Sleep Beside Mesmerizing Coral Reef at Manta Resort’s Private Island

Underwater homes are no more a biggie these days with every hotel and resort taking up this idea to attract the tourists but Tanzania’s Manta Resort takes this concept to a whole new level with its Underwater Room.

The tree-storied accommodation is 820 feet away from the coast of Pemba Island in Zanzibar and the location could not have been more perfect for the tourists who have an interest in scuba diving and snorkeling since the hotel rests beside a very rich coral reef. The structure is designed by the experienced Swedish company, Genberg Underwater Hotels. The two floors of Underwater Room lie above the sea and are furnished with local hardwood. The middle floor make up for a dining area and a lounge while the top floor serves as a deck for the guests who wish to sunbath while taking in the mesmerizing view of the sea or get starry-eyed while gazing at the sky full of stars at night.

The show stopper of the extraordinary accommodation is obviously the actual underwater room, which sits beneath 13 feet of water. The room does not only have a double bed but also two windows which will give the guests a priceless view of the world beneath the water surface. The guests will be able to experience viewing the marine life in such proximity that nothing else on earth would ever be able to top this event off and all of this can be achieved at a price of $1500 for two persons.
