Over the water bungalows in the Caribbean & Mexico
Over the water bungalows used to be popular only in exotic destinations. Now there are options closer to home in the Caribbean and Mexico. If it’s on your bucket list, you should check out one of the over the water bungalows listed below.
Sandals Royal Caribbean In Jamaica
Located in Montego Bay, the bungalows at Sandals Royal Caribbean In Jamaica are rather dreamy. They finally opened at the end of 2016 and there are 17 different bungalows to choose from. They each have glass floors, over the water hammocks and even infinity pools. To take care of all your needs, there are private butlers available to get you whatever you desire practically day or night.
Sandals is also planning on adding 12 over the water bungalows at Sandals South Coast Resort in Whitehouse, Jamaica. No completion date has been announced at this time.
El Dorado Maroma In Mexico
The Riviera Maya is home to these exquisite bungalows at the El Dorado Maroma In Mexico. This adults only retreat is located on one of the top beaches in the world and there are 30 over the water bungalows in total. This destination is easily accessible from Cancun and it’s recently become a popular place for American tourists to visit. Amenities include posh linens, a personal butler and total seclusion. Guests can enjoy onsite spa treatments as well.
Viceroy Bocas Del Toro In Panama
These bungalows at Viceroy Bocas Del Toro In Panama are not set to open until 2023, vs their original 2019 date, but they will be worth the wait. They will feature 42 bungalows on about 457 of coastline. Each will have their own private plunge pool to relax in. Nearby activities include zip-lining in the rain-forest, sailing, paddle boarding, deep sea fishing and scuba diving.
Cayo Espanto In Belize
There is just one over the water bungalow here at Cayo Espanto In Belize, so it’s very private, but surprisingly it’s fairly affordable at around $1,000 a night. It’s located on a four acre island at the end of a dock that’s 150 feet away from the island. Guests can enjoy things like massages and private picnics. The bungalow comes with a butler who serves meals on the private deck.
Sandals Grande St. Lucian Spa & Beach Resort
The new Over-The-Water Bungalows at Sandals Grande St. Lucian deliver an immersive journey of the Caribbean’s finest turquoise waters. Featuring a Tranquility Soaking Tub™ for two, an over-the-water hammock, sun deck with swim-up platform, and “sea-through” glass floors, these innovative suites marry modern luxury with exotic palapa-style architecture. There is also an over the water wedding chapel for those that want to tie the knot overlooking the crystal blue waters of Rodney Bay.
The Old Man & the Sea, Aruba
This resort only has 5 rooms – 2 over the water villas and 3 beach villas. Great food and very few people make for a wonderful private island experience.
