馬爾代夫推出"海底洞房"可臥觀海景
When it comes to honeymoon destinations, most newlyweds have set aside a nice little bundle for their ultimate getaway.
But a unique suite in the Maldives - while offering unbeatable views of the local marine life - is likely to eat up the entire average wedding budget, let alone the honeymoon accommodation costs.
Conrad hotels are offering a breathtaking suite at their Maldives Rangali Islands resort, which has to be seen to be believed.
Normally the hotel's 'Ithaa' restaurant, the domed 'reverse aquarium' is being converted into a special submerged bedroom in honour of the hotel's fifth anniversary.
A night below the surface of the Indian Ocean would have to rank as the number one night to remember, and the romantic experience comes with a complimentary champagne breakfast the following morning.
Of course the aquatic entertainment - provided by the likes of blue-striped snapper, sting rays, parrot fish and moray eels - is also (quite literally) on the house.
Unsurprisingly, however, the hotel is keeping a 'price on application' policy - the Ithaa wedding experience is not listed on the Conrad hotels website, and potential guests are advised to personally request the room at least 14 days in advance.
A King Deluxe Water Villa - until now the top-of-the-range accommodation at the Maldives Rangali Islands resort - is a tidy £1,156 a night... and it's above water.
It's safe to say that this experience is not for the budget-minded.
提起蜜月旅行目的地，大多數新婚夫婦都會不惜重金打造他們的完美假期。
但馬爾代夫新推出的一間獨一無二的套房卻可能用光你的全部婚禮預算，更不用說度蜜月的食宿費用了。在這間套房裏，你可以欣賞到無與倫比的當地海洋生物風光。
港麗酒店在馬爾代夫倫格里羣島度假勝地打造了一間令人驚歎的海底套房，若非親眼目睹你也許都不會相信。
爲紀念酒店建店五週年，原爲伊薩海底餐廳的這間穹頂狀“反向水族館”被改造成了一間別致的海底客房。
在印度洋底度過的浪漫之夜將成爲一生最難忘的記憶，第二天早晨酒店還將免費贈送香檳早餐。
當然，毫不誇張地說，觀賞藍紋笛鯛、刺鰩、鸚鵡魚、海鰻等海底娛樂項目也是免費贈送。
酒店採用了“價格申請”政策，伊薩海底蜜月套房並未列在港麗酒店的網站上，酒店建議有意申請的遊客至少提前14天提交個人預訂，這也在人們的意料之中。
目前，馬爾代夫倫格里羣島度假勝地同類住宿中最頂級的豪華水上別墅價格高達每晚1156英鎊，但這可不是在海底。
因此可以說，海底蜜月體驗不適合省錢一族。
