Polish company Deep Water Technology has already designed a futuristic-looking luxury hotel made up of spaceship-like discs, built partially underwater to offer guests views of their marine surroundings. Hotels based on these designs are already planned to be built in Dubai and the Maldives.
The Skyscanner report says the same underwater concept could soon be applied to spas, gardens and pools.
