Which Sandals has Over-the-Water Villas?
I wish I had known ten years ago that Sandals has Over-the-Water Villas. When my wife and I were planning our honeymoon, we dreamed of staying in an Over-the-Water Bungalow or Villa, but we had only heard of them being far off in places like Tahiti. However, there are some great options with Sandals in the Caribbean!
In this article, I’ll share with you specifically which resorts the Overwater Villas are located in. If you’re looking for more information on the Overwater Bungalows, check out our other article here.
Let’s dive into which resorts offer these accommodations, then we’ll cover rates and how to book these rooms. Sandals has overwater villas at two of their resorts:
Sandals Royal Caribbean in Montego Bay, Jamaica
Sandals St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Sandals Royal Caribbean

Located just offshore on the resort's private island, the overwater villas at Sandals Royal Caribbean make you feel like you're floating on the waters of Montego Bay. Each villa features several highly rated amenities:
Glass floor panels to view the marine life below
Over-the-water hammocks for two
Private outdoor shower and sun deck
Personal infinity pool
Outdoor soaking tub for two
Butler service
24-hour room service
Quick tip: For the ultimate experience, book a villa with a private infinity pool to soak in the sea views!

Sandals St. Vincent Overwater Villas (Credits: Sandals 2024)
For a more secluded escape, the overwater villas at the new Sandals St. Vincent are unbeatable. You’ll find these accommodations to be much newer and up to date, as the resort opened in 2024. These villas boast some truly unique features:
Two stories of indoor-outdoor living space (1,950 sq ft)
Private ocean-view terrace with sun loungers
Glass floor panels in the master bedroom
Dedicated living room with wet bar
Suspended patio with an overwater hammock
Personal butler service
Private water taxi transfer
I love the innovative design of these villas - the open-plan bedroom has a retractable glass wall that fully opens to let in the fresh sea breeze.
Is an Overwater Villa right for you?
Rates can run upwards of $2,500 per night. But for a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience (honeymoon, anyone?), they're worth the splurge.
Quick tip: Consider booking a slightly more affordable overwater bungalow and use the savings to indulge in extras like spa treatments or special tours.
I’ve seen the overwater villas get booked up well over a year in advance when working with clients, so you’ll want to start planning early! However, I’ve been able to use some agent skills to snag a few nights when they couldn’t seem to find any.
