World’s 1st All-Glass Undersea Restaurant
Dine 16 feet below sea level @ the Ithaa Undersea Restaurant


[JP Press, The Maldives, 13 April 2007]  The first-ever all-glass undersea restaurant in the world
opens its doors for business on April 15th at the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa, Rangali Island.
Built on 2 islands in the Indian Ocean archipelago of the Maldives, the Hilton Maldives
Resort & Spa offers white sands, palm-fringed beaches, coral reefs and a turquoise lagoon,
30 minutes’ flight from the international airport by seaplane.



 Sitting five meters (16 feet) below the waves of the Indian Ocean, the Ithaa Undersea Restaurant
is surrounded by a vibrant coral reef and encased in clear acrylic offering diners 270-degrees
of panoramic underwater views.



“We have used aquarium technology to put diners face-to-face with the stunning underwater
environment of the Maldives”, says Carsten Schieck, General Manager of Hilton Maldives
Resort & Spa. “Our guests always comment on being blown away by the colour, clarity, and beauty of
the underwater world in the Maldives, so it seemed the perfect idea to build a restaurant where
diners can experience fine cuisine and take time to enjoy the views - without ever getting their feet wet.”



Created by MJ Murphy Ltd, a design consultancy based in New Zealand, its distinctive feature is
the use of curved transparent acrylic walls and roof, similar to those used in aquarium attractions.
“The fact that the entire restaurant except for the floor is made of clear acrylic makes this unique
in the world,” continues Schieck. “We are currently planting a coral garden on the reef to add to the
spectacular views of the rays, sharks and many colorful fish that live around the area.”
