Conrad Maldives Rangali Island Resort
The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island Resort is a place where dreams of tropical
paradise come to life. Located in the beautiful South Ari Atoll, this luxurious resort
o昀ers an unforgettable experience that combines stunning natural beauty with
world-class amenities and services.
Getting to the resort is an experience in itself. After landing at Malé International
Airport, you9ll embark on a scenic seaplane journey that provides breath-taking
aerial views of the Maldives9 turquoise waters and coral reefs. As you approach the
resort, you9ll spot the two private islands connected by a wooden bridge, setting
the stage for an exclusive and secluded getaway.
Unlike many man-made islands where the sand can be coarse and sharp with
coral fragments, here, you9ll 昀nd the softest, 昀ne, snow-white sands, lapped by the
clearest of seas teeming with marine life, including majestic manta rays. This is
a particularly naturally beautiful resort, with mesmerising picture-perfect vistas
everywhere.
The delights continue inside too as Conrad Maldives Rangali Island o昀ers a variety
of luxury accommodations, all designed with meticulous attention to detail. Our
favourites, the Overwater Villas are a real highlight, featuring direct access to the
crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean. These villas are spacious and welcoming
havens, and boast spacious sundecks, in昀nity pools. Little beats relaxing in the
privacy of your own deck with a glass or two of 昀ne champagne, watching pods of
dolphins glide by, and the sun set in a blaze of amber and gold. You might even
get to glimpse the hallowed 8green 昀ash9 phenomena if you are lucky.
For those who prefer an on-land idyll, there are an array of elegant Beach Villas
with their own private pools, nestled in lush tropical greenery to provide a more
secluded atmosphere.
Food enthusiasts will be in culinary heaven at this resort. It9s home to Ithaa, the
world9s 昀rst all-glass underwater restaurant, where you can dine while being
surrounded by vibrant marine life. Other dining options include the romantic
beachfront restaurant, Sunset Grill, o昀ering delectable seafood and prime cuts.
The Mandhoo Spa Restaurant specializes in healthy and delicious cuisine, while
the Cheese and Wine Bar caters to connoisseurs. For those who prefer to dine in
the privacy of their villa, 24-hour room service is available.
For those who like to be active, the Maldives is famous for its coral reefs, and
Conrad Rangali Island is no exception. Snorkelling and diving enthusiasts will be
thrilled by the stunning underwater world here. The resort9s Dive Center o昀ers
excursions for divers of all levels, allowing you to explore the rich marine
biodiversity, swim alongside colourful 昀sh, graceful manta rays, and the gentle
giants of the sea, whale sharks.
While relaxation is paramount, the resort also o昀ers numerous activities to keep
you entertained. You can embark on dolphin-watching cruises, enjoy big-game
昀shing expeditions, or partake in water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding.
Families will appreciate the Kids9 Club, ensuring that guests of all ages have a
memorable stay.
No visit to any top Maldives resort would be complete without a visit to a spa.
The Over-Water Spa at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is one of the best and a
sanctuary of relaxation and rejuvenation. Perched above the lagoon, it o昀ers a
range of indulgent treatments, from massages to facials, using natural and organic
products. The glass-昀oored treatment rooms provide a unique experience as you
watch the marine life below while being thoroughly pampered.
Sunsets in the Maldives are nothing short of magical, and the resort o昀ers multiple
vantage points to enjoy them. Whether you9re swinging on beachfront swings,
enjoying a private dinner on your villa9s deck, or taking a sunset cruise, each
evening9s sunset is a breathtaking spectacle. After dark, the clear skies provide
exceptional stargazing opportunities. We enjoyed a blissful Champagne and
Lobster celebratory dinner right on the beach just as the sun was setting on our
昀nal evening 3 a perfect end to our treasured return (3rd time!) stay.
This is a resort people, like us, return to time and time again. A key part of this is
down to Conrad Maldives Rangali Island9s service. The sta昀 not only maintains the
highest standards of professionalism but also exudes warmth and attentiveness.
