An
extraordinary underwater hotel in Fiji
Imagine
yourselves spending a night at a beautiful hotel, overlooking the vast ocean
beneath you. Now imagine you could penetrate the waves with your eyes, see
the amazing underwater world, the colorful fish and algae, the otherwordly
glow of the sun through the water.
You can stop
pretending now. On the private islands of Fiji , at the Poseidon Resort, this
dream is becoming a reality.
Introducing the
first underwater 6-stars hotel!
|
|
This is the first
hotel that is completely underwater, at a depth of 12-40 feet under the
waves, in a crystal clear lagoon that offers guests a breath-taking view of
coral reefs and the fish that live around them.
|
|
|
In essence, you get to
feel like a fish kept in the most luxurious of aquariums, while the fish swim
free! How about that for reversal of positions?
|
|
|
70% of the room will
be made of plexiglas, allowing total immersion in the underwater environment.
|
|
Each suite is
carefully being designed to be totally modular, and in case of a malfunction
or maintenance, it can be raised to the surface individually.
|
|
|
The hotel is going to
include 25 suites guest suites and everything else a hotel offers.
|
|
|
Eating in incredible
style. We wonder if it's all sea food?
|
|
|
For those guests who
have had enough of this spectacular view, they will be able to darken the
glass or use 'virtual drapes' to cover them.
|
|
|
A more beautiful room
cannot exist.
|
|
|
What else is here? A
restaurant, bar, gym and even an underwater wedding chapel for those who'd
like to say their vows in a very unique setting.
|
|
|
Laying on the bed,
looking up at the sea - this is a unique experience.
|
|
|
A stylish lounge to
enjoy a drink.
|
|
|
A library offers a
great place to read while also enjoying the fish swimming by.
|
|
|
But it doesn't end
there, as guests will have access to four personal submarines that will take
them around the lagoon.
|
|
|
For those worried
about safety, the resort claims on its website that its buildings are based
on the design of passenger submarines, which it describes as 'statistically
the world's safest form of transportation'.
|
|
|
The hotel will be
accessed through a special elevator that will take them down from the beach.
|
|
|
Getting out of the
water, visitors will find tennis courts, a spa and a 9 hole golf resort
waiting for them.
However, this amazing
resort fits the pocket of the rich or those who are willing to spend for a
once-in-a-lifetime experience. Cost of a room for a week is $15,000 per
person. So if you are planning a romantic week under the sea, you'll have to
shell $30,000 for the experience.
