Ithaa Undersea Restaurant, Maldives

The romantic and unusual restaurants can be found not only high in the mountains and in tree tops, but also under the water. In 2005, Ithaa ('Pearl') - the first underwater restaurant in the world - was opened in the Maldives. The restaurant immediately became one of the most famous and chic restaurants on earth. It lies on the depth of about 5 meters and is located in the small transparent capsule. Through the transparent vaulted ceilings and the hall walls one can enjoy the beauty of the underwater world. To enter the underwater restaurant, guests have to descend the spiral staircase from the special deck.

The restaurant specializes in the dishes of Maldivian cuisine. In his menu you can find many exquisite delicacies. The restaurant is located on the picturesque island of Rengali and is part of the luxurious Hilton Worldwide hotel, which is popular among the richest tourists. The technical design of the restaurant is quite simple. Its dome is made of lightweight high-strength acrylic glass, which is commonly used for decorative aquariums.

The high-strength glass holds high pressure, so the underwater restaurant is not only fairy-tale beautiful, but also quite safe. 'Pearl' is one of the most unique and expensive restaurants in the world. The average price of lunch for two people is about 120 US dollars. The dining room can accommodate up to 14 people, so it is recommended to book the table for at least 2 weeks. Next - Dining Pod Restaurant
