would you stay in this room?

Conrad Maldives underwater bedroom

Lots of guests would say "yes" to a stay in The Muraka at Conrad Maldives Rangali. This unique suite is a bi-level residence with living space both above and below the ocean. Pictured above is an underwater bedroom, its ceiling is 5 meters beneath the water's surface. Guests can lie in bed and watch the tropical fish swimming above and all around them.

But lots of guests would say "no" (including me). While I like new adventures in limited doses, I can just imagine the claustrophobia I would feel at the thought of trying to sleep in a room that's entirely underwater.

Would a stay in this underwater suite excite you? It's set to open in November, 2018.
