Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is an idyllic island paradise with a twin-island design brimming with lush tropical greenery and unparalleled access to the Indian Ocean. Nestled in the South Ari Atoll, renowned for its abundant flora and fauna, the resort combines awe-inspiring surroundings and intuitive service that connects guests with the charm of the Maldives. The resort is an explorer’s playground, surrounded by one of the country’s best diving and snorkeling areas, with whale sharks, manta rays, dolphins, turtles and a sprawling coral reef just a short boat ride away.
Commended for its pioneering achievements, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island prides itself with an offering of a sea of firsts in the Maldives. The first resort to showcase overwater villas built on stilts above the lagoon; the first to open an authentic Chinese restaurant pioneered by a celebrity chef, Ufaa by Jereme Leung. It continues to offer the largest wine lists in the region with over 15,000 bottles and up to 950 labels in The Wine Cellar, the first underground wine cellar built two meters underground. It is also the home to the World’s First Undersea Restaurant – Ithaa. Sitting five meters below the surface of the Indian Ocean, Ithaa offers 180-degree panoramic views of the vibrant coral gardens surrounding it.
Guests planning a quiet getaway can enjoy an authentic Maldivian hideaway on the Rangali Island, our couples only island, while enjoying access to the facilities of our family island, Rangali-Finolhu Island, which are linked by a 500 meter bridge. For a true wellness experience, guests can make their way to The Spa Retreat, an over-water destination spa, set 100-meter off of the tip of the main island.
The resort features 151 beautifully designed villas and is home to The Muraka, the world’s first undersea residence. The Muraka is a unique three bedroom, two-level residence with a master bedroom submerged over 16 feet below sea level. The resort is also a true gourmet’s delight with a choice of 12 restaurants and bars, two spas, a selection of culturally inspired experiences and a kids club – Majaa Explorer Hub featuring a splash park for the little ones.
At Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, guests will experience a sense of style and luxury that connects with the charm of the Maldivian surroundings, in an open and inviting way, tailor-made for pleasure.
