Overwater Bungalows Worth the Splurge
Overwater bungalows are the postcard image of luxury travel, and some genuinely live up to the dream while others just charge for a photo angle.
The difference is in the details: the reef below, the deck size, and whether the ladder drops you into clear water or a murky lagoon.
- Check if the house reef is healthy and swimmable
- Look for bungalows with glass floor panels
- Sunset-facing decks cost more but earn it
- Ask about water depth and currents before booking
Spend a little extra for the right bungalow on the right reef, and the snorkeling becomes the highlight of the whole trip.
