Tahiti's iconic thatched-roof overwater bungalows are meant for sleeping (in sexy and divinely comfortable king-sized beds), but they are also perfect for sightseeing - without ever leaving your room.
Positioned over the serene lagoons of Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora and lesser-known islands like Taha'a and Tikehau, overwater bungalows cost $450-$900 a night and deliver stellar views of the water or landscape.
Here, a Premier Overwater One-Bedroom Villa at The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort offers a postcard-worthy view of Mt. Otemanu.
