The first all-glass (tutto in vetro) undersea (sottomarino) restaurant in the world has opened its doors for business in the Maldives. ‘Ithaa’ - meaning ‘pearl’ in the language of the Maldives - is located five meters beneath (al di sotto della) the surface (superficie) of the Indian Ocean. Its distinctive feature (tratto) is the use of curved transparent acrylic walls (pareti) and roof (tetto), similar to those used in aquarium attractions, offering diners (clienti) 270-degrees of panoramic underwater views (vedute). At the undersea restaurant diners can experience fine (raffinata) cuisine and be blown away (folgorati) by the colour, clarity, and beauty of the underwater world in the Maldives – without ever getting their feet wet (bagnarsi)! Diners begin their meal (pasto) with drinks on a deck (ponte) over the ocean and then descend to the restaurant via (tramite) a spiral staircase (scala a chiocciola) where the à la carte menu is served. ‘Ithaa’ seats (ha posti a sedere per) only 14 people and offers one of the most intimate and exclusive experiences in the world.
