Holidaymakers can now spend nights sleeping beneath the surface of the ocean at this partially submerged hotel suite in the Zanzibar archipelago. 度假者现在可以在桑给巴尔群岛(东非坦桑尼亚东部城市——译者注)的半水下酒店套房内度过海底之夜。
Located 250 metres off the coast of Pemba Island, the Underwater Room forms parts of the Manta Resort, a holiday retreat on the mainland of the island, and comprises a three-storey floating structure with its lowest level positioned four metres beneath the water. 位于奔巴岛海岸外250米处的水下客房是Manta Resort(岛上的一家度假寓所)的一部分,为三层悬浮结构,底层处于水下四米。
After being escorted to the remote suite by boat, guests use a staircase to descend to their underwater bedroom, where windows on every wall allow 360 degree views of the underwater coral reef and sea life. 经船送达偏远客房后,客人沿楼梯下至水下卧房,房间四面开窗实现了360度观赏海底珊瑚礁和海洋生物。
"Some [reef fish] have taken up residence around the room, which affords them some protection from predators," said the resort owners. "For instance, three bat fish and a trumpet fish called Nick who is always swimming around and seemingly looking in!" “许多岩礁鱼停留在客房周围以免受掠食者的保护”寓所主说:“比如,三条蝙蝠鱼和一条名叫尼克的凤尾鱼总是悠游于客房周围,似在向内张望!”
Coral is expected to grow around the outer walls, plus underwater spotlights are fitted below the windows to encourage squid and colourful sea slugs to come into view. 珊瑚将沿外墙生长,窗下安置的水下聚光灯吸引着鱿鱼和五彩斑斓的海蛞蝓进入视野。
The structure was designed and built by Swedish company Genberg Underwater Hotels and takes its cues from Utter Inn, a floating structure on Lake Malaren in Sweden that was modelled on a traditional Scandinavian house. 结构由瑞典Genberg水下酒店公司设计并建造,灵感取自Utter Inn——瑞典Malaren湖上一个模仿传统斯堪的纳维亚房屋的悬浮建筑物。
Like this structure, the Underwater Room has a timber-clad upper section that sits above the water. This includes lounge and bathroom facilities, as well as a roof deck that can be used for either sunbathing or stargazing. 像这个建筑一样,水下客房拥有露于水上的木表面上部,包括休息室和浴室设施,以及一个可晒日光浴和眺望星空的屋顶平台。
