I WANT TO STAY AT THIS UNDERWATER HOTEL



The Muraka is a Hilton underwater hotel, which is part of the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island. Submerged 16 feet below sea level, this two-level villa debuted in November 2018 and has a master bedroom and a bathroom, both featuring floor-to-ceiling glass walls to take in the Indian Ocean's marine life. The word muraka translates to coral in the local language of Dhivehi.

At sea level, guests can enjoy two bedrooms and a bathroom, an outdoor deck with an infinity pool, 24-hour butler service, and access to a private chef. You can also have a fitness trainer and reserve some spa treatments in your suite.

If you are traveling with children, the resort will set up a teepee in the undersea suite, complete with a pillow fort and treats selected by you. The resort also offers a kids' club and Junior Diving Course.

The suite sleeps up to nine people, and prices start at $50,000 per night. You can arrive at Muraka via a private seaplane or travel from Conrad Maldives Rangali on a speedboat, which you can keep for the duration of your stay. Access to private jet skis is also available.

The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island opened its first undersea restaurant a decade ago. Considered a first-of-its-kind, the Ithaa (meaning "mother of pearl") restaurant, also located 16 feet below sea level, is surrounded by coral gardens and has set menus featuring a six-course meal.

Address: Rangali Island Rangali, 20077, Maldives
