The Overwater Bungalows at Sandals Resorts are the most well know suites of all Sandals Resorts. Pretty much everyone wants to stay at them until they see the price tag.
Located just off private island at Sandals Royal Caribbean, these overwater escapes are the ultimate splurge, designed for couples who want unparalleled privacy, elevated luxury, and constant connection to the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea.
* Keep in mind the overwater bungalows are getting some refurbishment and looks like they will reopen in December or 2025. When the rooms are open again we will get some new photos.

Sandals Royal Caribbean Private Island
Beyond the overwater suites, Sandals Royal Caribbean’s private island—called Sandals Island—is a true hidden gem. The island features a secluded beach, swim-up bar, beachside cabanas, and the Royal Thai restaurant, one of the most unique dining experiences at any Sandals resort.
The vibe here is quieter and more exclusive than the main resort, making it the perfect escape when you want a little more privacy or a change of scenery. Whether you’re lounging by the pool with a cocktail in hand, enjoying a couple’s massage in the spa cabana, or catching a fire show at night, the private island feels like a resort within a resort, and it’s one of the reasons Sandals Royal Caribbean stands out as a romantic, luxurious getaway.
Are the Overwater Bungalows at Sandals Royal Caribbean worth it?
I think they are definately worth it if you can afford it. If staying at the overwater bungalow will keep you from being able to take additional vacations to Sandals.
