Because the Bahamas are considered a very easy to reach destination in the Caribbean, there are many travelers who ask whether or not this island chain harbors any overwater resorts. Unfortunately, the answer is no, but there is still some good news as there are some great overwater resort options that aren't too far away.
First off, water villas, or ‘overwater bungalows' as they are called in the South Pacific, can only be built over protected lagoons that don't have waves (or regular hurricanes) to deal with. The ones most of us dream about are over clear-water lagoons in a certain kind of volcanic island, and the Bahamas just doesn't allow for that.
Do you have to have a passport?
Yes, if you arrive from another country you’ll need a passport to enter Jamaica, even if you are a Jamaican citizen. You don’t need a passport to enter Puerto Rico if you are American, but unfortunately there are no overwater bungalows there. Sorry. -Roger
Can Any one provide me with construction company’s contact or number

You’d be better off contacting a resort directly. We are simply an online guide to resorts. -Roger

Rute,
You’ll want to contact Sandals about this. They have a phone number on their website. -Roger
Yes they are being constructed, I have a friend who is working on the environmental side of the project and I have seen pictures of them under construction, can’t give a finish date though.
Dianne,
It turns out they just announced that they plan to offer them as of November 15, 2016, which is great news. Thanks for the update. -Roger
are they ready yet?
Shadi,
We haven’t heard anything new, unfortunately. I was even in Montego Bay last summer and heard nothing. These Caribbean overwater bungalows never seem to get going, although the ones in the Riviera Maya area will open on September 1, 2016. -Roger
