A four-night stay at the minimum and 50,000 USD per night gets you the Muraka at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island. The suite is the world’s first underwater suite in what is one of the most expensive hotel rooms in the world. So, you’re looking at spending a cool 200,000 USD for sleeping with the fishes – not literally, of course! That makes it the highest-priced hotel stay in the world! The two-story-tall suite’s bedroom lies 16 feet deep in the crystal–clear waters of the Indian Ocean. So, you can watch fish swimming above your head. Plus, it even boasts an overwater living space as well as access to an infinity pool, gym, bar, and a private boat – above the water’s surface. In addition to all of this, you’ll also be automatically upgraded to Hilton Diamond status.

The room is so exclusive that you cannot book it directly, and you’ll have first to contact the property independently. So, even though the Maldives is famed for over-water bungalows and cabins, you can find the real luxury underwater.
