Dubai: Water Discus Hotel
Dubai is arguably the deluxe capital of the world, so it’s just amazing that the United Arab Emirates wishes to make the largest undersea hotel in the world.
Dubai revealed its designs in 2012, and the above-water portion of the planned Water Discus hotel looks like an opulent cluster of UFOs — albeit with a sunbathing deck.
Under the surface will be 21 luxe rooms, a too-generous lobby and a directing pool for scuba diving. The designer, Deep Ocean Technology, targets to launch numerous Water Discus hotels around the world — the Maldives declared plans for its own Discus in June 2013.
Sweden: Utter Inn
The Utter Inn may lack the jaw-dropping luxury of other resorts on this list, but at least this Swedish submarine hotel really subsists.
Half of the inn, which Mikael Genberg produced as an art project in 2000, is visible as a red shed-like structure floating atop Lake Mälaren in Vasteras. Clients scuttle down a ladder to reach the simple underwater living rooms
quartersChina: Shimao Wonderland
The Wonderland wins the prize for the most incredible location: an abandoned, partly flooded rock quarry in Shanghai.
The projects for this “cave hotel,” which will feature two submerged floors, were proposed for a World Buildings Directory project prize in 2009. The underwater portion will admits a water sports complex, health club, swimming pool, eating place and client rooms that face a “themed” aquarium (whatever that means). The section on ground will offer utmost sports such as rock climbing and bungee jumping across the quarry.
The sustainability-focused hotel doesn’t look on track to open as projected in 2013, but initial structure has reportedly begun.
Florida: Jules’ Undersea Lodge
Named for “20,000 conferences beneath the Sea” source Jules Verne, the lodge is only to open-for-business hotels on this list.
It was before built in the 1970s as a “mobile submarine habitat,” but it was converted to a hotel in the 1980s. The no-frills digs are actually aimed at scuba-ers who enjoy and have the power to well slip out for a dive.
“When clients visit Jules’ Undersea Lodge in Key Largo, Fla., they find that the name is no marketing gimmick,” the hotel’s site reads. “Only to enter the Lodge, one must really scuba dive 21 feet below the surface of the sea.”
Per-night charges range from $675 per person for single occupancy to $300 a pop for huger groups. Jules even offers underwater weddings.
Fiji: Poseidon Undersea Resort
L. Bruce Jones, the president of U.S. Submarines, has been processing on the Poseidon submarine Resort for more than ten years. The five-star hotel is adjust to be built on a 225-acre private island in Fiji, enclosed by a 5,000-acre lagoon.
The as-yet-unlaunched Poseidon bills itself as deluxe lodging for the venturous sort — to the tune of $15,000 or some more for an underwater package. Activities will include flying a personal Triton submarine, scuba diving in the lagoon’s crystalize water and riding as a rider on a 1,000-foot deluxe submersible.
Those desiring to be future invitees at Poseidon are welcomed to early registered on the hotel’s website, just the 150,000 folks who have already registered could be waiting for a while. Reported to the New York Times, Jones and his workers have been processing on the hotel projects since 2001 — and it was actually slated to open in 2009.
But that hasn’t stopped Jones. In April 2013, Poseidon said it’s already scoping out views for a second resort.
Maldives: Conrad Maldives Rangali Islands
“Suppose telling your friends that you celebrated your love under the water in the world’s solely glass underwater chapel placed five meters below the waves, fenced by a vibrant coral reef!” crows the Rangali Islands website. Surely, it’s what you’ve always thought.
This luxe-to-the-max, six-star hotel is mostly surface, cover two individual islands that are connected by a 500-meter bridge. Under the surface, however, lies the fancy Ithaa submarine Restaurant.
Guests can just dine at the Ithaa, but the Hilton-owned hotel is also pleased to convert the restaurant into a wedding ceremony location for a much — and surely incredible — cost. One choice admits a celebration “in the heart of a stunning coral reef” in which the happy couple dives into the Indian sea (diving gear costs extra, of course).
