The concept of bungalows As we know it, it is 55 years old and has its origins in the islands of Tahiti thanks to three Californians. Although it sounds a bit bizarre, the story is that Hugh Kelley, Muk McCallum and Jay Carlisle settled and fell in love with the area and thought that a way to live a unique experience would be build cabins over the sea. Said and done.
The first three were built in 1967 in the hotel Bali Hai by Raiatea. From there to installing glass panels on the floor to contemplate the seabed, there was one step. Today, 55 years later, staying in bungalows exclusive accommodation located on the water has become a luxury within the reach of a few. And although they are originally from French Polynesia, the truth is that we find countless of them around the world. We hope that customers and friends of De Salas You can get to know some of the ones we are going to propose to you.
Although all bungalows on the water of Four Seasons Bora Bora in French Polynesia are an example to miss, the four suites'Otemanu Overwater Bungalow' they go one step further. Whether you are in the spacious living room, eating in the dining room, bathing in the sculptural bathtub, lounging in the palapa or swimming at the edge of the infinity pool, the beautiful blues of the sea are the star of the stage.
The bungalows in the Baa Atoll, Maldives, are not exactly simple bungalows, on the contrary. Each home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a useful surface area much higher than the average for similar properties on water, and top-level qualities. The above, added to a spectacular environment, the permanent assistance of a private butler, ends up resulting in a cost close to ten thousand euros per night for accommodation and its location on the Indian Ocean, making it one of the most luxurious accommodations in the world.
When it comes to island paradises, fright key they were the first bungalows on the water that were built in Belize. While all the villas are luxurious, the 'House Windows'100 square meters of privacy, goes further with custom-made furniture and a new glass floor with a light that can be changed to different colors. Decidedly, the name is not even remotely close to reality.
Most bungalows They are committed to fusing the wild exterior nature with the wonderful interior of its facilities, and an example is the 'Water Pool Villa' at Six Senses, Ninh Van Bay, Vietnam. These are private 150-square-meter villas with views of the bay's coral formations and impeccable sunsets, as well as plunge pools, outdoor showers, handcrafted wooden bathtubs and steps to diving.
And we finish our particular list with some bungalows very original, not because of its structure but because of its location. Is about Hotel Palafitte, and they are in Switzerland. This hotel became the first and only hotel in Europe built on wooden stilts when it was built within the framework of the National Expo 2002. It is about 26 bungalows, each with a private terrace, which manage to give the guest the feeling of be on a remote island, with access to sports such as sailing or water skiing to compensate for the lack of tropical fish.
No matter what time of year it is, think about bungalows ideally paradisiacal, it always seems like a good idea to us De Salas, that is why we thought that this week was as good as any other, to discover some of the most spectacular that exist on the water.
