Dhaka : Luxury travelers are diving deeper-literally! The allure of underwater hotels and resorts in destinations like the Maldives, Dubai, and Norway has captured the imagination of adventurers and social media-savvy travelers alike. Offering a rare combination of luxury, immersion, and education, these resorts allow guests to sleep surrounded by coral reefs and marine life.

As these resorts grow in popularity, developers emphasize sustainable practices. Solar power, desalinated water systems, minimal use of plastics, and active coral rehabilitation programs ensure the natural environment is preserved.
