An ocean-side cocktail is one of the numerous hallmarks of a quintessential beach escape. Now, the Niyama Resort on the Maldives? far-flung Dhaalu Atoll is taking that concept to a new level, inviting guests to tope drinks and party the night away?wait for it?beneath the Indian Ocean. More than 500 yards offshore and a 40-minute seaplane jaunt from Mal?, Subsix is the world?s first sunken club. When the full moon sets the ocean aglow, revelers can dance to international deejays and take in aquarium-like views of sea turtles wading in the surf and tropical fish interspersed on the reef.
In such a sensitive ecosystem, it?s encouraging to hear careful measures were taken to minimalize the environmental impact. Subsix was constructed above ground and placed delicately on a swath of empty seafloor. The resort also enlisted a marine biologist and launched a coral restoration program in which pieces of defunct reef are rehabilitated and returned to their natural habitats.?
The only thing missing in this human fishbowl is the scuba diver figurine.
