The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, which already has a dramatic under-the-sea restaurant, has announced plans to create the world's first luxurious underwater villa of its kind. Dubbed The Muraka (which means coral), the under-the-sea residence will accommodate nine guests, stretching over two levels and will boast exclusive views of the surrounding sea life, while guests enjoy an unprecedented holiday experience.

"Driven by our inspiration to deliver innovative and transformative experiences to our global travelers, the world's first undersea residence encourages guests to explore the Maldives from an entirely new perspective below the surface of the sea," says Ahmed Saleem, chief architect and designer of the undersea residence and a Director at Crown Company. "Through our rich history of being a trailblazer in innovative luxury hospitality, we are proud to remain at the forefront of cutting-edge design, technology and architecture."
