If you like the thought of one of the long, lazy luxury vacation packages at some of the world’s most pristine tropical playgrounds, wouldn’t it be even better if you could continue being surrounded by crystal clear water even while you are relaxing in your hotel room? In an over-water bungalow, you can do just that.
Imagine complementing your holiday with the sensational experience of staying in an over-water bungalow, where you can look through the glass bottom floor to watch the colorful reef fish and sting rays playing below you. Many of the over-water bungalow resorts also offer delicious canoe breakfasts where your fresh gourmet breakfast will be delivered directly to your villa by a friendly local in a canoe.
Here are our pick of the top five over-water bungalow destinations:
The Bora Bora Lagoon Resort and Spa is truly decadent, complete with a satellite and plasma TV, air-conditioning, and a private security safe. Of course, it also has exquisite views!

Of course, this comes complete with glass floors and even clear coffee tables so they don’t obstruct your view.
Cocoa Island Resort is 30 minutes from the airport by speedboat and is well worth the trip. Owned by the COMO Hotels and Resorts group, it has the same elegance that is typical of these resorts.
