Luxury breaks holiday
Luxury breaks holiday underwater
Sleep surrounded by coral and cradled by the soft light of the seabed, without complicated diving equipment and all the comforts of a five star resort, is the kind of adventure that not even Jules Verne came to imagine.
Hold your breath. Relax. You are about to embark on a journey under the water that will allow you to enjoy the beauty of marine life without giving up the luxury, services or facilities that a hotel of the highest caliber can offer.
Poseidon Undersea Resort, worthy of the god of the seas
Nobody can deny that Bruce Jones, a wealthy leisure class has imagination. But at the same time, efforts to turn their ideas into reality. His dream was to build an underwater hotel to match the tastes of the most refined and demanding. With the ongoing project is soon to happen: the opening is scheduled for 2009.
submarinosSituado hotels on an island in the Bahamas, the Poseidon Undersea Resort will be about 15 meters deep and its walls must be completely transparent. Humidity, temperature, light and above all the pressure will be controlled so that customers do not feel much difference with the outside or have to go with the scuba sunset. Thus, guests can live off the water, but fish will feel like strolling through a coral reef.
70% of the luxury suites will be made of clear acrylic, so they offer spectacular panoramic views of the sea floor. Each will have a coral garden, which will see marine life in all its glory. From the inside, also you can control outdoor lighting and also feed the fish.
The hotel will have all kinds of services and facilities: restaurant, library, conference room, a wedding chapel and spa. It will offer a submarine to explore the depths of the lagoon and its own submersible guests can learn to fly.
To get to this water paradise is not necessary to dive, be accessed via a lift at the end of a pier.

Although not yet passed the conceptual stage and its ideologues are seeking investors, the concept of Hydropolis Resorts close to that of Poseidon.
The final designs are not finished, but everything indicates that it would be artificial islands that would serve as the hotel’s terrace, with the rest of the submerged plants.
Jules Undersea Lodge, more intimate and simple
Anxious to live underwater adventure? In Key Largo, Florida, is already operating a similar proposal, but with fewer amenities and no such luxury.
The Jules Undersea Lodge is located at the bottom of the Emerald Lagoon and is part of Key Largo Undersea Park. With two bedrooms and a common space that serves as kitchen-dining-living, was built in the eighties and can accommodate up to six people simultaneously.
Proposed packages for honeymooners or for those who want to have a “wedding underwater.” Of course, not only couples are welcome. Just be encouraged to feel like a new experience.
