Sleeping Beneath the Blue
Most Incredible Underwater & Underwaterview Stays Around the World
Imagine waking up not to chirping birds or rustling leaves—but to a polar bear gliding through icy waters, or walruses swimming lazily just inches from your window. Picture falling asleep beneath the waves, surrounded by the silent ballet of marine life, or watching exotic quarry fish swim past your suite. At FemmVoyage, we believe travel should be more than just a getaway—it should be a story, a memory, a dream made real.
We’ve already fallen in love with underwater rooms at Manta and Pari Daiza, and now we’re diving even deeper—literally—to explore 11 of the most enchanting underwater and underwaterview stays around the world. These are not just hotels; they’re portals into another world.
Whether you’re a luxury seeker, a wildlife lover, or simply someone chasing that “Instagram moment,” here are the top under‑sea and animal‑immersive stays that deserve a place on your bucket list.
Underwater Suites You Need on Your Bucket List
The Muraka – Conrad Maldives Rangali Island (Maldives)
Where the ocean becomes your bedroom
There are underwater stays…and then there is The Muraka — a world-famous two-level residence where your master bedroom sits five meters below the surface of the Indian Ocean. So if we’re talking next-level luxury and pure underwater glamour, The Muraka is the crown jewel. This is a two‑storey villa: the upper level floats above water, while the lower level is completely submerged. As you descend the staircase into the glass capsule, it feels like slipping into another world: soft blue light, coral shadows, and tropical fish drifting past your curved acrylic walls like living art.
Why book it?
Because nothing compares to waking up inside the ocean. It’s the kind of stay people dream of but rarely experience — utterly private, cinematic and surreal. Even above water, the villa spoils you with a private chef, butler, infinity decks and Maldivian sunsets that look almost unreal.
What makes it special?
The architecture, the engineering, the feeling of floating. It’s not just a room — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment you will talk about forever.
Price: From USD 9,000–12,000+ per night depending on season and package.
The underwater bedroom is encased in curved acrylic glass walls and ceilings, offering a 180° view of the marine life around you. Even the bathroom and closet have floor-to-ceiling glass panels so you can look out at the sea from every angle. The villa comes with all the luxuries: private butler, chef, spa treatments, and a speedboat for transfers.
