Sandals Resorts have been providing amazing accommodations and vacation experiences for decades, but more recently they have brought the iconic overwater bungalows of the Maldives and French Polynesia to the Caribbean. Located in Jamaica, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, these overwater bungalows provide an exotic and romantic experience for couples.

These are currently being renovated and will be available after December 2025. There are two types: overwater honeymoon bungalows and overwater villas. Both have furnished sundecks with access to the water and glass floor inserts inside so you can see into the water, but the bungalows have outdoor Tranquility Soaking Tubs, while the villas are larger and feature a private infinity pool overlooking the water, a sitting area inside, and a soaking tub in the spa-like bathroom.
The private island also features two restaurants, a pool with swim-up bar, and two peaceful beaches. These overwater bungalows also come with private water taxi service to the main resort, which features another lovely beach, more fun pools, 9 restaurants, and 5 bars.
