The Muraka, Conrad Maldives

Bedroom 5m below the Indian Ocean
A two-level villa off Rangali Island whose master suite sits about five metres beneath the Indian Ocean, wrapped in a 180-degree acrylic dome with reef sharks and rays drifting past the bed. Above the surface: a private deck, infinity pool, two more bedrooms, and speedboat-and-butler service. The catch: Rates run around US$15,000 a night — and only the one master bedroom is underwater; the rest of the villa lives above the surface.
