Sun, sand and sea, a thousand ‘Robinson Crusoe’ islands, massive lagoons with different depths and infinite shades of blue and turquoise, dazzling underwater more...coral gardens; a perfect natural combination for the ideal tropical holiday destination. However there is more to the Maldives than just that.
This group of 1190 coral islands is also a major destination for scuba divers, who come for the fabulous reefs and the wealth of marine life; however, this is not a place for low budget backpackers or amateur anthropologists who want to travel independently and live as the locals do. less

|  | World’s First Underwater Restaurant
03:28
World’s first ever undersea restaurant called “Ithaa” was opened at the Maldives Hilton Resort & Spa.
The official opening of the restaurant is scheduled more...for 27th June 2005.
Ithaa ( which is pronounced “ee-tha” and means “pearl” in the language of Maldives, Dhivehi sits five metres below the waves of the Indian Ocean, surrounded by vibrant coral reef and encased in clear acrylic walls, offering diners 270 degrees of panoramic underwater views.
Seating only 14 people, Ithaa offers one of the most intimate and exclusive dining experiences in the world. The cuisine is "contemporary Maldivian" (local spices and traditional flavours with a Western twist).
“We have used aquarium technology to put diners face-to-face with the stunning underwater environment of the Maldives,” says Carsten Schieck, General Manager of Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa. “Our guests always comment on being blown away by the color, clarity, and beauty of the underwater world in the Maldives, so it seemed the perfect idea to build a restaurant where diners can experience fine cuisine and take time to enjoy the views—without ever getting their feet wet.” less
