One resort, two islands: The unique Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is located on two tropical private islands connected by a 500-meter-long jetty and is home to the Maldives' first underwater restaurant and an extraordinary residence with a dramatic underwater suite. A color palette inspired by the Indian Ocean, featuring turquoise, sea green, and white, conveys a sense of tranquility, while thatched roofs and teak interiors add a traditional Maldivian touch to the otherwise modern design. Twelve restaurants and bars, two spas, and a range of water activities crown the barefoot luxury experience.
The main island of Rangalifinolhu was chosen for the comfortable beach villas, while the water villas are located on its smaller sister island, Rangali. The newly designed, thatched water villas stand on stilts above the lagoon and feature outdoor whirlpools or pools and a staircase leading directly into the ocean. The beach villas have private gardens with a sunken bathtub or plunge pool. Floor-to-ceiling windows, clean lines, and muted tones ensure a stylish stay. Families and larger groups can opt for the spacious Grand Water Villas, while the exclusive Muraka Residence boasts a truly unique underwater suite beneath an acrylic dome, offering views of the majestic marine life.
Gourmets will definitely get their money's worth at Conrad Rangali Island: start the day with breakfast in the relaxed Atoll Market, the resort's only buffet restaurant, or try the à la carte options at Vilu right on the beach. An absolute highlight is the underwater fine dining restaurant Ithaa, where the finest menus are paired with excellent wine – five meters below the surface. Wine lovers should not miss the five-course tasting menu in the Maldives' first underground wine cellar before ending the evening with live music at the Rangali Bar.
Every day, you are spoiled for choice when it comes to how you want to spend your day. The resort's facilities include two stunning infinity pools, one of which is for adults only, two spas, three boutiques, floodlit tennis courts, a 24-hour gym, a water sports center, and a diving center. Snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking are among the most popular options for exploring the crystal-clear waters. Dolphin watching at sunset and diving excursions are also available—many nearby spots are known for sightings of whale sharks, manta rays, and turtles.
Two dreamlike islands in the Indian Ocean, connected by a bridge: this scenery invites you to dream! As soon as you move into one of the ten spacious luxury villas, your personal dream becomes a tangible reality. The Ari Atoll provides the backdrop for your vacation, and in the underwater restaurant you can dive deep into the blue paradise. The main island of Rangalifinolhu was chosen for the comfortable beach villas, while its smaller sister island, Rangali, is home to the water villas and the spa retreat.
