Best Overwater Bungalow in Bali

Bali does not have the standard overwater bungalows as the ocean conditions are a little too intense. However, this is more than made up for in the large number of man-made lagoons, and water villas with swim-up bars and rooms.

Our award for the Best Overwater Bungalow In Bali goes to The St. Regis Bali Resort At Nusa Dua. The resort merits this award because of the sheer commitment to creating a tropical oasis that exceeds guests expectation of the type of overwater bungalows you might expect to find in locations like Bora Bora even.

The St. Regis Bali Resort at Nusa Dua

Overwater Bungalow In Bali

The St. Regis Bali Resort is influenced by traditional architecture and is a good example of why we love Bali the way we do. The 120ish rooms on one of Bali's best beaches is an inspiration. The over water bungalows here are also quite stunning.
