Divers, snorklers and Steve Zissou-types can
immerse themselves in the unspoiled waters of a remote African island
in an entirely new way, thanks to a Swedish design team.
Off
the coast of Tanzania, The Manta Resort on Pemba Island has unveiled a
new private accommodation with a bedroom four meters below the surface.
So now travelers can sleep surrounded by sea creatures.
The
brainchild of Genberg Underwater Hotels, which has placed previous
aquatic accommodations in the center of a Swedish lake, the Manta
Resort‘s floating island is three stories. The top deck is designed for
stargazing and sunbathing, while lounging and dining take place inside
the water deck. Down below, the bedroom’s windows forgo curtains in
favor of unobstructed views of marine life, such as squid and octopus,
which are illuminated by evening spotlights.
The cost to reserve
the room ranges from $900-$1,500 per night, depending upon single or
double occupant.This is indeed a great news for Africa.
