Family and Two-Bedroom Water Villas
Almost every water villa is built for two people, so the ones that sleep four are a small and specific set. This list covers two-bedroom and connecting villas over the lagoon, and the practical questions parents actually ask: does the deck have rails, how deep is the water under the ladder, is the pool fenced, how far is the walk to the kids club in the middle of the day. Several resorts set a minimum age for a water villa and put families on the beach instead, and we name them rather than pretend otherwise. We rank on the layout, the safety of the deck, and how the second bedroom is arranged.
