Wake to the hush of the lagoon beneath your feet, step straight from your deck into warm, crystal-clear water, and watch the sun melt into the horizon from your private loungers. Our overwater bungalow holidays bring together tranquillity, barefoot luxury and nature—made effortless by Crystal Sky Travels.

Ways to keep the budget smart
Travel in shoulder months for calmer rates but great weather windows. Mix beachfront nights + overwater nights (e.g., 3 + 4) for the same “wow” with lower cost.
