Would you try sleeping in a bedroom under water? Check Out the Manta Resort

Have you ever thought of spending the night under water? Well, the Manta Resort in Tanzania can help you have this heart-stopping yet awakening experience.

Anchored in an ocean floor, the floating underwater room tops almost anything. The floating structure, Swedish engineered, provides three levels, those above the water clad in local hardwood. Each one worthy of its own story.

The landing deck, at sea level, has a lounge area and bathroom facility. A ladder leads up to the roof which has a lounging area – for sun worshipping by day and stargazing at night; wondering about time, the immensity of everything, the extraordinary clarity of the stars, planets and above all, the edge of our own galaxy – all seen without any light pollution.

Sleep happily under the stars to the soft murmuring of the sea in appreciation of the philosophically microscopic probability of experiencing this. Realizing that you are.

The philosophy of water is to strive as low as possible and reflect the skies above. Descending the ladder to the bedroom below is a rewarding climb to another state of being. The magical feeling of lying on a soft kingsize bed surrounded by panes of glass affording almost 360 degrees viewing is hard to describe.

Located on the reef, in the middle of a conservation area, shoals of reef fish and exquisite, often rarely seen individuals will be seen visiting your windows. Some have taken up residence around the room, which provides them some protection from predation. Some just paying a visit.

By night, the underwater spotlights on all sides of the room attract the shyer and more unusual, for instance squid. Coral has established itself on the anchoring lines and around the underwater structure.

Want to try it out? You will have to part with $ 1 700 or Shs. 170 000 for a single night.
