Dreamed of a stay in an overwater bungalow? How about an overwater wedding?

Sandals has made another addition to its growing portfolio of overwater experiences in the Caribbean, this time with a new over-the-water chapel at the Sandals Ochi Beach Resort in Ocho Rios.

The chapel, unveiled by The Luxury Included resort company, features 360-degree, panoramic water views and a glass floor aisle.

At 450-square feet, it will hold 40 guests and will feature decor chosen by the happy couple.

Sandals also has an overwater wedding chapel at its South Coast property.

It’s the third Caribbean overwater chapel for Sandals, which has already debuted similar chapels at its Sandals South Coast in Jamaica and Sandals Grande St. Lucian properties.
