Ithaa - Dine Under The Sea
Imagine, slurping your favorite cuisine under the deep blue sea, while shoal of fish entertain you by dancing hay via. Does it seem like a dreamworld? Well! It's, just another interesting innovation by an extraordinary human mind. Explore the world's first undersea restaurant - Ithaa in Maldives
Ithaa, which means 'pearl' in Dhivehi, is the world's premier mostly acrylic undersea restaurant, secured five meters below sea level, at the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa in Rangalifinolhu, Maldives. This innovative restaurant was created by MJ Murphy Ltd., a design consultancy based in New Zealand - the first of its kind in the world. It is part of a rebuild of Rangalifinolhu Island, one of the twin islands that make up Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa.
Ithaa
is
reached
by
a
wooden
walkway
from
the
nearby
over-water
Sunset
Grill
Restaurant.
Diners
begin
their
meal
with
a
cocktail
on
a
specially
constructed
deck
over
the
ocean
and
then
descend
to
the
restaurant
by
a
spiral
staircase
where
the
mouthwatering
menu
is
served.
The
transparent
arch,
seats
14
people
and
provides
a
feeling
of
being
completely
at
one
with
the
underwater
world.
The
menu
in
Ithaa
is
a
blend
of
local
spices
and
Maldives
traditional
flavor
with
a
western
twist
to
create
a
fusion
cuisine.
It's
an
attempt
to
create
a
fusion
cuisine
that
one
could
find
in
the
best
restaurants
in
London
or
New
York.
Ithaa is surrounded by a vibrant coral reef and encased in clear acrylic, offering diners 270 degrees of panoramic underwater views. Its distinctive feature is the use of curved transparent acrylic walls and roof, similar to those used in aquarium technology, to put dinners face-to-face with the stunning underwater environment. Ithaa is currently working on a coral garden on the reef to add to the spectacular views of the rays, sharks and many colorful fish that live around the reef near the restaurant.
The
acrylic
tunnel
was
first
designed
for
the
Kuala
Lumpur
National
Science
Centre,
which
is
the
world"s
largest
aquarium
tunnel.
The
total
weight
of
the
restaurant
when
it
was
lowered
into
the
sea
was
175
tons
and
85
more
tons
of
sand
have
been
placed
inside
the
belly
of
the
structure
to
sink
it
into
the
sea.
The
total
cost
to
build
Ithaa
was
around
million.
The
estimated
life
span
of
the
restaurant
is
just
20
years,
so
don't
delay
book
your
seats
before
it
becomes
a
history
