Every Underwater Hotel in the World, Ranked
Conrad Maldives Rangali Island / Facebook
Sleeping underwater became a reality with the first operational submarine in 1866. But even though submarines made it possible to submerge into the ocean, they’re not the most comfortable places.
Underwater hotels changed that. Today, nine hotels in the world offer luxury rooms completely underwater. That’s good news for travelers who love new experiences and the ocean.
Spend a night at any one of these places, and you’ll experience the wonder of marine life from your bed. They are every underwater hotel in the world, ranked on reviews from lucky travelers who’ve stayed there.

The Experience: Lover’s Deep
You will be the sole person staying in this gigantic submarine hotel, which reportedly costs $240,000 a night. That’s chump change if your last name is Bezos or Musk, but it’s a lot of money for the rest of us lowly peasants.
Still, if you can afford it, the experience is beyond luxurious. You’ll get to choose where you want to be, have a personal chef and butler and enjoy being catered to. The company that launched the experience, Oliver’s Travels, claims your stay can be “customized with optional extras including helicopter transfers with a beach landing, free rose petal scattering service or champagne breakfast in bed.”
Because the hotel only caters to the ultra-wealthy, little information and no actual pictures are available. This makes us think you either need to book a stay here through a special concierge only the 1 percent know about, or that this is an April Fool’s prank.
We hope the hotel is real because (tacky rose petal scattering aside) it sounds pretty cool.
What People Say About Lover’s Deep
Due to the hotel’s secretive nature, no reviews can be found. Instead, we’ll leave you with one writer’s opinion of it:
“This is the perfect destination to go with one’s starry-eyed partner. On the other hand, if it’s a couple’s fight night, it could be a little disadvantageous as it may be difficult getting some air or going out for a cigarette. Being in the doghouse could mean spending the night with the butler.” —Aaron Spray
