I've seen a few of these underwater resrorts that I would like to visit one day, but this one is more of my style. The other resort's I've seen are all submereged unerwater, and some of their bedrooms are even submereged underwater when you're sleep and I'm not for all of that. With this being half underwater and half above water I think my mind can handle this reosrt better..
Qatar's latest luxury project will put to rest the notion that being green isn't cool: the US$500 million Amphibious 1000 resort looks set to become a go-to destination for scuba-divers and nature-lovers, being situated right smack in the middle of a marine reserve - and will feature underwater rooms to boot. Conceptualized by Italian architectural firm Giancarlo Zema Design Group, the Amphibious 1000 consists of four sprawling hotels with underwater rooms outfitted to look like superyachts. Even cooler are the 80 floating suites, evocatively dubbed Jelly-fish, which come equipped with underwater viewing decks overlooking an artificial reef bed
Each Jellyfish accommodates up to six guests, and will have five levels with a relaxation room, sleeping quarters and bathrooms, kitchen, guest rooms and a private aquarium lounge. Guests can zip around the resort on foot or electric buggies. A fleet of hydrogen-powered, glass-bottomed yachts are also available for charter, and a huge aquarium , exhibition galleries and an underwater observatory reside at the center of the resort.
“It is like a big aquatic animal stretching out from the land into the sea, and extends horizontally for one kilometre thanks to two long wide arms,” a spokesperson from Giancarlo Zema said. No word yet on the construction completion date, but we'll keep you updated so you can plan your next summer vacation.
