Best Overwater Bungalows
So it is officially Spring and if you live anywhere near where I do, it is really hard to tell. Especially when there is still snow in the forecast:( But maybe these images of the world's best over water bungalows will whisk you away from the snow and cold....even if it's just a day dream.......

Where: Maldives
Although there are plenty of beautiful over water resorts in the Maldives, what makes Cocoa Island by COMO stand out is its design. Instead of the traditional thatched-roof bungalow, guest rooms are built to look like traditional dhoni boats. All over water suites have private sundecks with loungers, and guests can enjoy the services of Cocoa Island’s butlers, who tackle everything from arranging romantic dinners to giving guided snorkeling tours.
Insider Tip: Cocoa Island's surrounding waters are filled with coral reefs, manta rays, and even a shipwreck. Shark viewing is offered for experienced divers.
Starting rate (per night for 2 adults): $1250

Bora Bora is often described as one of the most beautiful spots on earth, but the Four Seasons Bora Bora kicks it up a notch, featuring 100 over water bungalows perched on stilts above a private lagoon. The largest ones have private plunge pools and ladders leading down to the water. Guests who feel motivated to leave their villas can unwind at the spa, where treatments incorporate local ingredients like vanilla.
