Underwater hotel | Sleep next to sharks, manatees and polar bears
Europe's most extraordinary underwater hotel, just over 2 hours from Calais
What if your bedroom window looked out onto sharks gliding silently through the deep? At Pairi Daiza Resort in Belgium, our underwater hotel makes that dream a reality. Choose between Shark Cove — where sharks, turtles and rays drift past your bed — or Manatee Cove, where gentle giants float by like drifting clouds. Prefer polar magic? Our original underwater rooms put you face-to-face with polar bears, walruses and penguins. Just across the Channel with 2h15 drive from Calais, this is Europe’s most extraordinary underwater hotel experience.

Everything included in your underwater hotel stay
Pairi Daiza Resort offers the most unique underwater hotel experience in Europe — and it’s closer than you think. In 2026, two entirely different underwater worlds await inside Edenya, the world’s largest tropical glasshouse:
- Shark Cove — 28 suites submerged beneath a cliff, where sharks, turtles and rays glide silently past your window. At the corridor intersections, four hand-cut mosaics of malachite, sodalite and quartz — crafted by American artist Zee Haag — glow like stained glass.
- Manatee Cove — an intimate, otherworldly retreat where gentle manatees drift past the glass like drifting clouds. Surrender to the silence and serenity of the deep.
Beyond Edenya, the classic polar underwater rooms remain among our most beloved experiences. Sleep beneath the water line alongside Pacific walruses in The Walrus House, watch polar bears swim overhead in The White Bear House, or enjoy the playful ballet of penguins from The Penguin House. These animals are rarely found in British zoos — making a stay at Pairi Daiza Resort a truly once-in-a-lifetime encounter.
Every overnight stay at the resort is on a half-board basis and includes:
- Early access to the park and our 10 worlds from 9 am on both arrival and departure day — one hour before the public
- Buffet breakfast for the whole family
- Dinner (excluding drinks) in one of our themed restaurants
- Free parking exclusively for resort guests
- Free Wi-Fi throughout your stay
- Luggage collection on arrival and departure
- A welcome pack with tea and coffee in your room
- Exclusive access to park areas outside regular opening hours
Rooms are extremely limited and availability sells out fast — particularly for the underwater suites. Visit our resort page to compare all lodge types and check live availability.
