A popular question we often receive is whether or not there is some type of overwater resort in Florida and the Florida Keys. Unfortunately, for at least the moment, we can’t say that there are any such options available. With that said, however, we’re happy to report that there are a few great overwater resorts in the Caribbean that are very much worth looking at, which we’ll discuss below.
But, if you’re thinking about those dreamy little huts that rest perched on stilts over a clear and delicate lagoon, then you’ll have to prepare yourself for travel that takes you far away from Florida.
Residing in the South Pacific and known for playing host to fantastic honeymoon getaways, the island of Bora Bora is a top choice for any couple who is willing to pay for it. Most people who visit describe the island as the most beautiful island on earth, and when you throw in luxury resorts with overwater bungalows, it’s pretty difficult to top.
All in all, you’ll find that there are around 20 hotels on Bora Bora, with over half of them showcasing overwater bungalows that impress by extending out and then over their crystal clear lagoons.
As of right now, there are only a few airlines that venture out to French Polynesia, and you’ll find that getting there isn’t quite as easy as you might think. Another thing you’ll want to understand is that the airlines that travel to French Polynesia all fly into Tahiti first, before departing to the other nearby islands. Thankfully so, Moorea is practically in the shadow of Tahiti so you actually have a few transportation options, unlike most of the rest in this large island group, where a flight is the only practical way of getting there.
Luckily, you’ll find that daytime and evening temperatures in Tahiti, as well as throughout the all of French Polynesia, are incredibly stable every month. Down below, on the temperature chart you’ll find that each day of the year is almost identical to the other days. Moorea Island is only 9 miles (17 km) away, so the climate and weather are basically identical, and there are better Moorea overwater bungalow resorts to consider, as well.
Now that you’ve decided you’re interested in visiting Tahiti or Moorea, you’ve most likely run into the issue of trying to figure when the best time to visit really is. This really isn’t the easiest question to answer, but the good news is this is simply because there really isn’t a bad time to visit. In other words, the best time to visit Tahiti or Moorea is when you’re able.
When you read the weather information gathered down below, you’ll notice that the weather within the Maldives tends to be nearly identical throughout, with the month not really meaning much. The days in this region tend to be on the warm side and at least, what most would consider, somewhat humid. The nights here are known for being both reasonably warm and a bit on the balmy side.
Unlike most of other tropical destinations, the Maldives is unique in that it has two different “monsoon seasons” each year.
Noted has having both a pleasant and a consistent climate throughout the duration of the entire year, the best time to visit the Maldives is simply put, whenever you decide you’d like to visit. With that said, there are some subtle differences going from one season into the next. In order to help you figure out when the best time to visit the Maldives is for you and your party, we’ve included some details, below.
Once you finally arrive in the beautiful Maldives, you’ll feel as though you’ve found a tropical paradise, especially at your overwater bungalow resort.

Thankfully, you’ll find that there are many flights that venture to the Malé International Airport from all over the globe, making it so that most people will only have to change planes one time during their trip.
Because of the location, guests will find that both daytime and evening temperatures in Bora Bora, as well as throughout the rest of French Polynesia, tend to be generally stable when looking month to month. Also, it’s important to note that because Bora Bora is even closer to the equator compared to nearby islands, it tends to be more consistent than Tahiti and Moorea, which are both about 140 miles (230 kilometers) to the southwest.
Acting as an extremely popular island for North American honeymooning couples and the romantically inclined, Bora Bora has both its high season and the largest crowds during the months of June and July. With that said, for those with a choice of when to go there are probably better times of year, this of course being dependent on your goals. We’ll dive into all of this down below.
