Picture falling asleep to dolphins or fish skimming past your window—Tim experienced exactly that in the Maldives. He booked the priciest suite he's ever stayed in, a dramatic undersea escape.
The main living area balances opulent detailing with laid-back seating that feels inviting. On arrival, Tim found fresh fruit and a PlayStation waiting to entertain. Handmade chocolates shaped like coral served as a whimsical welcome gift.
The kitchen beside the lounge is built to professional standards and ready for serious cooking. Guests can bring in a private chef to create custom menus, though it requires an extra fee. A chef's presence turns meals into tailored events.
Past the kitchen, the balcony stretches out with cozy couches and seating perfect for lounging. It's a lovely perch for cocktails and horizon-watching. Adventurous guests can also dive straight into the ocean from this spot.
The master bedroom sits on an upper level and provides a calm vantage over the water. The bed had a thoughtful welcome arrangement, and white chairs lend a clean aesthetic. A small glass balcony off the room makes for a peaceful morning nook.
The master bath is strikingly spacious with a distinctive, open layout that impresses. The toilet is encased in glass, creating an unusually exposed feel. It features tech-forward functions, including a drying option akin to high-end Japanese models.
A spectacular shell-shaped soaking tub sits beside the glass toilet and faces the ocean beyond. Soaking there with warm water and expansive sea views is deeply relaxing. The tub becomes a highlight for photos and calm reflection.
The suite's standout shower is vast and topped with a generous rainfall head. It delivers a drenching, immersive shower experience that feels luxurious. Tim joked that its size was borderline comical for a single-person shower.
A nearby area offers fluffy robes and a vanity space for makeup or prep. An extra toilet adds privacy when more than one person uses the suite. These practical touches help the suite feel like a well-appointed private home.
The guest room offers a comfortable space with slightly reduced views for extra privacy. It still includes its own small balcony, so guests can step outside for fresh air. The room is ideal for friends or family joining your stay.
Another balcony features a private plunge pool tucked away from public view for complete seclusion. It's an ideal spot to relax, swim, or soak up sun in privacy. You can also enter the ocean directly from this terrace.
A private elevator brings you down to a submerged bedroom where sea life drifts by in close proximity. From your bed, schools of fish can pass mere inches from the glass, creating a surreal sleeping environment. The ambient ocean noise above acts as a gentle lullaby.
The underwater bedroom provides sweeping views that feel cinematic, like your own ocean theater. Tim spotted sharks and barracudas cruising by, turning the view into a continuous wildlife show. That panoramic sightline makes the space unforgettable.
The underwater bathroom offers sweeping reef vistas through large glass panels while you shower. A roomy shower space allows you to feel surrounded by marine life as you clean up. Even trips to the toilet become striking due to the outside panorama.
Dining under the sea includes dishes like tuna tartare, smoked duck salad, lobster, and steak served with finesse. Guests often dine barefoot to match the informal, intimate atmosphere. The resort's underwater aging of Dom Perignon adds a distinctive culinary twist.
The suite includes an emergency hatch for quick surface evacuation if required. For a grander movement, guests may use the elegant stairs that connect underwater and above-water spaces. Safety and spectacle are both considered in the design.
Beyond the villa, the resort boasts spotless beaches, a main pool, and an infinity pool set amid the sea. Tim explored these areas, enjoying the island's natural beauty and amenities. The total cost for the one-night villa stay reached $15,044.
