The world's largest all-glass underwater restaurant Based on a luxury resort, called Hurawalhi Island Resort in the Maldives' Lhaviyani Atoll, there is the world's largest all-glass underwater restaurant: 5.8 Undersea Restaurant, opened in 2016. The restaurant is named like this because is located exactly 5.8 meters below the seashore. Headed by the German chef Bjoern van den Oever, who created a seven courses special dinner, that meets with the incredible view of the marine life. While you may eat a seafood dish, as a scallop served with apricot and almond vinaigrette, you can see a variety of corals, eels, sharks or - if you are lucky - an octopus. The natural landscape was idealized by the dive instructor Paige Bennett. Her idea was to show the marine life from Maldives. For this purpose, she selected some corals who attracts certain types of fish. Today she is surprise with the variety of aquatic animals who chose to live close to the restaurant. More than attracting fishs, the construction of the restaurant was also a big challenge. The restaurant's glass was manufactured in New Zealand and is 15 centimeters thick. The process of set up it required two years in total. This restaurant receives clients especially from the resort, but it is allowed clients from the resorts around. Children is not accept, because it is an adult-only resort. Despite this fact, visiting the 5.8 Undersea Restaurant is an unforgettable experience - either to the eyes and to the stomach.
