Maldives Underwater Suite Offers Luxury Guests Close Shark Encounters

The Muraka is a very expensive hotel suite beneath the water in the Maldives.

Its bedroom has clear acrylic walls instead of ordinary windows.

Guests can see fish and sharks swimming nearby.

One guest woke up and saw several sharks outside the room.

Resort staff said shark sightings are normal, although that night had more sharks than usual.

The suite is designed to handle underwater pressure and is watched by security and marine teams.

Scientists working with the property say the sharks are wild but generally curious rather than directly threatening.

People pay high prices to experience this unusual underwater adventure.
