HOLA MATEY :)
-----------------
Because it can form hydrogen bonds between its molecules.
The greater the forces of attraction, the higher the boiling point, or the greater the polarity, the higher the boiling point. Water molecules in liquid state have the ability to form hydrogen bonds with each other. These hydrogen bonds are some of the strongest of all intermolecular forces, so a large amount of energy is needed to break these interactions − this is the main reason why water has such a high relative boiling point.
