It can be a challenge to create a splash in a place as ultra-luxurious as the Maldives, but the Conrad certainly achieved that with the unveiling of its newest suite. The Muraka Suite (meaning ‘coral’ in the local language) goes against the norm; most Maldives suites are overwater, but this one is underwater — the first of its kind in the world. The two-level accommodation has a master bedroom that is 16 ft underwater, so you can watch the delightful marine life swim by from the comfort of your bed. On the upper level there are two bedrooms, an infinity pool and large deck. A stay here comes with the services of an on-call personal trainer, spa therapist, butler and private chef.
