Underwater hotel room opens in Zanzibar

Just off the coast of Tanzania, The Manta Resort on Pemba Island has added a beautiful, other-worldly underwater bedroom to their original 16-room offering.

The new 'digs' opened for business this month, designed by Swedish company Genberg Underwater Hotels. The resort says six guests have stayed in the new digs so far.

The price starts at $1500 per night for a two-person stay, $900 per night for singles

The three-level floating structure has a sky deck on the roof, and incredible views of the stars at night.

Well, not quite middle of the ocean. The underwater room is located 250 meters off shore.

The room floats above The Blue Hole, which resort representatives say is an anomaly in the coral reef -- "A perfectly protected spot" that's a circular hole inhabited by large coral heads and vibrant marine life.

The rest of the resort is located on the coast of Pemba Island. The recipient of only a few dozen foreign visitors annually, the island has a population of 300,000 and is the world's largest producer of cloves. In addition to cloves, mangoes, coconuts and other fruit are grown on plantations on the island.
