Over water bungalows first appeared in French Polynesia, on the island of Moorea, during the 1960s.
Three Californian men known as the Bali Hai Boys
extended their resort, Club Bali Hai Moorea, pictured left,
into the reef-protected lagoon and created the first over water bungalows, called Bali Hai.
The idea soon spread to elsewhere in Tahiti and the South Pacific, eventually expanding to Maldives and later, the Caribbean, during the 1980s.
