Underwater Restaurant November 4, 2010 by lukesheppard

Want to dine with the fishes? Then this undersea restaurant is a little diamond of a restaurant. Found in the Maldives Hilton Resort and Spa on Rangali Island is the Ithaa restaurant – Ithaa meaning ‘pearl’ in the local Dhivehi language, is set 16 feet underwater.

It’s cylindrical shape offers 180 degree panoramic views of the underwater world where you will find yourself surrounded by gorgeous fish , sharks, coral and other sea life. Guests who dine at the 12-seated restaurant can enjoy drinks on a deck which over looks the Indian Ocean. They are then taken down a spiral staircase to the restaurant where they can enjoy a four course contemporary Maldivian feast with a glass of wine from the prestigious Champagne house Louis Roederer. If this sounds like your sort of dining, it will set you back about $187 to $220 per person, but what a unique experience
