It is a striking feat of modern construction. This incredible resort hotel, since its opening in 2008, has featured in several TV shows and films. Boasting of many superlatives, Atlantis, The Palm, hosts an unparalleled set of rooms that are dubbed as the ‘Underwater Suites’. These rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows, and offer you the opportunity to look into the resort aquarium's Ambassador Lagoon, and watch 65000 sea creatures directly that fill it. You can opt between two suites—named Poseidon and Neptune—which feature a 30-min personal training session, 24x7 in-room dining, and free airport transfers.
Resort World, Sentosa, Singapore
You will find this resort just off the coast of Singapore on Sentosa island. It offers 11 two-storey suites that have direct access to the resort's massive aquarium. Guests staying overnight will also get the opportunity to experience the best of both worlds, i.e. underwater views of the aquarium's 40000 fish swimming by; on the lower level, there is an outdoor patio on the upper level. Each suite has been built in a two-story configuration, with the upper-level above the waterline.
