First Underwater Spa Opens in the Maldives

The spa, named LIME, offers a window to the amazing diversity of ocean life designed with soft furnishings and fabrics that echo the colors and textures of the surrounding corals and sponges.

The underwater treatment rooms took 12 months to construct and are made of a solid-cast resin to create an underwater structure that could be set in the open ocean with minimal disturbance to the ecosystem of the Maldives.

According to the hotel the resin is five inches thick and it provides infinitely better clarity than the cheaper option of laminated glass.

The Maldives is home to the world’s first underwater restaurant: Ithaa at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island.
