DJ parties with dancing until the morning, champagne breakfasts, gastronomic lunches and dinners with an underwater light show every Wednesday and Saturday at 21:00 - all available at the Subsix Club in the 6-meter depth of the Indian Ocean.
A menu option for an underwater lunch can be found on the hotel's website, as for the prifce, you can expect to spend around € 165 per person. Also you should note that in the Maldives, 10% service and 12% service tax are paid additionally.

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island
Do you dream about everything at once? Then go to Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, which features The Muraka Underwater Villa and Ithaa Undersea Restaurant.
The Muraka is the first underwater villa in the Indian Ocean and the most exclusive vacation spot, separated from all other residences in the resort and surrounded only by turquoise water. In addition to the underwater bedroom, the villa has an infinity pool, ocean-view bathtub, private gym and two docks.
The villa can accommodate up to 9 people, and the rate includes a 24-hour butler and personal chef. Before the pandemic, renting a villa at The Muraka cost about € 40,000 per day for at least four days, but now the price for this luxury vacation has halved.
The Ithaa Undersea Restaurant at 5 meters depth was previously recognized as the world's most beautiful restaurant, which is not surprising, because it is the first all-glass underwater restaurant, which offers panoramic views of the coral reefs, so you can watch colorful fish. The Ithaa Undersea Restaurant seats only up to 12 guests and, if desired, you can arrange a cozy wedding ceremony and a gala dinner just for your family and friends.
