06 UNDER THE SEA
Nothing really rivals the views you get when dining at Subsix. Located 500m from the PER AQUUM Niyama resort in the Maldives and 6m below the waterline, the restaurant offers a dining experience like no other. After arriving by speedboat, descend a grand three-tiered staircase illuminated by abstract Italian chandeliers into a space highlighted by soft anemone chairs beneath the soft waves of capiz shells draped from the ceiling. As you dine, keep an eye on the floor-to-ceiling windows and you may be rewarded with shoals of Moorish Idols, drifting groupers, sliding moray eels and a rainbow of butterflyfish, damselfish and parrotfish. Come back for the twice-weekly glow parties that illuminate the night alongside the theatre of the reef.
