A Great Idea Poseidon Undersea Resort That Never Was

Have you ever found out about something and think it is a perfect idea? The Poseidon Undersea Resorts was a proposed chain of underwater five-star resorts that was first slated to open by September 2008. The first was to be located on a private island in Fiji. The project was to be the world's first permanent one-atmosphere seafloor structure. Not all great ideas make it.  Here is the story of what could have been.

The Plans

The Resort was to provide all the comforts, conveniences and opportunities only a five-star resort can offer, Poseidon’s Mysterious Island is the culmination of every elite vacationer’s vision. The proposed location was Katafanga Island in Fiji. With a design concept in mind, Jones needed to find an appropriate location. To help find it, Jones offered a $10,000 reward for anybody that came up with the perfect location for the venture. After taking the suggestion of a business associate, who recommended a reef off Eleuthera, an island in the Bahamas, negotiations began with the island's American owners. The negotiations did not go well, and after a year of failed back-and-forth offers the location was scrapped and sights were set off Fiji. The Poseidon undersea resort still doesn't exist.

At a real Tucson Bed & Breakfast

What a great adventure this idea could have grown into. But lack of money lead to the idea never reaching its goal.

Planned activities were to be for adventurers who wish to explore the unimaginable, like maneuvering a personal Triton submarine through a lagoon, exploring the ocean’s depths as the passenger of a 1,000-foot luxury submersible, and scuba diving in pristine waters. Those who seek solitude will find the epitome of relaxation when indulging in marine-focused spa treatments and meditation under the gaze of only the moon and stars. Whether traveling alone, as a pair, or in a group, you will find what you seek.             

Services were to include two fine dining establishments, one on land and one below the sea, presenting plates of culinary excellence day and night. A dive shop and retail boutique will also be at your service, along with a library/lounge, theater area and conference room/wedding chapel. Fitness amenities include a nine-hole executive golf course, tennis courts, private splash pools and a fitness center.
             
And then there’s your definitive playground… the ocean.

Teh idea was so you could hold a unforgettable wedding or a vox–renewal ceremony, or if you simply wish to experience a romantic escapade without bounds. Poseidon’s facilities are un–matched. And there’s no need to worry about the details; our wedding/event consultants and guest services staff will help make your wishes come true.

Underwater
Or, for a wedding ceremony or vow renewal truly unlike any other, reserve the undersea chapel. This splendid space offers an enchanting environment made all the more interesting with its ever-changing backdrop: a transparent wall overlooking a coral garden. After the ceremony, guests could be escorted to the dining room for cocktails and gourmet hors d’oeuvres as our staff quickly rearranges the space to produce a dance floor and suitable sit-down dining arrangements.

Outdoors
There’s something undeniably sensual about the sea: the salty fragrance of the ocean’s breeze, the rhythmic beat of the surf, the gentle curve of a rising wave… Plans for you and your partner could gladly abandon yourselves to this all-enveloping world where each sense is heightened. Want your ceremony to take place in private, on the sand, at sundown, under a white hibiscus-covered arbor with a steel drum band performing? 

But sad to say this never happened. The resort was to feature twenty-four 550-square-foot guest rooms, an underwater restaurant and bar, a library, conference room, wedding chapel, spa and a 1,200-square-foot luxury suite. Reservations at the resort were to be priced at $30,000 per couple per week.
