UNDERSEA RESTAURANT
Ithaa, which means pearl in Dhivehi, is the world’s premier undersea restaurant, secured five metres (15 feet ) below sea level, surrounded by a coral reef , at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island in Rangalifinolhu, Maldives
The award-winning Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa became Conrad Maldives Rangali Island on 18 December 2007 – This is in line with Conrad’s positioning as the luxury brand within the Hilton Family, with services & facilities.
The five-by-nine meter restaurant is encased in R-Cast acrylic which is a transparent acrylic roof offering 270° panoramic view to its customers
Only 14 individuals can dine at one time and the menu is considered to be Maldavian-Western Fusion. Meals range in cost from US$120 to US$250.
The amazing experience begins right from the start as you reach the restaurant by going through a wooden walkway.
The restaurant, which cost around $5 million to build, was designed by M.J. Murphy Ltd. – a design consultancy based in New Zealand – and was opened on April 15, 2005. The structure was built in Singapore and shipped to the island on a massive barge equipped with a giant crane to lower it into position in the sea
