World's first-ever undersea villa

The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is to open what is believed to be the world's first undersea residence. It has cost $15million to build and gives unparalleled views of the Indian Ocean and the wildlife at every turn. The undersea suite features a king-size bedroom below the water, living area, bathroom and spiral staircase.

 It's a two-deck affair, with the lower deck sitting five meters (16ft) beneath the waves. It has a bedroom, living space and bathroom and, of course, swathes of glass so that guests can gaze at the colourful local sea life swimming past, wherever they are in the complex.

The suite, named the Muraka, has cost $15million to build and will give guests unparalleled views of the Indian Ocean. The residence was designed by architects the Crown Company and is being built by New Zealand-based M J Murphy Limited, which specialises in aquarium technology. 

Up top, guests will find a twin-size bedroom, bathroom, powder room, gym, butler’s quarters, private security quarters, integrated living room, kitchen, bar and a dining room with a deck that faces the direction of the sunset. On the opposite side of the villa sits a relaxation deck that faces the direction of sunrise and an infinity swimming pool. The upper level also contains an additional king-size bedroom and bathroom, which boasts an ocean-facing bathtub, ideal for soaking in views of the endless horizon. The Muraka undersea suite is set to open at the end of 2018.
