Ithaa Undersea Restaurant Maldives

Eating Under the Sea

Ithaa Undersea Restaurant is an experience that is too good to be true. This famous restaurant is nearly five meters under the Indian Ocean so you can eat while being surrounded by water.
You step inside and the outside world is gone. You can see 270 degrees of life under water through the curved glass ceiling and walls. While you eat, colorful fish, coral reefs, even reef sharks swim past. It's special and private every time you go with only about 14 seats in the small, cozy space.
The uniqueness of Ithaa is the fine dining experience with nature. The design is very clear so during the day natural light comes through the water.” At night the sea is a dark, silent background.
The fun is in getting to the restaurant. To get to this underwater area, guests walk across a jetty above the water, then down a spiral staircase. It doesn’t feel like going to a restaurant, it feels like going to a different world.

Most of the food at Ithaa is modern European but there are some Maldivian and Asian dishes too. Meals are well-planned and often include multiple courses featuring fresh seafood and quality ingredients.
Picture yourself dining on a beautifully arranged meal with manta rays swimming by or schools of fish swimming above you. It takes a simple meal and makes it something that lingers with you and makes you feel like you're really there.
A Distinctive Experience
The world’s first underwater restaurant, Ithaa, opened in 2005. It is still one of the strangest places to eat in the world.
Whether it’s a special occasion, a romantic dinner or just a once in a lifetime experience, dining here is less of an outing and more of a story that you will remember for the rest of your life. It’s strange and quiet and beautiful in a way no other place is. The ocean is part of your table and every moment is one that you will never forget.
