Many cases, it offers more space. I believe when I visited the Beach Accommodations at St. Regis, it was a duplex, thus, more space and direct beach access. Closer to the pool, whale bar and Aba restaurant as well, or at least it felt like it.

Cheval Blanc often sells their beach villas more than the overwater option as well.

We also visited One & Only prior to St. Regis Maldives and it was a no brainer for us to stay in the beach villa over the over water option there, based on our personal taste.

But I hope you'll enjoy it, no matter which you end up in!
This. I liked the St Regis OWV, but having seen the beach villas I think I’ll take one next time if I go. The pool is also guaranteed to be warm as it isn’t covered by a roof so it’ll be warm regardless of which way you’re facing.

Also if you have kids etc., may be less complicated.
