Island Resorts with Overwater Spas

An overwater spa turns a massage into something you will remember for years, with the sound of the ocean beneath the treatment table.

These spas sit on stilts over the lagoon, and the best ones use glass floors so you can watch fish during your treatment.

  • Look for treatment rooms with glass viewing floors
  • Ask about couples suites for a shared experience
  • Sunset slots are the most sought after
  • Book spa time before you arrive, it fills fast

Reserve your treatment early, and an overwater spa becomes the single most memorable hour of your island escape.
