Why the Caribbean’s Overwater Bungalow at Sandals Grande St. Lucian Might Be Your Perfect Escape (Hint: It’s Not in Tahiti!)
Dreaming of an overwater bungalow? You might be picturing the faraway islands of Tahiti… but let’s talk about a luxe, adults-only option that’s a whole lot closer to home: the Over-the-Water Honeymoon Butler Bungalows at Sandals Grande St. Lucian in breathtaking Saint Lucia.
Getting to Tahiti often means 12+ hours in the air from major U.S. cities, not to mention connections and jet lag. Meanwhile, Saint Lucia is just a few hours away from the East Coast—and yes, roundtrip airport transfers are included with your Sandals stay. Step off the plane and straight into paradise.
Here’s where Sandals shines: everything’s included, from 5-star dining and premium drinks to watersports and butler service. Tahiti’s resorts? Stunning, yes—but none offer truly all-inclusive or adults-only experiences. That means more planning, more budgeting, and more surprise costs once you’re there.
The OWB (Over-the-Water Butler Bungalows) at Sandals Grande St. Lucian offer glass floor panels, private patios with soaking tubs, overwater hammocks, and sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea. Add your personal butler into the mix, and your only job is to relax.
Want to elevate your stay without breaking the bank? Here’s a travel tip: opt for a split stay. Enjoy a few unforgettable nights in the overwater bungalow, then continue your vacation in another luxurious room category. It’s a great way to stretch your experience and your budget.
