10 Places to Fulfill Your Overwater Bungalow Fantasy

The Maldives has no shortage of spectacular overwater bungalows — choosing just one feels like a sin. However, Gili Lankanfushi's 45 authentic and charmingly rustic villas are among the most highly rated. With rooftop terraces, spacious sun decks, mini wine cellars, private water hammocks, semi open-air private bathrooms, and 24-hour butlers that go by the moniker Mr. or Ms. Friday, it's not hard to see why. For the ultimate in seclusion, the Crusoe Residence (pictured here) and the Private Reserve (reputed to be the largest overwater villa in the world) are only accessible via motorized boat. The latter even comes with its own infinity pool and slide.
