CARIBBEAN & MEXICO OVERWATER VILLAS
Once exclusive to Tahiti and the Maldives, overwater-bungalow-style accommodations are popping up closer to home. A few of our favorite overwater bungalows in the Caribbean can be found in Jamaica, Riviera Maya Mexico, Panama and Belize. There are many more Central America options available with easy access from North America.
Sandals Royal Caribbean, Montego Bay — Jamaica
Touted as the Caribbean’s first all-inclusive overwater bungalows, Sandals Royal Caribbean, Montego Bay features many of the same amenities as their Tahitian inspiration — glass floors, private butlers, over-the-water hammocks, infinity pools and outdoor showers — so you won’t have to fly halfway around the world to check the bungalow experience off your bucket list. Sandals welcomes couples only, and also features free weddings. All gourmet meals, premium drinks and activities are included for one price.

Punta Caracol Acqua Lodge, Panama
While you can find overwater bungalows sprinkled in this corner of the Caribbean, you rarely see two-story water villas like these, which even boast spacious decks. Punta Caracol was created in a totally natural environment, offering guests a pure and intimate experience with nature in a place of singular beauty. Built along a mile-long coral reefed coast, it was constructed using the traditional methods of the Archipelago: each of the nine handsomely crafted cabins is built upon stilts over the crystal-clear waters of the Bocas del Toro archipelago, and covered by a palm leaf roof - an unforgettable habitat congruent with the native communities of the region. From your private terrace you will be able to observe impressive sunsets interrupted only by playful dolphins.
