Picture this: You wake up to the sound of gentle waves lapping against the stilts of your private overwater bungalow. I remember my first time staying in one of these—stepping out onto my private deck, coffee in hand, and watching a stingray glide gracefully beneath my feet through the glass floor panel. Pure magic. You roll over, stretch, and realize—you’re not dreaming. This is your life, at least for the next few days, in one of Sandals Resorts’ jaw-dropping overwater bungalows. Welcome to peak vacation goals. If you’ve ever fantasized about a tropical getaway where you can step straight from your bedroom into the clearest turquoise waters imaginable, you’re in luck. Sandals Resorts has made that dream a reality at three of its most luxurious properties: Sandals South Coast, Sandals Royal Caribbean, and Sandals Grande St. Lucian. Each offers something unique, but they all have one thing in common: next-level indulgence.
What Makes Sandals’ Overwater Bungalows So Special?
Before we get into the nitty-gritty details of each resort, let’s talk about why these overwater bungalows are a must-experience. We’re talking about glass floor panels (so you can spy on the fish without getting your feet wet), outdoor tranquility soaking tubs, and private infinity pools that redefine the meaning of “room with a view.” Oh, and did I mention your own personal butler? That’s right. No lifting a finger—unless it’s to summon a tropical cocktail or another round of lobster tail. Now, let’s dive (literally) into the best overwater bungalows Sandals has to offer. I still remember my first time stepping into one—the cool ocean breeze, the sound of the waves, and the overwhelming feeling of “this is paradise.” One of my clients even told me that waking up in an overwater bungalow at Sandals was the closest thing to feeling like royalty. And honestly? I couldn’t agree more.
