8 Underwater Hotels and Resorts for an Unforgettable Honeymoon

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island offers some of the best overwater bungalows in the world, an all-glass underwater restaurant, and an exclusive location in the Maldives. However, couples don't have to go the regular route and choose an overwater abode. This property also features an underwater suite known as "The Muraka"  (meaning “coral” in the local Dhivehi language). This suite sits 16 feet below the ocean's surface, while a second overwater level also lets guests enjoy sunrises and sunsets with ample living space. 

This underwater suite lets you sleep in a luxurious fish tank, but you don't have to give up the amenities and features offered by one of the top-rated hotels in the world. Honeymoon guests often book a few nights in the underwater suite before moving to an elegant overwater bungalow for the remainder of their trip. 

Dubai is one of the most exclusive and opulent destinations for honeymooners, and Atlantis, The Palm may just be the city's crown jewel. This lavish property features an award-winning water park, an extensive aquarium with 65,000 marine animals, as well as 23 restaurants and bars on the premises. Foodies will delight to know that they can even dine at Nobu while on site—or at Gordon Ramsey's exclusive eatery.

This property also boasts two-level underwater suites that feature overwater living space with a king-size bedroom, marble bath, and floor-to-ceiling windows that peer into a gigantic aquarium. These underwater marvels also come with some "extras," including airport pickup, lounge access, and plenty of pampering—like 24 hour private butler service.

Jules' Undersea Lodge is not a luxury resort by any stretch of the imagination, but it does allow couples to sleep under the ocean in Key Largo, Florida. This property is geared toward divers or those who want to become certified. Overnight stays are available, and pizza will be provided and delivered during the course of your overnight stay. 

Those looking for something extra special should consider the "aquanaut package," which lets guests book a delicious lunch at the Hideout restaurant and earn the PADI Specialty certification card to add to existing diving credentials.

The Manta Resort is located on a far-flung island off the coast of Tanzania, yet the underwater room is even more remote than that. This multi-level suite actually floats off the coast of Pemba Island, which completely disconnects it from the outside world. Guests can enjoy unbelievable views of unbothered ocean wildlife as well as spectacular sunrises and sunsets from their rooftop deck.

Guests who want to mix up their experience can combine their underwater stay with additional nights in a seafront villa with a private plunge pool and panoramic ocean views. A spa is offered on-site, as well as a PADI dive center that can help you become an underwater explorer.

Resort World Sentosa is more than a resort; it's a sprawling playground for travelers who want to dine, dance, and relax the day away. This property features more than 30 different restaurants, including gourmet cuisine and eateries hosted by celebrity chefs. Guests will also find a massive aquarium flanked by two-story ocean suites that let them sleep alongside more than 40,000 marine animals including fish, sharks, and giant rays.

Guests who book ocean suites benefit from 24-hour butler service, luxury bedding and amenities, and plenty of five-star comforts. Underwater lagoon-view rooms also feature king beds and expansive living space.

Utter Inn may be nothing more than a floating hotel room on the stunning clearwater Lake Mälaren, but it could be ideal for honeymooners who truly want to get away from it all. This one-room property is not part of a hotel, so couples won't see another soul during their stay. All they'll have is themselves and whatever food and drink they bring to the floating hotel room, which features an overwater deck and an underwater bedroom with glass windows peering into the lake.

While there aren't any amenities to speak of, the property does offer free breakfast and a canoe you can use to paddle to an uninhabited island for even more alone time. For a honeymoon property where you can enjoy peace and solitude on a stunning lake near a bustling urban center, this could be your place.

The Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland looks other-worldly, and that's partially due to its cliffside location within a quarry. However, this resort also boasts a unique set-up with 16 of the 18 floors being underground and two floors actually underwater. Choose from a regular room or suite or book a luxurious underwater suite with windows that peer into the quarry for up-close viewing of the stunning wildlife. 

This property features a luxurious indoor pool, opulence in every direction, an on-site fitness center, and opportunities for rock climbing among the quarry walls. When you check out the photos, you'll quickly see why this destination resort is an Instagram fan favorite that could be the perfect spot for an unforgettable honeymoon getaway.

Niyama Private Islands boasts a stunning setting in the Maldives, and it is geared toward adventure-seekers. This resort features an array of water activities, including snorkeling, diving, boating, and surfing. Guests can also book "float" activities, which can include everything from cruises on a glass-bottom boat to dolphin tours, fishing tours, and sailing. 

Guests can select from any number of bungalows and pavilions, including the Deluxe Water Pool Villas with a private sundeck and plunge pool. While couples won't sleep underwater, an array of exciting meals can be booked in the property's submerged restaurant, Subsix. Couples can enjoy boozy brunches, romantic dinners, and cocktail hours in this elegant eatery while surrounded by ocean life.
