A hotel in Maldives offers a private villa that comes with 1 room that is located underwater, other 2 bedrooms are above surface and within the same private residence that comes with other luxury facilities and services including a team of butlers residing in their quarter. It this safe? This is the obvious question. After the Oceangate incident it is very likely that tourists would be more concerned of their safety while attempting to go underwater. On the other hand, scuba diving has been around for so many years, accidents do happen very rarely and it is mostly due to not following the procedures.
About the resort that offers underwater hotel accommodation, they started an underwater restaurant a decade ago and opened the underwater room in 2018. The design in both are same and we believe the company that constructed both are also the same. Time proves this to be safe for any reasonable mind, if you have a phobia of some kind that is another topic and this kind of thrill holidays are not for everyone, just like scuba diving. Guests who are not confident about scuba diving can simply, both are enjoyable and addictive. Only thing is that if you start diving you are less likely to prefer snorkeling.
To quench your thrill to experience something extraordinary you do not have to dive to the depth of sunken Titanic or go to space with Jeff Bezos. Where to go then? Head to Conrad Maldives Rangali Island and stay in their Muraka residence. It has an underwater bedroom and another master bedroom above the water. A third twin bedroom is there above the water for children. This make it ideal for the perfect family getaway. There is a butler quarter located within the residence, it can accommodate about 4 staff and a nanny. There private residence comes with kitchen, dining area and outdoor pool within loungers. If you want to plunge into the sea water of the Indian Ocean there is a ladder to climb up to the deck and outdoor shower to rinse off.
Even though you are on holiday you may want to stay in shape, despite more intake of delicious foods it may be a concern that if you go out of shape it may be difficult to get it back. So, a mini-gym is conveniently located within the villa. The resort also provide a private security who is also responsible monitoring safety aspects.
