ProTraveller blog has a neat post about 10 of the coolest hotel suites I'll never be able to afford. Oh well, here's what most of us just have to satisfy ourselves with while counting our meager savings: amazing photos of amazing hotels around the world.
This one above is the Over-Water Bungalows at Le Meridien, Bora Bora:
Located in the Pacific Ocean, Bora Bora is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. To take full advantage of this natural beauty, the over-water bungalows at Le Meridien are a great choice. Each private bungalow is built upon stilts just above the ocean, so you can literally take a few stairs down from your bungalow to the ocean for a swim in the warm, turquoise water.

It was so. freakin. BREATHTAKING.
Plus, it was actually floating! D:
The bungalows are arranged in three separate villages and oriented to views and sunlight with privacy as a key consideration. Each village is near the beach, swimming areas and communal pavilion.
There are six Overwater End of Pontoon Bungalows located at the end of the connecting teak walkways offering unobstructed views of Mt. Otemanu and the alluring blue lagoon.
Each bungalow is furnished with a king bed and a private deck from where steps lead directly into the lagoon. The beautiful underwater sea life can be admired or fed through the illuminated glass-topped coffee table.
