There's nothing quite like spending a vacation in a luxurious overwater villa. Whether you're looking for a relaxing holiday on a tropical island or an adventure-filled trip, there are plenty of vacation destinations around the world that offer overwater villas to choose from.


While the Maldives is a popular destination for overwater villas, there are other equally amazing places to visit, such as Bora, Fiji, and more. To help you decide where to take your next vacation, we've gathered a list of the top four overwater villa resorts from around the world.


1. Four Seasons Resort Bora: This private vacation paradise is located in the heart of French Polynesia. The water is a beautiful turquoise color and there are magnificent views of Mount Otemanu.


You can go snorkeling and see breathtaking colorful corals and even encounter sharks. There are also experienced guides to take you hiking all year round. If you just want to relax, you can stay in your water villa and have food and drinks delivered to you by canoe.


2. Gilliland Kanfushidao Resort: This resort can only be reached by boat and is the only resort on Rancanfoshi Island, Maldives. The resort has made full use of its space on the small island and built a 45-suite resort, including a unique villa island.


The villas are towering and completely out of touch with the land, decorated in a country style. Each villa has a deck with sunbeds and hammocks, as well as direct access to the ocean.


3. Polynesia Tikho Pearl Beach Resort: Located on a small island in Tikhor Atoll, northwest of Tahiti, the resort offers 24 bungalows, including superior water villas with direct access to the water and ordinary water suites with glass floors for viewing the fish.


All rooms are designed in a Polynesian style, using materials such as coconut trees, bamboo, teak, and local wood. The resort also offers a restaurant with fresh European and Polynesian food, as well as a spa in a bungalow on the beach.


4. Aitutaki Lagoon Resort in the Cook Islands: Located about 600 kilometers southwest of Tahiti, this is the only water villa in the Cook Islands with direct access to the lagoon. The resort offers amazing sunsets and a variety of activities such as snorkeling and kayaking.


These four resorts offer breathtaking views and luxurious accommodations, making them the perfect destination for a dream vacation. While the cost of staying at these resorts may be high, the experience is certainly worth it.
