When it comes to honeymoon destinations, most newlyweds have set aside a nice little bundle for their ultimate getaway.
But a unique suite in the Maldives - while offering unbeatable views of the local marine life - is likely to eat up the entire average weddingbudget, let alone the honeymoonaccommodation costs.
Conrad hotels are offering a breathtaking suite at their Maldives Rangali Islands resort, which has to be seen to be believed.
Normally the hotel's 'Ithaa' restaurant, the domed 'reverse aquarium' is being converted into a special submerged bedroom in honour of the hotel's fifth anniversary.
A night below the surface of the Indian Ocean would have to rank as the number one night to remember, and the romantic experience comes with a complimentarychampagne breakfast the following morning.
Of course the aquatic entertainment - provided by the likes of blue-striped snapper, sting rays, parrot fish and moray eels - is also (quite literally) on the house.
Unsurprisingly, however, the hotel is keeping a 'price on application' policy - the Ithaa wedding experience is not listed on the Conrad hotels website, and potential guests are advised to personally request the room at least 14 days in advance.
A King Deluxe Water Villa - until now the top-of-the-range accommodation at the Maldives Rangali Islands resort - is a tidy £1,156 a night... and it's above water.
It's safe to say that this experience is not for the budget-minded.

提起蜜月旅行目的地,大多数新婚夫妇都会不惜重金打造他们的完美假期。 但马尔代夫新推出的一间独一无二的套房却可能用光你的全部婚礼预算,更不用说度蜜月的食宿费用了。在这间套房里,你可以欣赏到无与伦比的当地海洋生物风光。 港丽酒店在马尔代夫伦格里群岛度假胜地打造了一间令人惊叹的海底套房,若非亲眼目睹你也许都不会相信。 为纪念酒店建店五周年,原为伊萨海底餐厅的这间穹顶状"反向水族馆"被改造成了一间别致的海底客房。 在印度洋底度过的浪漫之夜将成为一生最难忘的记忆,第二天早晨酒店还将免费赠送香槟早餐。 当然,毫不夸张地说,观赏蓝纹笛鲷、刺鳐、鹦鹉鱼、海鳗等海底娱乐项目也是免费赠送。 酒店采用了"价格申请"政策,伊萨海底蜜月套房并未列在港丽酒店的网站上,酒店建议有意申请的游客至少提前14天提交个人预订,这也在人们的意料之中。 目前,马尔代夫伦格里群岛度假胜地同类住宿中最顶级的豪华水上别墅价格高达每晚1156英镑,但这可不是在海底。 因此可以说,海底蜜月体验不适合省钱一族。
