People planning a honeymoon or similar romantic getaway ask us if there are any overwater bungalows in Florida or the Florida Keys. Unfortunately, there arent, but there are a handful of Caribbean overwater bungalow resorts that are worth looking at, which well discuss below.
If you are thinking about those dreamy little huts perched on stilts above a clear and delicate lagoon, then youll have to go a long way from Florida to find them. The ones that are in the Caribbean range from 3-star to 5-star deluxe, but those crystal clear lagoons just arent found in this part of the world at all. Well show you where to find those a bit down this page. Contents [Show]
If you are dreaming of an ultra-luxury villa that is perched over the water, then you can actually find a few options now.The most famous ones at the moment are the Sandals Grande St. Lucian Resort and the Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Both of these resorts offer a luxury experience to anyone willing to pay for it. The overwater villas at the Amanyara Turks and Caicos Resort are set over serene and lovely private ponds set in a lush landscape just steps from the ocean.
On another note, there is an all-inclusive resort in Cuba called Hotel Meliá Cayo Coco that has 68 overwater rooms set in 18 structures over their inland lagoon. It’s definitely not the daydream-inspiring sort of overwater bungalow, since every room shares walls and/or floors and ceilings with other units, but on the other hand they are quite cheap and the place gets great reviews.
There’s also a resort called Dellis Cay in Turks and Caicos, which has 7 overwater bungalows built in the traditional South Pacific style, but unfortunately as of early 2011 it’s not yet open, and reports of major financial troubles have put its long overdue opening into question for some time.
