Eco Factor: World’s first semi-submerged hotel resort is a stunning eco-destination.
If extravagance is your motto, then you’re gonna love the “Amphibious 1000.” Designed by the Giancarlo Zema Design Group for an Arabian commission, this luxurious retreat is the first semi-submerged hotel resort in the world. Providing an opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds – land and sea — the resort resembles a big aquatic animal stretching out from the land into the sea, extending horizontally for 1km. The land area houses residential buildings, office buildings and a marina with a modern and flexible harbor. All the structures are situated in a semi-circle around the tower with the panoramic restaurant.
