This is the list of top 10 Floating Hotels around the world... Enjoy...

No 10 - Six Senses

Soneva Gili, Male, Maldives
Guests reach the secluded floating hotel via a 15-minute boat ride from the capital city of Male, before checking into their own private over-water villas...
No 9 - Punta Caracol

Panama, South America
Not only are guests able to stay above the shimmering waters of the Caribbean Sea, but they are also able to take in dolphins frolicking in the surf, trips into the rain forests and fishing and snorkeling on the nearby reef.
No 8 - Bora Bora Lagoon Resort & Spa

Bora Bora, French Polynesia
Highly recommended is an end-of-pontoon bungalow, from which you’ll be able to enjoy a view of the looming 2,385-foot Mount Otemanu.
No 7 - Dragon Inn Floating Resort

Semporna, Malaysia
Built on the sea near Semporna, the Dragon Inn Floating Resort -- or Semporna Floating, as it is otherwise known -- offers guests sumptuous rooms on stilts and a unique paradise island resort with palm-leaf roofing.
No 6 - Floating & Rotating Hotel Tower

Dubai, UAE
When it's completed, Waterstudio’s Floating & Rotating Hotel Tower will rise 25 stories off the coast of Dubai. The hotel will also rotate one-degree every minute or so, meaning it will be a truly remarkable experience for those privileged enough to enjoy a stay.
No 5 - Conrad Maldives

Rangali Island, Maldives
Set across two private islands in the shimmering turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, it’s hardly surprising that the Conrad Maldives is a favorite among the rich and famous. While some of its amenities are indeed built on land, much of the resort is built with water in mind -- such as the 50 luxurious water villas, the all-glass undersea restaurant and the 21 spa water villas with private treatment rooms.
No 4 - Aerohotel

Can be built anywhere
With global warming threatening population displacement, the allure of waterborne hotels is ever increasing and nobody knows this better than forward-thinking visionaries like Russian architect Alexander Asadov. His solution to the problem is the floating Aerohotel, a spaceship-like hotel concept that is held above the water via an elegant system of supports. By building the hotel above the water rather than on it, the design preserves the environment beneath it and saves the need for any damaging man-made islands to be built. Features of the hotel include hanging gardens, cafes and restaurants, as well as a nifty landing strip for a Zeppelin.
No 3 - Oberoi Udaivilas

Udaipur, India
Guests at the hotel are treated to the architecture of a traditional Indian palace, complete with romantic courtyards, trickling fountains and manicured gardens. The interior isn’t too shabby either, with embellished domes, hand-painted frescoes, flamboyant mirrors, and authentic artifacts. Guests can choose to lounge in their suite’s own private pools that overlook the lake, or enjoy a spot of yoga and mediation on an al fresco terrace.
No 2 - ReefWorld

Great Barrier Reef, Australia
While it’s caused something of a stir among placard-wielding campaigners when the concept was first introduced, a project called ReefWorld has been given the go-ahead by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. The brainchild of British architect firm Richard Hywel Evans, ReefWorld will offer a full underwater spa, eight submerged bedrooms, glass-walled bathrooms and a research facility right on top of Australia’s stunning Great Barrier Reef. The hotel also claims to be the world’s first eco-friendly floating hotel, able to generate its own heat and electricity using a mixture of turbines, solar panels and underwater trickle-charge generators.
No 1 - King Pacific Lodge

British Columbia, Canada
Built atop a floating barge to avoid impacting the environment, King Pacific Lodge is quite a sight to behold. Enabling guests to experience pristine wilderness without sacrificing on five-star comfort and opting for a shoddy tent, the hotel is accessed via a floatplane, and is towed in to Princess Royal Island from May to October. While it’s certainly not cheap, at $3,842-per-person (CDN) for a three-night package deal, guests are offered 17 oversize suites with king-size beds and hot-tubs, a Michelin-worthy dining room offering local delicacies and fish from the water below, as well as al fresco activities such as fishing, hiking and kayaking. No wonder the likes of Kevin Costner have been spotted here.
