Almost every couple who travels to Tahiti-whether for a wedding, honeymoon, anniversary or dream vacation-fantasizes about sleeping in an overwater bungalow, thatched-roof hotel rooms set on stilts above the islands' legendary blue lagoons.

From Moorea and Bora Bora to Taha'a and Tikehau, here are 13 top overwater bungalow options (shown in 20 photos showing both exterior settings and interior decor). They range from a cozy 330 square feet to a palatial 3,455 square feet, have nightly rates from about $500 to more than $5,000, and offer easy access to the lagoon for swimming and snorkeling from private decks.
