    Tile is an option. Also check out vinyl squares of sheets or planks.

    Sgu333, I would stick with stone or tile. Vinyl may work, depending on the amount of humidity and the solubility of the glue used to put it down. I would stay away from anything wood, as it will soak up water continually and not last very long unless you can get bamboo or teak. Good luck.

    Bamboo flooring is considered to be the best wood for situations where humidity is an issue. Also use an a underlayment that has a moisture barrier.
