LEADERSHIP QUOTE OF THE DAY (19 May 2012): To manage a system effectively| you might focus on the interactions of the parts rather than their behaviour taken separately. - Russell L. Ackoff

Over Water Bungalows
Overwater bungalows and water villas are known for being expensive especially when you include rooms with a view and private decks.
There are over 110 resorts in the world offering these over-the-water rooms, and almost all of them are over 500 square feet, and usually around 1,000 square feet. This makes those about 2 to 3 times larger than a typical city hotel room.
At the Soneva Gili by Six Senses Resort, they have 44 Villa Suites and Residences that range from 2,260 to 2,691 square feet, making them among the largest in the Maldives. But one – known as the Private Reserve – measures in at an astounding 15,069 square feet (1400 m².
It’s arguably the finest overwater resort in the Maldives, and the Private Reserve is BY FAR the largest overwater villa in the world.
Price of the Private Reserve range from US$8,750 per night for up to 6 guests during low season and US$15,000 per night in high season.
The above rates are just for the “room”. You can also get packages that include all meals (including soft drinks) and one massage per day for an extra fee.
