Bora Bora Lagoon Resort & Spa

Where: Bora Bora, French Polynesia

Bora Bora is unquestionably the world capital of exotic

travel locations. So it is no surprise that one of the loveli-

est floating resorts in the world is located on this island in

French Polynesia. The Bora Bora Lagoon Resort & Spa

boasts of 44 over-water bungalows, though guests can

also book rooms on the beach and in the resort’s gardens.

Not only do you get views of the deep blue sea, but the

imposing 2,385-foot-high Mount Otemanu stands nearby.

There is plenty of water sports to be enjoyed here. But

whatever you do, make sure to take a trip on one of those

glass bottom boats. This resort is also hailed as the ulti-

mate honeymoon retreat. So if you have just gotten mar-

ried, you might want to give this high-end resort a second

look.

Oberoi Udaivilas

Where: Udaipur, India

Experience the grandeur of India while living like royalty

in the ultra-luxurious Oberoi Udaivilas. Take your cameras

with you as you inspect the architecture of this splendid

floating palace that stands on the waters of the Lake

Pichola. Lavish courtyards and grand fountains welcome

you into this historical home. The suites here come with

private pools. While you are here, make sure to take a ride

onboard a Kashmiri boat with champagne and canapés for

company. Food connoisseurs can taste delicious Indian

food at any of the hotel’s three restaurants.

Floating & Rotating Hotel Tower

Where: Dubai, UAE

The city of Dubai is slowly making its way into the world

as a tourism destination for the richest of the rich. As if

the Burj Khalifa was not enough, there is also a Dubai

underwater hotel and now, the subject of our focus, the

Floating & Rotating Hotel Tower by Waterstudio. This

elaborate building stands 25 stories above sea level just

off the coast of Dubai. With a foundation that is only 6

meters in depth, this architectural marvel will be another

feather in Waterstudio’s cap. The tower itself rotates one

degree every minute, providing guests with a different

view of the ocean in every passing moment.

King Pacific Lodge

Where: British Columbia, Canada

If Canada is where you are headed and if expense is not

an issue, book yourself into the luxurious King Pacific

Lodge. This property in Canada’s British Columbia region

sits just outside the Great Bear Rainforest. Get closer to

nature in this 17-suite lodge that is accessible only by sea-

plane. The lodge sits on a floating barge, and is truly high

on luxury. Each suite offers king-sized beds and hot tubs.

You can try seafood delicacies at the King Pacific Lodge’s

luxurious restaurant or try a Japanese-style massage at

the spa. But why spend all your time lounging indoors

when you could be whale watching, kayaking or trekking

through the rainforest. The damages are high though.
