The Maldives is home to the first underwater restaurant in the world. Ithaa, which means “mother of pearl” in Dhivehi, is located in the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island hotel, which occupies two private islands, Rangali and Rangalifinolhu. This undersea restaurant offers more than just a meal; it’s an adventure beneath the waves. Imagine enjoying tasteful food and champagne 16 ft (5 m) under the ocean, surrounded by the vibrant marine life of the Indian Ocean. The restaurant’s acrylic walls provide a 180-degree panoramic view, with tropical fish, sharks, and stingrays looking at you while you eat.
