Sure, you could be happy with a dream vacation on an exotic isle like Bora Bora, Tahiti, the Maldives or Fiji. But why settle for a landlocked hotel when you could wake up to the ocean waves stretching out from your bedroom window and flowing beneath your feet in your over-the-water bungalow?

There’s nothing quite like staying in one of these luxurious accommodations, where glass floors let you watch spectacularly colored fish swim beneath your feet and room service is delivered by canoe. You can watch the sun rise or set over the calm waters as you relax on your private deck. And when it’s time for a swim, just jump right into the ocean from your bedroom patio. How’s that for luxury?

Even if the price tag of an over-the-water bungalow isn’t quite in your budget, you can get a virtual taste of the good life with this photo tour.
