Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is a destination that consistently pushes the boundaries of island engineering and luxury hospitality. It famously introduced the world’s first glass undersea restaurant (Ithaa) and the first undersea residence (The Muraka). The resort’s dual-island concept is its greatest strength: the larger island is a paradise for families and active travelers, while the smaller Rangali Island acts as a quiet sanctuary for couples. As a certified PADI Eco Center, it is particularly renowned for its year-round encounters with whale sharks and manta rays in the South Ari Atoll.
Amenities & Inclusions While the resort follows a traditional luxury model, it provides high-value dining and wellness infrastructure:
Gastronomy: 12 award-winning restaurants and bars, including Ithaa for undersea dining, Koko Grill (Japanese beach-side), and a dedicated Cheese and Wine Bar featuring 101 of the world’s finest cheeses.
Wellness: Two distinct spas—The Spa Retreat on the main island and the Over-Water Spa on Rangali Island, which features glass-bottomed treatment rooms.
Majordome Service: Guests in top-tier suites and The Muraka receive dedicated 24-hour butler service (Island Hosts).
Sustainability: A 500-sqm hydroponic garden provides fresh produce for the island's kitchens, part of a resort-wide initiative to eliminate 80% of single-use plastics.
How Private Is This Island? Privacy at Conrad is architectural. On the adults-only Rangali Island, the water villas are staggered to ensure total seclusion on sun decks. For the ultimate in status and isolation, The Muraka sits in its own private corner of the lagoon with its own arrival jetty and staff quarters, allowing guests to remain entirely invisible to the rest of the resort. Even on the family island, Beach Villas are tucked behind lush tropical foliage, creating a "walled garden" feel that leads directly to the sand.
