    The Manta Underwater Room
    Need A Deep Sleep... Hotel Offers Underwater Room
    A hotel is offering a room for those wanting a deep sleep - underwater.

    Situated off the coast of the Pemba Island Manta Resort in Zanzibar, the Manta Underwater room literally lets you sleep with the fishes.

    The cosy sleeping area, which costs $1,500 a night, features a bed surrounded by windows that allow occupants to check out the sea life.

    The Swedish-engineered floating structure provides three levels: a landing deck, a rooftop lounging area and the undersea bedroom.

    The sea-level landing deck has a lounge area and bathroom facility, while a ladder leads up to the roof for sun worshipping by day and star-gazing at night.

    Downstairs is a double bed surrounded by panes of glass affording almost 360 degrees viewing; perfect for watching the shoals of reef fish.

    Designer Mikael Genberg says: "There are exquisite, often rarely seen individuals visiting your windows. Some have taken up residence around the room, which affords them some protection from predation. For instance, three bat fish and a trumpet fish called Nick who is always swimming around and seemingly looking in."

    The Manta Underwater Room, which opened to guests on the 1 November 2013, was inspired by an art installation in a Swedish lake near Stockholm. The Utter Inn is the brainchild of Mikael Genberg, an artist and public speaker who has chosen to focus on the "making art for the public". The single room of the hotel lies 3m below the surface of Lake M (FOTO:DUKAS/REX)

    Ahoy There! Multi-Millionaire Builds Pirate Island
    A multi-millionaire family has built a PIRATE island on a lake in their 60 acre private estate - just five miles from the historic city of Cambridge.

    James Challis, a member of the Dickerson family who have been established in the area for nearly 90 years, has created the amazing pirate paradise in memory of his grandfather.

    Challis Island, which comes complete with a mock pub, day chalet and sun deck, has been built on a site originally bought by the late John Dickerson, who ran numerous successful businesses in Cambridgeshire.

    It is located between industrial lands and includes a beach with a stream, lagoon and waterfall for the family and their guests to enjoy.

    The lake was created in the 1970's, when James' great-grandfather Maurice Dickerson's company extracted sand and gravel from the site.

    After 30 years the lake had become full of silt and desperately required maintenance to sustain the wildlife that it supports.

    It has now been drained, dredged and levelled and the material used to form the pretend 18th century colonial island, which has been built from scratch.

    It holds Georgian-style colonial buildings, which were prefabricated by a company called The Master Wishmakers and designed to look as though they have been abandoned.

    They include The Black Doubloon, which is a place to entertain, and Coffer's Cabin, which is a day chalet built in the style of a military commander's office.

    Lubbers Locker is a small beach hut, whilst Dead Man's Deck is a sun deck for barbecues built in the style of the ruins of a military post.

    The whole island was hand-built by The Master Wishmakers, based in Kettering, Northants, who specialise in making their wealthy clients' dreams come true.

    Ahoy There! Multi-Millionaire Builds Pirate Island
    A multi-millionaire family has built a PIRATE island on a lake in their 60 acre private estate - just five miles from the historic city of Cambridge.

    James Challis, a member of the Dickerson family who have been established in the area for nearly 90 years, has created the amazing pirate paradise in memory of his grandfather.

    Challis Island, which comes complete with a mock pub, day chalet and sun deck, has been built on a site originally bought by the late John Dickerson, who ran numerous successful businesses in Cambridgeshire.

    It is located between industrial lands and includes a beach with a stream, lagoon and waterfall for the family and their guests to enjoy.

    The lake was created in the 1970's, when James' great-grandfather Maurice Dickerson's company extracted sand and gravel from the site.

    After 30 years the lake had become full of silt and desperately required maintenance to sustain the wildlife that it supports.

    It has now been drained, dredged and levelled and the material used to form the pretend 18th century colonial island, which has been built from scratch.

    It holds Georgian-style colonial buildings, which were prefabricated by a company called The Master Wishmakers and designed to look as though they have been abandoned.

    They include The Black Doubloon, which is a place to entertain, and Coffer's Cabin, which is a day chalet built in the style of a military commander's office.

    Lubbers Locker is a small beach hut, whilst Dead Man's Deck is a sun deck for barbecues built in the style of the ruins of a military post.

    The whole island was hand-built by The Master Wishmakers, based in Kettering, Northants, who specialise in making their wealthy clients' dreams come true.
