Given the extraordinary success in Pioneer Plasma TV info.... I thought I'd ask if anyone has a list of the world's overwater bungalow hotels.....

If you want, I need a week in a 1st class establishment, (not French Polynesia - too far for one week), end June. I'd like to avoid Hurricanes, Monsoon's and the like....

Over to you extraordinary chaps at rrsport.co.uk......

Sounds like the Maldives is the perfect place for you
But I'm not sure about the rain... You can have a sunny vacation in June, but the rainy season also starts in June

Edit: This looks very nice... http://www.mabulwaterbungalows.com/photo.cfm
But I'm not sure about the location (Borneo)

I was going to suggest the Maldives too, but June isn't the time to be there - monsoon time! It'll be hot but most of the time it'll be wet too.... mind you, hot and wet might be the sort of holiday you're after  

You should give Pangkor Laut in Malaysia a try.....absolutely stunning!

Now we're talking....

Actually that was on our list of possible honeymoon destinations.... but again, is it too far to go for a week? You'd fly into KL and then connect up to somewhere more local, wouldn't you? 11hrs to KL on it's own I think let alone the connecting flight and associated mucking about. 

Yes a fair treck to get there but it's absolute quality. I worked in Malaysia for 4 years and stayed on a few occasions. On one occasion i managed to get so drunk that i proposed to the missus.................

June is no good for the Maldives - SW Monsoon at full strength - in fact Sri Lanka, West Coast of India etc are all out on account of that.

How about Zanzibar or Kenya? Or in the Atlantic there is the Cap Verde Islands. Also the Philippines would be nice then. Another nice sunny place would be the island of Masirah off the coast of Oman, although it does get a bit of SW monsoon weather

Have you thought about a cheap week away at LHR T5, sounds like BA/BAA might be looking for some people to inhabit the place by then based on their present record?

Of Course the UK is nice in June and there are timeshare places in Norfolk that are build out over a lake somewhere (They are advertised in the property section of the Sunday Times every week) only problem is they are on a Golf Course and that isn't everybody's ideal holiday location! A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

TDv8 HSE - Stornoway Grey with ebony and straight grain walnut wood-a-like interior with towpack, Tasmods. The best car I have ever owned
Now departed - Giverny Green TDv6SE with Aspen and Parchment interior - nearly the best car I have ever owned
Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

In the Maldives the connection can be as little as 30 mins on a little boat... but I see what you mean

Haven't been there so can't comment on Pangkor Laut, but it looks like the sort of place that is a bit of a haven for divers

- Bummer.

- Need overwater bungalow and blue water..... Not sure there are any there....

Paulo, what's more important? Blue water or bungalow on stilts?

Just thinking that the Red Sea has some fantastic waters (and it's not so far away)... but not sure there are any overwater bungalow resorts there
