Short answer: H2O is covalent.
Long answer: Oxygen is more electronegative than Hydrogen so it attaracts the electrons in the covalent bond towards itself and so becomes slightly negative. The hydrogen becomes equally and oppositely positively charged due to the rearrangement of the electrons. It is therefore polar. It can be considered both covalent and ionic because the negative Oxygen is attracted to the positive Hydrogen ionically.

What type of bonds holds atoms together in a water molecule?
Covalent Bond .
Why covalent bond insoluble in water?
covalent bond is a bond formed by sharing of electron of an atom. covalent bond is stronger than ionic bond.
What type of covalent bond form in a water molecule?
Polar covalent bond
What type of bond present in a water molecule?
COVALENT bond is present in water
Can a nonpolar covalent bond dissolve in water?
No, because water is polar and polar dissolves in polar then non polar covalent bond cannot dissolve in water.
