Manta Resort Opens First Underwater Hotel Room in Zanzibar

Manta Resort on Pemba Island is offering a truly special experience – a beautiful underwater bedroom in the Indian Ocean. The private floating island suite was designed by Swedish artist Mikael Genberg, who also built the first underwater hotel room in a lake in Sweden. The three-tiered suite includes a rooftop deck, a bathroom and a lounge area at sea level and finally the bedroom downstairs, with breathtaking views of astounding marine life. However, sleeping with the fishes doesn’t come cheap, booking a night in this exclusive room will cost you $900 per night for singles; or $1500 per night for a two-person stay, and you better plan ahead of time. Pretty amazing.
