The day after tax day is the last time any sane person would want to think about spending money, much less travel. But that’s why it is the perfect time to dream about what we would do if we had a lot of cash. The timing couldn’t be better, because Condé Nast Traveler just debuted the first underwater villa located on the ocean floor of the Maldives.

Yea, you can sleep on the coral reefs like the Little Mermaid for a heart-stopping $50,000 a night. The construction of the villa topped out at $15 million, and the view is worth every penny. You can snack on high-end seafood while sharks swim overhead in a fluorescent underwater sunset.

Now, I know I will never stay there. But I can always daydream about winning the lottery and building a house like this for myself.
