Condé Nast’s Favourite Underwater Hotels

It takes a great deal of planning to pull off an underwater hotel, but when you get it right travel experts Condé Nast might come knocking.

You know you’re living in the lap of luxury when your hotel is underwater, at least in circumstances where that’s part of management’s plans.

Condé Nast know travel, so when they put a list together we usually sit up and take notice.

This time around they’re focusing on aquatic accommodation, selecting their 11 coolest underwater hotels. We’re going to select five that float our boat so let’s dive right in.

Located nearly 20 feet below the Indian Ocean, Subsix earns bragging rights as the world’s first underwater club. The floor-to-ceiling windows lining the walls of the bar provide spectacular night views of the illuminated ocean floor. More than 545 yards from the coast, Subsix is only accessible by boat.

Singapore: Resort World Sentosa

Head to the aptly named Sea at Anantara Kihavah Villas. The mirrored interior reflects the surrounding Indian Ocean sea life, as you dine at the restaurant that doubles as an underwater wine cellar.

The Utter Inn offers a single underwater room floating in a Swedish lake near Stockholm, and holds just twin beds and a table.

Those Swedes hey, sometimes less really is moor – that’s a pun, not a spelling error.
