What Are Sandals Overwater Bungalows and Where Can You Book One?

Sandals Resorts’ overwater bungalows are the dreamy, Instagram-worthy villas you see sitting right over the ocean, the kind where you can wake up, look through a glass floor at the water below, then step out onto your deck and jump straight into the sea. Bucket list, for sure.

They’re private, super luxurious, and come with all the extras, like a private infinity pool, overwater hammock, butler service, and even a soaking tub for two with ocean views. It’s like having your own mini resort floating on the water.

These Sandals Resorts have Bungalows and are Close to the United States:

What I like about these resorts, besides being a fantastic place to spend some time, is how close they are to the U.S.

You can find these bungalows at these Sandals Resorts:

• Sandals Royal Caribbean is in Montego Bay, Jamaica is only a 100 minute direct flight from Miami. They have different bungalows available, each offering different amenities such as access to a private offshore island, glass floor panels, private outdoor Tranquility Soaking Tubs for two, and Sandals’ butler and 24-hour room service.
  
• Sandals South Coast in Whitehouse, Jamaica is also a 100 minute direct flight from Miami. At this resort bungalows have private patios with overwater hammocks, outdoor showers, Tranquillity Soaking Tubs for two, Butler Elite Service, and glass floor panels.
  
• Sandals Grande St. Lucian in Saint Lucia comes in at 3.5 hours from Miami for a direct flight, with panoramic ocean views, private outdoor Tranquility Soaking Tub for two, overwater hammocks, and Butler Elite service.
  
• Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines These are two-story units, adding another unique option to their portfolio. So, while your list is accurate for the more established bungalows, it’s worth noting the newest addition!

Why choose them? Romance. Luxury. Location. Honestly, if you’re doing a honeymoon, wedding, anniversary, or just want the ultimate romantic escape, this is it. It’s all about privacy, luxury, and that “wow” factor. You’re literally living over the ocean, and it doesn’t get much better than that.
