There is nothing quite as alluring as the beauty of the deep blue sea. It has been fascinating people for thousands of years from sailors to writers, from divers to regular tourists. And though in the old days ‘sleeping with the fishes’ in mafia jargon meant something completely different and not attractive at all, later it became possible in a very positive and more literal way, being the ultimate token of high-class travel. Check out these five places where you can make your dreams come true and fall to sleep by counting fish.
1. Conrad Rangali Island Resort, Maldives
Hello, luxury! We couldn’t but start with this incredible place opened in late 2018 – the Muraka Rangali Island Resort known also as the “world’s first underwater villa.” The villa which has sleeping chambers underwater and the living facilities including butler’s quarters above sea level provides a completely unique experience of the Maldives. Just exquisite!
2. Manta Underwater Room, Manta Resort, Tanzania
If you’re up for some luxury mixed with Robinson tourism, Manta Resort with its underwater room is a perfect choice for you. Located in the Zanzibar archipelago, off Pemba Island, you will enjoy all three levels of the floating structure – the sundeck, the lounge above the sea level, and sleeping chambers surrounded by the turquoise blue sea. The views of the African coastline and the Indian Ocean are simply breathtaking!
3. Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore
One of the Asia’s favorite destinations, Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore, boasts eleven Ocean Suites.
