12 AMAZING Underwater Hotel Rooms For A Night Beneath The Waves
Ever dreamed of waking up surrounded by a shimmering world of marine life, where fish drift past your window and the ocean itself feels like part of your suite’s décor? Well, you don’t need to grow gills or move to Atlantis, because underwater hotels exist, and they are breathtaking.
These one-of-a-kind stays take “room with a view” to a whole new level. Some let you watch manta rays glide past your bedroom, others require a scuba dive just to check in, and one even doubles as a submarine that cruises through the Caribbean.
The only thing deeper than the ocean is your love for these places. Let’s go!
1. The Muraka At Conrad Maldives Rangali Island
Imagine waking up to a 180-degree view of the ocean floor! Curious fish peek into your bedroom and rays glide past like silent guardians. The Muraka is the world’s first underwater villa!

The transition from sunlit deck to the dreamlike underwater suite is seamless—like stepping through a portal into a deep-sea fantasy.
2. Atlantis, The Palm – Underwater Suites
If Poseidon had a penthouse, it would probably look something like this. At Atlantis, The Palm, the Underwater Suites transport you into a mesmerizing world where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the mythical Ambassador Lagoon.
You don’t just sleep here. You float among 65,000 marine creatures, from elegant rays to majestic sharks!
Step outside, and you’re in the heart of a resort that boasts world-class dining, an epic waterpark, and celebrity-approved beach clubs. But honestly, with a private aquatic kingdom right in your room, why would you ever leave?

This one’s for the true adventurers! At Jules’ Undersea Lodge, you have to scuba dive to check in. Yes, you read that right.
This former research lab is now an intimate underwater retreat, offering a stay that feels equal parts James Bond and Jacques Cousteau.
Once inside, the cozy space welcomes you with round windows that frame a constantly shifting aquatic ballet. Watch as barracudas and parrotfish glide by while you sip coffee in bed. It’s not five-star luxury, but it’s five-star adventure! Especially when pizza is delivered underwater by a diving concierge.

Ever wanted to sleep on the Great Barrier Reef—literally? Reefsuites makes it possible. Moored in the heart of one of the world’s greatest natural wonders, this floating hotel hides a secret: below deck, underwater suites provide a front-row seat to the marine spectacle of a lifetime.
From your bed, you can gaze out at a parade of neon-colored fish, graceful turtles, and even the occasional reef shark.
Unlike typical hotels, here the view never stays the same. Every moment reveals something new, something wild, something alive. And when you’re ready to explore, snorkeling and diving excursions are just a short splash away.
5. InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland – Underwater View Suites
Built into the remnants of an abandoned quarry, the InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland is a jaw-dropping architectural marvel. It’s like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. While most hotels go up, this one plunges down, with two levels dipping below water, offering a surreal underwater stay.
The room itself is a masterclass in modern luxury, blending sleek design with soft lighting that mirrors the gentle ripples outside. It’s futuristic yet soothing, making you feel like you’re floating between two worlds.

6. Resorts World Sentosa – Equarius Ocean Suites
Ever wanted to wake up next to a school of fish—without actually being in the ocean? The Equarius Ocean Suites at Resorts World Sentosa turn that dream into reality, offering a two-level stay where your bedroom is an intimate front-row seat to the mesmerizing Open Ocean habitat at S.E.A. Aquarium.
By day, your suite is a stylish living space with a private patio and Jacuzzi. But as night falls, the magic happens! Descend into the bedroom, and suddenly, you’re surrounded by a dazzling blue world where manta rays and groupers glide by like slow-motion dancers.
It’s like living inside a nature documentary, minus the voiceover.
7. Utter Inn Hotel
If a traditional Swedish red cabin and an underwater research station had a baby, it would be the Utter Inn. From the outside, it looks like a tiny floating cottage on Lake Mälaren. But beneath the surface?
A secluded, windowed bedroom where you can drift to sleep while fish curiously inspect the strange human in their world.
This one-room hotel is delightfully simple! There’re no butlers, no room service, just you, a bed, and the silent underwater ballet of perch and pike. Want fresh air? Climb back up to the sun-drenched deck and soak in the stillness of the lake, surrounded by nothing but water and sky.
8. The Aqua Villa Experience At Pullman
At the Pullman Maldives, the Aqua Villas offer a rare treat: a split-level paradise where you can choose between above or below the water.
One floor is your classic Maldivian overwater villa—sun-soaked, stylish, and dripping in luxury. But head downstairs, and suddenly, you’re in an underwater haven where the marine world unfolds before your eyes.
The floor-to-ceiling windows in the submerged bedroom turn the ocean into living art. Schools of fish weave through coral formations, and if you’re lucky, a reef shark or two might cruise by for a visit. The feeling? Pure magic. It’s like you’re part of the sea, rather than just looking at it.
9. Poseidon Undersea Resort – Planned
The mythical Poseidon Undersea Resort has been teased for years, promising an underwater kingdom straight out of a dream.

The vision? A James Bond-worthy retreat where guests can dine, sleep, and relax beneath the waves. It’s completely immersed in the cerulean depths of the Pacific.
The design draws inspiration from futuristic sea stations, blending cutting-edge technology with island luxury. If you’ve ever wondered what life in an underwater city might feel like, this is it.
10. Subsix At Niyama Private Islands

The interior? A glowing, ethereal dreamscape. Chandeliers inspired by anemones dangle from the ceiling, while plush seating and deep-blue lighting make the entire space feel like a luxurious coral cave.
By day, Subsix transforms into a dining haven, serving up champagne breakfasts and seafood feasts. By night, the music pulses, the drinks flow, and dancing with the fishes takes on a whole new meaning. If mermaids threw raves, this is where they’d be.
11. Huvafen Fushi – Ocean Bungalows
The overwater bungalows are already the stuff of dreams. But what sets this resort apart is its underwater spa. Yes, a real spa, submerged beneath the turquoise waves, where you can get a massage while manta rays drift past in hypnotic slow motion.
Above the water, your private bungalow is a slice of paradise. There’s an infinity pool that spills into the endless blue. Inside, glass floors let you watch the marine life beneath your feet—because why settle for a regular room when your floor can be alive?
The atmosphere is effortlessly romantic, making it a top pick for honeymooners and anyone who believes luxury should come with a view of the sea.
