5 Luxurious Sea Experiences To Splash Out On
There are many ways to enjoy the beauty of the sea. For those celebrating a special occasion (or for those that simply have money to spend), why not consider splashing out on one of these unforgettable luxury experiences? From underwater hotels to luxury yachts, these opulent ocean adventures are certain to take your breath away and leave a lasting impression.
Stay in an underwater hotel
For a truly deep sleep, why not consider staying in an underwater hotel? There are a few of these hotels around the world – they feature suites with windows looking out into the ocean so that you can feel as if you’re sleeping on the bed of the ocean. The Muraka at Conrad Maldives’ Rangali Island resort is possibly the most impressive example of this, featuring 360-degree views of the ocean, three king bedrooms, an infinity pool and a butler’s quarters. Nightly rates are not cheap however!
Book a cruise ship cabin with a balcony
Everyone needs to experience a cruise ship holiday at some point in their life. These floating resorts contain everything from gyms to casinos and are a chance to experience the high life on the high seas. You also get to stop off at lots of different locations on your journey, while only having to unpack your bags once. Cruise ships can also be quite affordable, however the catch is that you typically end up with a tiny cramped cabin. Paying extra for a cabin with a balcony could elevate your cruise ship to the next level. These cabins aren’t just bigger, but allow you your own private outdoor space overlooking the roaring sea. Check out this guide to some of the different balcony cabins offered by major cruise ships.
Enjoy Michelin-star dining at sea
On the topic of cruises, it’s also worth discussing the food. Many cruise ships contain high quality restaurants. However, some cruise ships go the extra mile when it comes to their dining experience – over the years, several luxury cruises have partnered with Michelin-star chefs and offered guests Michelin-star dining at sea. It’s a chance to eat world class food while gazing out at the ocean.
Charter a luxury yacht
Most of us could never dream of owning a luxury yacht. But some of us may be able to stretch to the option of chartering a yacht. This allows you to essentially rent out a luxury yacht for a few nights. You get your own private crew of staff, spacious cabins and the option to choose where you want to sail. Global yachting specialists can help you explore chartering options. Chartering a yacht out for a few hours may even be an option if you can’t afford to stay overnight.
Stay on a private island
Renting out your own private island could provide you with your very own secluded getaway with beaches to enjoy all to yourself. It’s the ultimate luxury experience! The Maldives is known to have a few small private islands you can stay at, as well as a range of other luxury experiences. There are also larger islands that you can rent out which have staff on hand to provide meals and security. But of course, this experience comes at a much higher cost.
