Today (September 28, 2020): Top 10 world’s <\/strong>most beautiful overwater bungalows (outside the Maldives and French Polynesia).<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Last week, the Maldives\u2019 original barefoot luxury resort, <\/span>Soneva Fushi<\/a>, welcomed its first guests in the world’s largest overwater villas<\/a>. A stay inside an overwater villa nestled over a beautiful stretch of ocean or lagoon is high up the bucket list of most discerning travelers and honeymooners. Indeed, it is hard to top an island getaway experience, with bungalow style rooms perched above pristine water where a dip in the warm sea waters is literally outside your door. And while the top resorts in the Maldives<\/a>\u00a0and their counterparts in French Polynesia<\/a> are the world’s best destinations for luxurious overwater villas, there are some alternatives to be found outside these ultimate Bounty Islands. Here’s my top 10 list of the best resorts with overwater villas, located outside the Maldives and French Polynesia.<\/p>\n

10. HOTEL PALAFITTE, SWITZERLAND<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n

Hotel Palafitte is located in the town of Neuch\u00e2tel-Monruz in the northwest corner of Switzerland, close to Bern and Lausanne and a bit farther from Basel and Zurich. The property is an architectural masterpiece that offers an uncommon experience – most of its bright, light-filled private suites, known as pavilions, stand on stilts in Lake Neuch\u00e2tel, affording stunning views of the Alps, the water below, and beyond. Ambiance is everything at this only overwater-bungalow resort in all of Europe. This unique boutique hotel is warm and inviting any time of the year, surrounded by blue water, picturesque mountains, and glorious silence for tranquility in a spectacular location.<\/p>\n
