For once in a life time.,it's an opportunity to sleep with the fishes that doesn't mean you end up like a character in a mob movie.
The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island has opened the world's first-ever underwater hotel residence.
More than just a room or a suite, the two-story villa is set more than 16 feet below the Indian Ocean. It's name is Muraka which means coral in the Maldives local language Dhivehi.
In addition to a bed, shower and the other typical components of a hotel room, the Muraka takes luxury travel to another level with a private gym, a bar, an infinity pool, butler's quarters, an ocean-facing bathtub and most importantly an underwater bedroom with unparalleled views of the ocean.

The top floor, which is above the water, has a relaxation deck where you can sun yourself.
The price tag? A cool $50,000 per night, although you can't actually book the Mukara for single night stays - it's only accessible via a night, $200,000 package that includes a personal chef for all meals and the use of a private boat.
The Mukara isn't the first underwater venture at the hotel. The property is home to Ithaa, an underwater five-star restaurant.
The Mukara is connected to the rest of the resort - including the Ithaa - by jetty, in case you want to leave your blissful seclusion to mingle with other non-aquatic life forms.
The process of building the Mukara was carefully considered to be respectful to the environment. Everything was built in Singapore - on land - and then brought to the Maldives on a local ship.
Once the residence was lowered into the water, it was nailed into place with concrete pylons that will keep it from shifting during rough waves or at high tide
Not quite ready to eat and sleep below the sea? The Conrad is also home to several floating villas, should you want to just get your feet wet.
Incase u want to go for a tour around and in the ocean you can this hotel for a better experience.
