Sweet Bocas, Panama

The overwater accommodations at this Bocas del Toro island resort may be called a villa, it’s a really a house. Spanning 20,000 square feet and wrapped in a broad deck, the two-story residence includes seven guest rooms and plenty of space for lounging and dining. Accessible via a long dock, the resort is part of a luxury estate on Isla Colon with an on-site restaurant, farm, tennis courts, and other amenities. It’s the only true overwater “villa” in the Caribbean.
