The construction of The Muraka was both innovative and environmentally conscious. Each piece of the 600-ton lower level was built in Singapore and then transported to the Maldives via a specialized ship before being plunged underwater and anchored firmly in place using ten concrete pilings.

The construction of the Muraka (at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island), the world's first underwater residence, was a feat of marine engineering that took place primarily on land. The 600-ton structure was pre-fabricated in Singapore to ensure precise airtight seals and structural integrity under high pressure. Once completed, the entire lower level was loaded onto a specialized ship and transported across the Indian Ocean to the Maldives. To install it, the structure was lowered into the water using a massive crane and anchored to the seabed using ten heavy concrete pilings that were driven into the reef. Engineers used a complex system of ballast and hydraulics to submerge the dome-shaped bedroom 5 meters below the surface. The exterior is encased in a thick, curved acrylic window that provides a panoramic view of the reef while withstanding the constant pressure of the ocean. This "plug-and-play" construction method minimized damage to the local coral ecosystem while allowing for a level of luxury and safety that would have been impossible to achieve through traditional underwater building techniques.
