This Tiny Overwater Bungalow Resort Is in a Stunning, Crowd-Free Corner of the Caribbean

We love overwater bungalows. So do you. Admit it. Every one does. It’s one of the great travel fantasy’s — you and yours all by yourselves, surrounded by nothing but water, waking up to the ocean and living under a thatched roof. 

While they were always the purview of the South Pacific, in the last decade they’ve become more popular in the Caribbean. That’s particularly true in the crowd-free, under-the-radar Caribbean coast of Panama, more specifically the stunning Bocas del Toro archipelago. 

Here, there are quite a few overwater bungalow options, with precisely the sort of experience you’re looking for. 

That includes a new-look option: the transformed Sol Bungalows resort in Bocas del Toro, which just unveiled its newly-built bungalows.

It’s exactly the kind of overwater bungalow you’re looking for.

There are four in total, with all of the essentials: the thatched roof, overwater hammocks, the glass floors, snorkeling you can do right from your room. 

Even better? The hotel also has its own permaculture farm, meaning its services up locally-sourced, farm-to-table fare served right in your fantasy cottage.

It’s in the heart of Bocas del Toro.

It’s also completely solar powered, with all water harvested from rain, meaning you really are right off the grid. 

Sol calls itself an overwater bed-and-breakfast: it’s a unique, intimate, friendly little overwater resort that’s worth the trip. 

Prices start at $330 per night including breakfast, making it also one of the best-value overwater options, well, anywhere.
