Poseidon Undersea Resort


I often like to read about happenings in the accommodation industry offshore. I also enjoy reading about the feats of men that conquer nature and push the envelope to the extreme.

Poseidon Resort is unlikely to change the accommodation industry, but it's development is inspiring. I would like to meet the man that is taking an extreme financial risk of trying something new and is turning his dream into reality.


Imagine a futuristic vacation that brings you to the bottom of the sea floor to experience luxury and stunning views. It may seem like a far-fetched dream, but the Poseidon Undersea Resorts makes this dream a reality. Taking reservations now, it is possible to be one of the first to sleep, eat, and play under the sea off the coast of Fiji.

There are 24 rooms available that resemble pods encased in clear acrylic to showcase the activity and coral seascape. Each pod is removable and can be brought to the surface for repairs or maintenance and reattaches to the main structure.

The Poseidon Resort was partially designed using the same safety and structural techniques that are used for submarines. Routine rescue missions are practiced to ensure the safety of all guests and staff.

One week in paradise is going to cost $15,000 per person based on double occupancy. For this, you will get airfare along with 7 days and 6 nights of accommodations. Only 2 of the 6 nights will be spent underwater, the remaining 4 will be spent in a beach villa or one that is overwater.
The luxury package also includes:
  • Submarine trip
  • Training and the ability to control a three-man submarine with the guidance of an onboard captain
  • Scuba diving & snorkeling
  • Photography services and a keepsake album of your time spent at Poseidon
  • Meals and drinks
  • Wine tasting classes
  • Sports - golf, tennis, and water activities
Additional amenities include para-sailing and the opportunity to walk on the sea floor in a special diving suit that supplies air from the surface. Book the private Honeymoon Island for a picnic - you will be dropped off and picked up - having an entire island to yourself.

The underwater resorts boasts a chapel and you can book your own wedding in complete with a reception.
