There are five resorts offering overwater bungalows in Central America, with every single one of them on the Caribbean side. The most expensive, which can be found in Belize, is actually a private island that houses only one luxury overwater suite that includes its own servants. The others in the area are much cheaper and thus more basic, in addition to an all-inclusive resort in Cuba that has overwater rooms that sit in groups of four.
Check our main Caribbean overwater bungalows page for the specifics, but to summarize, you’ll find:
Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort, Montego Bay, Jamaica – An adult only, all inclusive resort that features a mixture of both land and overwater rooms, this resort offers nightly rates that start out at around US$4,500.
Sandals Grande St. Lucian Resort, Saint Lucia – The only overwater resort to be found on the island, this resort offers rooms that impress with a very private outdoor soaking tub, over water hammocks, and glass floor panels.
Cayo Espanto – A private island escape, this ultra-luxury resort that sits on its own island located just off of Ambergris Caye in Belize has one huge overwater bungalow, and it rents for over US$1,500 per night.
Hotel Meliá Cayo Coco – Noted as an all-inclusive resort in Cuba that features 68 overwater rooms that are stationed in 18 structures over its lagoon, you’ll also find 182 rooms in its beach hotel.
Anthony’s Key Resort: Here, at this all-inclusive resort, you’ll find ten overwater bungalows that are not completely over the water, but peached over the waters edge instead.
CoCo View Resort – Honduras: At this all-inclusive diving resort, overwater rooms are in groups of either 2 or 4. There are also 10 beach rooms to select from.
Punta Caracol Acqua-Lodge: Nine overwater bungalows can be found at this small eco-resort off Panama, which is run off of solar powered, and includes breakfast and dinner with a room rate starting at US$265 per night.
Im interested in know where the overwater bungalows are located. Do they have any that close to Destin Florida?
Nekitha,
There are some overwater bungalows on a lake in the Disney resort. Aside from those the closest are in Jamaica at Sandals. -Roger
I would love to reserve a week stay in an over the water bungalow including May 16th 2021.

Please let me know. Looking to book asap
thanks
Yanna,
We are simply an online guide to overwater resorts and we don’t do bookings. We do have booking links for every resort on the site, so booking online is usually your best bet. Best of luck with this. In normal years it would be impossible to get a last-minute deal over Christmas, but this year might be different. I’d check agoda.com as they almost always have the best rates in the Maldives. -Roger
Any suggestions as to a nice place for an extended stay? Preferably on a beach, over water and food inclusive. I have heard a rumour about $30 k per couple for a one year stay…any substance to that? We don’t need a year,, but would certainly consider three to five months. We are retired, used to travel a lot, and have homes in Canada and Mexico. We are now a bit bored in Canada and Mexico is a bit dicey.
Any deals?
David,
I’m not aware of any good deals on overwater bungalows in countries where you can stay for extended periods. The Maldives now has a deal for US$30,000 to stay in a water villa for a whole year, but I believe you can only stay 30 days at a time. It’s a really tough time for anything like this, and hopefully next year it will get better. -Roger
