When it comes to overwater villas, no two are alike. Here are a few of my favorite overwater, tropical escapes around the world and what makes them special. ☀️
Soneva Jani, Maldives 🏝 - creates a highly private, bucket-list overwater experience with dramatic architecture, sprawling pools, and water slides.
COMO Maalifushi, Maldives 🌿- If you are seeking serenity over spectacle, is the place for you, with minimalist design, wellness experiences, and a secluded atoll setting.
Four Seasons Bora Bora, French Polynesia ⛰️ - offers the classic overwater bungalow experience with iconic Mount Otemanu views, polished luxury, and traditional Polynesian design.
Soneva Fushi, Maldives 🐬- Fushi offers a more rustic, castaway-style escape with barefoot luxury, jungle surroundings, and a strong focus on sustainability and marine life, perfect for the family.
Six Senses Ninh Van Bay, Vietnam 🌱- features villas set among dramatic rocks, jungle, and coastline, creating a rugged, nature-driven escape centered around sustainability and wellness.
Song Saa Private Island, Cambodia 🌊- offers intimate, barefoot luxury with a strong conservation focus, creating a private escape centered around simplicity and meaningful connection.
