Underwater Hotels
- It’s not about where you go, but what you find when you get there
Dive deep for these underwater accommodations and enjoy a seascape instead of a landscape outside the window of your hotel suite.
Atlantis, The Palm
Dubai, UAE
Two underwater suites dubbed “Neptune” and “Poseidon” complement the architectural wonder that is Atlantis, The Palm— the luxury resort crown of Dubai’s world-famous Palm Island. These suites’ floor-to-ceiling windows look out on Ambassador Lagoon, an aquarium that depicts the lost city of Atlantis and contains around 65,000 sea creatures. atlantis.com
Reefsuites at Reefworld
Whitsunday Islands, Australia
The first underwater accommodations Down Under deliver an amazing vantage point of the Great Barrier Reef, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The experience begins with a 40-mile ocean journey in a high-speed boat out to Reefworld, an intimate pontoon moored in an environmentally gentle manner. After a day of top-shelf cuisine and water activities, you retire to the subsurface Reefsuites, where frolicking sea life takes center stage. cruisewhitsundays.com
