World’s Best Underwater Hotels

If you’ve ever dreamt of living out a real life version of The Little Mermaid, here’s your chance. Check out these incredibly beautiful, and slightly claustrophobic, hotels located under the sea.

Resort World, Singapore

Singapore saw the initial success of Sea World, and decided to one-up them a bit. Instead of watching sea creatures from a set of stands, guests at Resort World can watch the whales and dolphins swim by while lying in bed. The resort features two-level townhouses, one with living and dining spaces above water, and another with bedrooms beneath.

Lover’s Deep, St. Lucia

Lover’s Deep is situated below the waves in one of the most striking places on Earth — the Caribbean. The luxury submarine doesn’t try to hide the fact it caters to people looking for a little alone time, and where else are you going to get your groove on while floating alongside a tiger shark?

Manta Underwater Hotel

The Manta Underwater Hotel is anchored off the coast of Zanzibar and offers an upscale, resort-style experience featuring three different levels of above and underwater fun. Up top you’ll find a wonderful lounge and landing deck. Below, the rooms offer 360 degrees of underwater panoramas and an endless array of fish and other sea life.

Jules’ Undersea Lodge, Florida

Jules’ Undersea Lodge is the oldest underwater hotel in the world. It’s also the only one that provides true adventure, as you have to scuba dive 21 feet just to get to the entrance through the bottom. If you can brave that, you’re treated with a cozy hotel with beautiful bedrooms, a small restaurant and plenty of gorgeous views.
