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.
Hi we are planing a trip to Puerto Rico in early 2024. We would like to spend a portion of our 10 day vacation in an over the water bungalow. Im lookn for the closest place and also if a passport is required for us travlers. And probably a bunch more questions. Thanks.
Eli,
The only overwater bungalows remotely close to Puerto Rico are at the Sandals in St. Lucia. They are amazing, although not cheap. And you would need a passport, unfortunately, but at least you have time to get one. -Roger
