Seaventures Dive Rig - A Diver’s Hideaway

Dec. 9, 2013 by UNIQ Hotels

Location:

Semporna Malaysia Southeast Asia
IndustrialNatureRemote

This hotel is a diver’s dream. It’s for serious divers who want to explore the oceanic depths of the Coral Triangle off the Coast of Mabul Island. The hotel is in a converted oil platform that was designed for deep-sea oil drilling.

Now, instead of being about man controlling the environment, it’s about men exploring the environment, which is the fundamental difference between the good and dark sides of the Force.

Day and night dives are available, and all trips are included in the price.

You can enjoy 360-degree views from the platform 10 meters above sea level when you're not diving. In the evening, there is an extensive menu and even the odd performance by a touring band.

There is a sun deck for relaxing after a long day's diving or making new friends with fellow diving enthusiasts.

There is also a games room, TV/DVD lounge, and conference room. Your room has air conditioning, and wifi is available.

Ulaman Eco Luxury Resort - A Bamboo Sanctuary In The Tabanan Jungle

There's a version of "eco resort" that means a few solar panels and a sign about towel reuse. Ulaman is not that. This is a place where the walls are literally compressed earth, the staircases are woven bamboo, and there's a hand-carved wine cave hidden behind a stone wall that …

There's a secret door built into a hillside in Kenya. Step through it, walk a short tunnel, and you emerge to one of the most disorienting views in East Africa: a vast, golden sweep of Maasai Mara plains stretching 2,000 feet (610 meters) below you, lit by shafts of afternoon …

There are no light switches at Feynan Ecolodge. No minibar, no television, no electricity sockets in the rooms.
