Do I need land for an overwater villa resort development?
The minimal land area required for over water villa developments is an often overlooked strategy, yet is often one of the most lucrative, with very low costs of entry but a high level of demand and often commanding higher room rates than the equivalent land based villas.
Aside from the purely financial aspect, over water villas have other attractive attributes to enhance occupancy, such as.
Eco-Friendly Design – Overwater villas typically feature eco-friendly designs that minimize their environmental impact. They use sustainable materials, implement efficient waste management systems, and integrate renewable energy sources, such as solar power. Moreover, they are built to coexist harmoniously with the surrounding marine and coastal ecosystems.
Preservation of Natural Beauty – By developing over the water, you can preserve the land’s natural beauty and ecosystems while still offering a high-end and appealing accommodation option to guests. This sustainable approach supports the local environment’s preservation and contributes to responsible tourism.
Exclusive and Unique Experience – Overwater villas offer an exclusive and distinctive experience to guests, making them willing to pay a premium for this unique accommodation. The allure of staying above the water, enjoying direct access to the sea, and experiencing breath-taking views contributes to their popularity.
