Can you imagine sleeping surrounded by a tropical marine environment? Relaxation at its best!
Underwater accommodations seem to have become a trend among hotels in recent years offering the incredible experience of “Sleeping with the fishes” but few destinations do it better than the Indian Ocean Islands off of East Africa – more precisely the remote island of Pemba.
The Manta Resort recently unveiled its Underwater Room, a three-floor suite that floats beside a thriving coral reef and boasts a submerged master bedroom surrounded by windows to view the local sea life.
The room officially opened for guests on 1 November. The Manta Resort’s site notes that the room is $750 per person/room/night for double occupancy($1500) or $900 room/night for single occupancy. It can be booked in combination with a land stay at the resort for a night or two or for the duration of you stay if you budget allows.
The nightly price includes the resort’s extensive all-inclusive plan. Instead of buffets they serve your meals personally to you at your table on our verandah. They have free WIFI in the main lounge and dining area and include a daily spa treatment per person at their Kipepeo Spa so you can be as relaxed as possible.
Besides a double bed to lie on, the room features two large windows on each wall, giving an almost total 360-degree view of the water around it
The unusual new room floats almost 250 m (820 ft) away from the coast and is held in place by several anchoring lines leading to the ocean floor.
Sleep under the stars to the soft murmuring of the sea.
The floating hotel room is actually situated in the center of a blue hole, an area of the coral reef approximately 50 m (164 ft) wide where the sea drops to 12 m (39 ft) deep during high tide.
