Sleeping on Water: Overwater Hotels
You don't know what great hotel features are until you've stayed in an overwater hotel. Between the glass floors, the restaurants in aquariums and the underwater nightclubs, you'll never want to see dry land again.

If you really want to live it up, book here. There are two-storey villas and all kinds of fun amenities like fresh fruit and a complimentary Happy Hour.
Built on piles on the lake of Neuchâtel. This hotel is the only on water hotel in Europe. It's super nice and if you stay there you get to ride all the public transportation in town for free.
I love this because it looks like something out of an Ingmar Bergman film. The only overwater hotel in Europe, this is a five-star facility with a computer in every room. It also has gorgeous meeting facilities so if you're planning an off-site meeting, keep it in mind.
There are 392 overwater villas here so you've got a lot to choose from and they've got plenty to keep you occupied like stunt kite shows and something called "Monster Golf".
For those of you who will be using your own plane to fly here, the local airport is happy to welcome all guests of the Shangri-la. And no, I'm not kidding.
This resort has a Turkish hammam in it and if you've never experienced one it's really amazing. Hope you like heat, though--hammams are usually blazing hot. You'll feel incredible afterwards!
This is the resort's "Sea.Fire.Salt.Sky." restaurant where they bake dishes on a Himalayan salt rock. If fish isn't your thing, they have a very varied menu.
This place is really trying to do it all. I need to see this for myself. They have an underwater restaurant, a 3 person submarine to explore the islands, and an Ice Cream Spa for the kids. Get this..

"The Ice Cream Spa is a unique kids’ spa programme, for children aged 4-12 and is designed to give an insight into the secrets of spa therapy and help busy children unwind" I find an enormous amount of unintentional humor in that quote... but it kind of makes me want to go even more.…see moresee less
They've just had a renovation so everything is looking really sleek and new. For the adults there's a great pool bar and for the kids there's a Kid's Club. Actually maybe that's for the adults, too.
Tatt lovers take note: the Moorea Pearl Resort and Spa has a tattoo artist who does traditional Polynesian tattoos either in your room or in the resort tattoo studio.
Big rooms, outdoor showers, butlers...I'm in! Also, an adults-only pool which is the greatest thing anyone ever came up with. I didn't like to swim with kids when I was one.
It's not cheap but the rooms here are big and the service is incredible. There are also some beachfront suites here that are perfect for bigger families.
i've heard this is the ultimate honeymoon or second honeymoon trip. some of these huts are built right over the water. you can wake up in the morning, roll out of bed and literally go swimming.
