The overwater bungalows at Sandals Resorts are the most well-known suites. Pretty much everyone wants to stay at them until they see the price tag. At Sandals Royal Caribbean, you can choose between overwater bungalows and overwater villas with private pools.
Located just offshore from the main resort on the 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.
* Keep in mind that the Sandals Royal Caribbean overwater bungalows are getting some refurbishment and it looks like they will reopen in December of 2025. When the new rooms are open, we will get some new photos.

Sandals Royal Caribbean Private Island
Beyond the overwater bungalows, Sandals Royal Caribbean’s private island is a true hidden gem. The island features two secluded beaches (one that’s clothing-optional), a pool with a swim-up bar, beachside cabanas, a Jerk Shack, and the Royal Thai restaurant (one of our favorites).
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 definitely worth it if you can afford it, but not if staying at the overwater bungalow will keep you from being able to take additional vacations to Sandals.
