October 17, 2018: Finolhu, a luxury resort island in Maldives, unveiled a stunning new ‘Beach Bubble’ tent – the first of its kind in the archipelago – on a secluded stretch of its famed Fish & Crab Shack sandbank. Conceived and custom-designed by Eye In The Sky, the transparent inflatable bubble is a unique, inspiring environment where guests can enjoy an incredible, closer-to-nature experience – without compromising on high-spec design and luxurious creature comforts.
Constructed using super-strong, high tech polyester fabric, the Bubble Tent provides a UV-protected, fully waterproof, climate-controlled cocoon that offers guests a uniquely immersive nature experience. The Bubble is an exclusive worldwide patented Precontraint Serge Ferrari technology and has distinctive properties in terms of resistance, dimensional stability and light weight, eliminating deformation due to load and offering a longer useful life. The interiors feature custom-fitted wooden floors and bespoke furnishings, and a separate adjoining bubble bathroom with WC and shower.
It is located in a secluded spot along Finolhu’s 1.5km sandpit, far from the buzz of the island’s iconic 1 OAK Beach Club. As part of the resort’s one-night Dream Eclipse experience, a short sunset stroll leads guests to their very own Bubble Beach hideaway where they can relax, enjoy a beach BBQ with a Maldivian twist, and then retreat into their private bubble for an unforgettable night under endless stars. On waking up, guests can watch the sunrise over breakfast at the water’s edge.
Price: US$600++ per couple
