Romantic dinner for two under the sea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Share the ultimate romantic dinner in the world\u2019s first underwater restaurant at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island. The Ithaa Undersea Restaurant is located five metres below sea level, in the heart of a coral garden that sees rainbow-hued schools of fish swim past the panoramic, domed glass ceiling. The restaurant is housed in the belly of an unassuming overwater bungalow; inside, descend a spiral staircase and emerge into an intimate dining space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feast on a trailblazing menu of\u202ffine-dining staples like caviar and tartare, while local flavours are thrown into the spotlight with dishes such as calamarata pasta stuffed with reef lobster and coconut-crusted\u202fl\u00e9gine<\/em>\u202f(a local fish). While you feast, look overhead and see manta rays, reef sharks and schools of fish swimming by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
