Over-the-water bungalows (a.k.a. palafitos) have been around since the Bronze Age. But they were designed to elevate their inhabitants from rats. Today they are on every luxury traveler’s bucketlist planning a vacation in Bora Bora or Tahiti. Glass aquarium floors and direct ladder access to the water are just a few of the perks. Luckily for everyone who doesn’t have the budget or time to fly to French Polynesia they have finally landed in Mexico’s Riviera Maya.

Miami’s South Beach can get a shallow rap for late-night clubbing, short bikinis, and slow-revving Ferraris cruising down Ocean Drive. Equally part of the classic South Beach experience however is the rich Art Deco architecture, world-class art and museums, and international foodie scene that features some of the best restaurants and bars in the country. The white sand beaches and Bahamian-colored water don’t hurt either. Get over your stereotypes and prepare to become uninhibited.
