This is the ultimate, bucket-list travel fantasy come to life.

There is no image that captures the dream of a perfect, tropical paradise quite like the overwater bungalow. The idea of a private, thatched-roof villa perched on stilts over a calm, impossibly blue lagoon is the pinnacle of travel aspiration for a reason. It is an experience of unparalleled beauty, privacy, and a deep, immersive connection to the sea. The price tag for this fantasy is often astronomical.
These are the resorts, however, that are so spectacular, so beautiful, and so luxurious that they are actually worth the incredible splurge.
