Resorts with Overwater Bungalows Close to the East Coast of USA For Your Honeymoon

So many honeymoon couples dream of staying in an overwater villa or bungalow for at least part of their honeymoon, until they realize how long the flights are from the east coast of the USA to the South Pacific or Maldives and how expensive these vacations can be. Good news! in the last few years there have been several options open in the Caribbean and Mexico – these are a few of my favorites. The desire for privacy and bespoke experiences are more sought after during the pandemic than ever, so book early for best availability as most of these sell out two years in advance.
