Top 10 Best Underwater Hotels in the World
Top 10 Best Underwater Hotels in the World

Underwater resorts are still largely a product of a vivid imagination. Some hotels are in the planning stage, some are currently under construction, but a few hotels already offer the possibility to spend a holiday with the fishes. From partially submerged luxury suites to actual submarine stays, I hereby present you the top 10 most spectacular underwater hotels on the planet.

There is more info below the slide show. Think I missed one? Share your favorite underwater hotel in the comments section, or take my poll below!

The 380 room Shimao Wonderland InterContinental is currently being built on the site of an abandoned quarry in Songjiang, China, around 30 miles from Shanghai. It will become one of the flagship hotels of the InterContinental Hotel group, and, notably, will features several rooms underwater as the abandoned quarry will be partially filled with water to create an artificial lake. There will be two underwater floors, the lowest of which will have a swimming pool. Construction of the hotel is estimated to be completed by 2017, only 2 years behind the originally planned 2015 completion date.

Boutique hotel Huvafen Fushi was one of the Maldives’ pioneer hotels and still delivers. It is located in a ridiculously clear lagoon, where you can relax on your own private stretch of sugar white sand, snorkel in one of the Maldives best house reefs, or swim in the lagoon-like infinity-edged pool. Huvafen Fushi’s spa, LIME,  has 6 overwater pavilions in addition to the world’s first underwater treatment rooms. Soft cushions evoke the tactile versions of the corals and sponges and the slow rhythmic flow of the water, punctuated by the spectral colours of tropical fish.

It may not be on the same island as Huvafen Fushi, but the world’s first underwater club – Subsix – is also in the Maldives. Located within the superb Niyama resort, Subsix is situated 500 metres (1650 feet) out in the ocean and six metres (20 feet) below the waterline, and it is accessible to anyone. From private Champagne breakfasts, intimate subaquatic lunches, wedding blessings to wine tastings, themed evenings and club nights, you can chill out and enjoy the good life. Or, alternatively, you can dance the night away in this incredible underwater club while looking into the depths of the Indian Ocean.

POSEIDON RESORT, FIJI

The world’s ultimate underwater resort is currently under construction in Fiji. Once it opens, the resort claims it will be the culmination of every elite vacationer’s vision. Accessible via a lift from the shore of the Viti Levu island, the resort’s 25 suites will be located forty feet under the sea in an off-shore lagoon, and boast wall-to-ceiling windows and underwater lights, promising eye-popping views of multi-coloured marine life. However, there are fears it may end up a wash out: the resort has delayed its opening until 2020, despite 150,000 guests lining up to pay $10,000 to stay.
