Photos: Checkout The World's First Underwater Restaurant


With all-glass windows from floor to ceiling, sitting five metres below the surface of the Indian Ocean, this is the world's first underwater restaurant. Boasting unrivalled views of sharks, stingrays, turtles and stunning coral, the five-star eatery at the Conrad Maldives Hotel was built so that guests can enjoy the beauty of the ocean without getting their feet wet. Set under the crystal-clear blue water, the restaurant is so bright, diners and staff are required to wear sunglasses. The restaurant is so bright, that diners and staff are required to wear sunglasses, plus a diner costs over £190(51,000naira)

It serves contemporary European cuisine in a six-course set dinner menu - including dishes such as caviar and lobster for dinner while the four-course lunch menu offers lighter fare. The restaurant is also open for mid-morning cocktails and can be booked privately for breakfast, weddings or other special occasions. The ingeniously designed restaurant has never had water inside, instead it was built on dry land in Singapore before workers carefully lowered it into the ocean in one piece. The structure cost a staggering £3m (81 million naira) to build and weighs 175 tonnes, with another 85 tonnes of sand ballast used to weigh it down. See more photos below...
