Florida Has One Of The World's Only Underwater Hotels & You Have To Scuba Dive To Get There
So many people come to Florida for its clear water beaches and unique wildlife, but not many people know you can actually have a sleepover with the fish! There's an underwater hotel in the Sunshine State that allows you to live out your mermaid dreams.
Jules' Undersea Lodge is located in the lagoon at Key Largo Undersea Park and is one of the only places in the world with an eccentric stay.
It gives guests an opportunity to experience a night of rest and relaxation next to marine life 21 feet below the surface.
You might want to add this to your bucket list of travel destinations because you can't even get there on land. You have to scuba dive to the entrance of the room, but no need to worry as the lodge provides scuba gear and training offered on-site so you can come unprepared but willing to learn.
The cottage-sized rooms are equipped with a shower room and bathroom, a kitchen, and even a television, but, of course, you will be much too busy watching the sea life from your oceanfront view.
You can stay overnight or even head there for a few hours just to get a feel of what it's like to be there, and all the while they'll deliver pizza straight to your room.
During your time there, you can take a guided eco excursion tour of the lagoon and check out the manatees. There is even an opportunity to see their world-famous resident sea horses while you make your way to Jules Lodge.
It's one memory that will last a lifetime.
