lagoon resort

Coastal vacation destination

A lagoon resort is a vacation property built around or adjacent to a lagoon—a shallow body of water separated from the sea by sandbars or coral reefs.

The term evokes tropical destinations with calm, turquoise waters: We honeymooned at a lagoon resort in Fiji.

Many feature overwater bungalows or direct lagoon access from rooms.
