    Overwater Bungalow

    An overwater bungalow is a form of high-end tourist accommodation built on stilts directly over a body of water, typically a calm coastal lagoon. Originating in French Polynesia in the 1960s, this architectural style has become synonymous with luxury travel, tropical destinations, and romantic getaways, most notably in regions like the Maldives and the South Pacific.
