalow hotel doesn’t spring to mind. However, we were very pleasantly surprised with Song Saa Private Island. Its sleek luxurious design is the perfect place to escape to. The resort is located on a private island and is only accessible by boat, so it is perfect if you are seeking ultimate seclusion.

Song Saa Private Island

The water bungalows themselves are decorated with an authentic theme throughout and are equipped to a very high standard. The uninterrupted view of the ocean is something hard to say goodbye to when it’s time to leave, but this very special island will give you an unforgettable experience.

Hotel Palafitte, Switzerland

It seems you don’t have to get on a 12-hour flight to get your water bungalow holiday! Switzerland is kind of the odd one out in this collection of destinations, but the Hotel Palafitte is the perfect peaceful rural escape. Ideal for those looking to connect with nature

Hotel Palafitte, Switzerland

The design of the rooms has a naval theme, with the exterior styled around shipping containers. These comfortable cosy bungalows are built on Lake Neuchâtel. The bungalows have ladders leading down to the lake for those who fancy a refreshing morning dip.
