Do you dream of waking up to turquoise water right outside your door? An overwater bungalow honeymoon is just what you need. If you're not sure what an overwater bungalow is, it's a tiny house on stilts that sits in the water. They're usually offered by resorts, but you can also find them on vacation rental sites like Airbnb.

Some overwater bungalows lean super luxurious, with private plunge pools, glass floors to watch marine life and staff who bring champagne on call. Others are more laid-back, where its romance lies in its simplicity: hammocks over the water, thatched roofs and direct lagoon access. You'll want to decide if you're after an indulgent beach honeymoon or something more chill, and then look at destinations. The Maldives and Bora Bora are the big names, but you can also find dreamy options in places like Mexico and Jamaica.

We've rounded up some of the most romantic overwater bungalows we believe are worthy of a honeymoon. From private islands to designated honeymoon suites, start planning your once-in-a-lifetime romantic escape.
