Ever had an underwater dinner like this?

Ever imagined yourself dining underwater beneath sea creatures all around you from beautiful colorful fishes to giant dreadful sharks. Enjoying the underwater views and outnumbered sea species, the same time when you have the most delicious thai cuisines in front of you.

15 th April marks the day that the first ever all-glass undersea restaurant in the world opens its doors for business at the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa. It will sit five meters below the waves of the Indian Ocean, surrounded by a vibrant coral reef and encased in clear acrylic offering diners 270-degrees of panoramic underwater views.

It is designed using aquarium technology to put diners face-to-face with the stunning underwater environment of the Maldives. So finally we have a restaurant where diners can experience fine cuisine and take time to enjoy the views – without even getting their feet wet.

Here are some of the views of the restaurant of your dreams beneath the Indian sea. As per the general manager Carsten Schieck, people visiting his resort always comment on being blown away by the colour, clarity, and beauty of the underwater world in the Maldives and this gives him a brilliant idea of designing a resort under the ocean to avail these amazing underwater views to the visitors right from their dining table.

Created by MJ Murphy Ltd, a design consultancy based in New Zealand, its distinctive feature is the use of curved transparent acrylic walls and roof, similar to those used in aquarium attractions. The fact that the entire restaurant except for the floor is made of clear acrylic makes this unique in the world. To add to this, the designers are currently planting a coral garden on the reef to add to the spectacular views of the rays, sharks and many colorful fish that live around the area.
