The Ithaa was constructed in meticulously constructed in Singapore and was shipped to the Rangali island. Then the restaurant was sunk and pushed five meters into the seabed. The makers of the Ithaa, construction firm M.J. Murphy claimed that the underwater restaurant is able to last for about 20 years.
Cuisine of the Ithaa Maldives
The Ithaa is one of the resorts nine restaurants, all of which employ amazing food and stellar gastronomic feats. Particularly the Ithaa maintains a slim menu because the diners more often than not are preoccupied with the underwater restaurant experience. Needless to say the food is amazing spite the limited menu.
The underwater sights
Expect a great number of marine life to gather round the acrylic panels of the Ithaa. From Giant Moral Eels, Stingrays and colored reef fish. Its really much like scuba diving! except of course while you are wining and dining.
