There are several South Pacific destinations offering over water bungalow
With its crystal blue waters, quiet beaches and thatched bungalows, the South Pacific offers the tourist a glimpse of paradise without the bustle and tacky exploitation which has happened at other popular vacation spots like Nassau and Hawaii. One way to enjoy the crystal blue shores is to sleep on them. There are several overwater resorts in Fiji waiting to be discovered.

Coconuts Beach Resort
Also East of Fiji, the Coconuts Beach Resort located in American Samoa offers overwater comfort and scenery with a less expensive price tag. This resort offers a variety of accommodations, including tree houses, beach fales, and three overwater bungalows. Additionally, the resort offers mountain biking, lagoon kayaking, a full bar, spa and pool. Perhaps the best feature of Coconuts Beach Resort is the low room count. With only 25 rooms total available for rent, finding a quiet spot to appreciate the island is less difficult than at other resorts. Coconuts Beach Resort offers overwater bungalows from $465 per night with a minimum of 3 nights stay.
