World’s First Underwater Hotel Opens In Maldives

We’ve all seen stories about the lost city of Atlantis— and this could be the next best thing.

The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island has opened the world’s first underwater hotel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

That’s right— in a beautiful two-story villa 15 ft below the Indian Ocean, this luxury suite offers a private gym, bar and luxury infinity pool.

The name is “Muraka,” which translates to “coral” in the Maldives’ language of Dhivehi. 

The top floor, which sits above the water, has a “relaxation deck” so you can get some sun. The hotel is also home to Ithaa, an underwater five-star restaurant. 

Wanna book a suite? This one-of-a-kind stay will set you back a cool $200,000. 

The room goes for $50,000 per night, but you can’t actually book the Muraka for a single night. It’s sold for a minimum of four-nights, a $200,000 package that includes a personal chef and a private boat.

Parts of the Muraka were built in Singapore with special precision to ensure the protection of the environment, then transported on a ship. The hotel was lowered in place using concrete pylons that will keep it stable during rough waves or during high tide. 

P.S- Those who book this extravagant package will automatically receive Hilton Diamond status.
