About the Muraka (Maldives underwater hotel)

1. Where the Muraka is located

The Muraka is located at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island. A five-star luxury hotel that’s nestled in the South Ari Atoll. They offer award-winning overwater bungalows, beach villas, and even an underwater restaurant. Now, remember that almost every resort in the Maldives is located on its own private island. So when you fly into the international airport, you’ll either have to take a 30-minute seaplane ride or a domestic flight to a nearby island, followed by a speedboat ride to get to Conrad. You provide your flight details and they take care of getting you to the resort.

2. How the Muraka was built

The Crown Company is responsible for building this project. They’re a privately owned company that specializes in resort infrastructure development in the Maldives. They not only have built the underwater villa but they also have built the underwater restaurant at Conrad. They originally built the restaurant in 2004, which came out incredible. You’re literally dining under the sea with vibrant fish surrounding you. Fast forward and Conrad invited them back to build another underwater project. The underwater villa. But this project was going to be much more complicated than the restaurant. They built the entire structure in Singapore and then transported it to the Maldives. Once in the Maldives, they used a crane ship to lower it into the water. They previously drilled piles into the coral reef to anchor it down. As it was lowered down, they had divers guide the legs of the structure into the piles. Finally, they had to concrete the legs into place to give it a firm hold. There were many other things that went into building this but that should give you a rough idea of how it was built.

3. How much the Muraka costs per night

Given the large investment it took to create this, about 8 million dollars, it’s obviously not going to be cheap. Are you ready for this? Brace yourself.

It’ll cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $30,000 per night. Given the time you visit, the prices are going to fluctuate a bit. But I have a feeling if you can afford that price tag, a couple thousand dollars won’t break the bank.

So if you stayed here for a week, it could cost you a couple hundred thousand dollars.

Do you think the price is worth it? Comment your thoughts below!
