Sandals Resorts International has debuted its newest overwater bungalows in the Caribbean, this time on the south coast of Jamaica.

The company opened its 12 new over-the-water bungalows to guests at the Sandals South Coast resort this weekend.

The bungalows are accessed by a heart-shaped pier, and include the brand’s signature tranquility soaking tubs, glass vision floor panels and lit water.

The collection of bungalows is also accompanied by the brand’s first-ever overwater bar, called “Latitudes.”

Guests also get 24/7 butler service, in-room dining and resort access via a “Royal Duffy” boat.
