Experience a serene slumber amidst the depths of the ocean, while colorful fish gracefully glide around you. Is this merely a scene from fairy tales or folklore?
But this is an entirely authentic experience, and you can indulge in it at Manta Resort – a tranquil retreat situated on the beautiful island of Pemba, nestled within the Zanzibar archipelago, in the West African nation of Tanzania.
Manta Resort – an artificial island boasting a beach resembling paradise itself, adorned with coral reefs lining the shore. Just beyond the resort lie verdant forests teeming with diverse flora and fauna awaiting exploration. However, what truly sets Manta apart are its rooms situated 4m below the ocean's surface.
Situated approximately 250m from the shores of the Indian Ocean, Manta Resort is a masterpiece designed by Swedish engineers, featuring 3 floors constructed from robust wood and transparent glass. The ground floor, level with the water, serves as both a living space and a bathroom. Stairs lead up to the rooftop terrace, where guests can bask in the sunlight by day and stargaze by night. Accompanied by the gentle sounds of the ocean waves, you can choose to slumber beneath the starry sky or beneath the ocean's tranquil surface, as you please.
As night falls, Manta Resort becomes enveloped in darkness, devoid of electric lights. Under the shimmering night sky, you can recline and unwind, savoring a glass of chilled wine while marveling at the celestial display above, all the while enjoying a sense of tranquility as time drifts by leisurely and peacefully.
At Manta Resort, guests cannot miss the sensation of 'living' in the underwater rooms. The lowest floor of the hotel is the most fascinating place, with beds surrounded by large glass windows offering nearly 360-degree views. Guests can marvel at the vibrant marine life and feel like they own their private aquarium. At night, with the lights on, the room becomes a magnet, attracting fish and squid. The feeling is so wonderfully indescribable, making it an incredibly memorable experience.
