The World's First All-glass Undersea Restaurant Opens
The World's First All-glass Undersea Restaurant Opens
15 th April marks the day that the first ever all-glass undersea restaurant in
the world opens its doors for business at the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa. It
will sit five meters below the waves of the Indian Ocean, surrounded by a
vibrant coral reef and encased in clear acrylic offering diners 270-degrees of
panoramic underwater views.
"We have used aquarium technology to put diners face-to-face with the stunning
underwater environment of the Maldives", says Carsten Schieck, General Manager
of Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa. "Our guests always comment on being blown aw ay
by the colour, clarity, and beauty of the underwater world in the Maldives, so
it seemed the perfect idea to build a restaurant where diners can experience
fine cuisine and take time to enjoy the views - without ever getting their feet
wet."
Created by MJ Murphy Ltd, a design consultancy based in New Zealand, Ithaa's
distinctive feature is the use of curved transparent acrylic walls and roof,
similar to those used in aquarium attractions. "The fact that the entire
restaurant except for the floor is made of clear ac rylic makes this unique in
the world," continues Schieck, "We are currently planting a coral garden on the
reef to add to the spectacular views of the rays, sharks and many colorful fish
that live around the area.
