Discover unparalleled diving and dining at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island

Dive into the natural splendour of the South Ari Atoll

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is a sanctuary of not one, but two spectacular islands connected by a 500-meter bridge. This idyllic location is a dream come true for nature lovers, thanks to its pristine beaches, lush flora, and colourful marine life. The South Ari Atoll is notably the only place on Earth where whale sharks can be spotted year-round. For divers and snorkellers, the resort’s house reef - just 50 meters from the beach - promises the chance for up-close encounters with an awe-inspiring underwater world teeming with radiant corals, turtles, and tropical fish.

Conrad Maldives also offers curated ocean adventures that bring guests closer to these aquatic marvels. Whether it’s swimming alongside gentle manta rays, embarking on a thrilling speedboat dive into deeper waters, or enjoying guided snorkelling safaris, every underwater experience is designed to immerse you in the magic of the Maldives.

A culinary odyssey

The resort boasts 12 exceptional dining concepts, each one thoughtfully crafted to tantalise your taste buds. At the heart of this foodie paradise is the world-renowned Ithaa Undersea Restaurant, the first of its kind. Set five meters beneath the crystal-clear waters, Ithaa offers a surreal underwater dining experience where gourmet meals are paired with mesmerising views of marine life.

For enthusiasts of international cuisine, the choices are equally remarkable:

Ufaa by Jereme Leung brings authentic Chinese flavours to life with delicacies like handmade noodles and flavourful dim sum.

Atoll Market invites guests on a culinary world tour with its live stations and a showcase of global cuisines.

Vilu Restaurant and Bar, an oceanfront spot, serves an elevated Italian menu complemented by fine wines and panoramic views of the Indian Ocean.

For a touch of theatre, treat yourself to the eight-course extravaganza at Koko Grill, where Japanese teppanyaki is prepared live beneath a blanket of stars. If you prefer a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, the Cheese and Wine Bar—the Maldives’ only purposely designed venue of its kind—allows you to discover over 50 varieties of artisan cheeses paired with expertly selected wines.

The Muraka – A world beneath the waves

For guests seeking to extend their underwater experience further The Muraka, the world’s first underwater residence is the perfect fit. This architectural masterpiece offers a two-level experience seamlessly blending overwater and underwater living. The upper-level features two elegantly designed bedrooms, a luxurious infinity pool, and 24/7 butler service for an unmatched level of hospitality. However, the true magic lies below the ocean's surface, where the master bedroom takes centre stage. Submerged over 16 feet below sea level, its curved acrylic dome provides a 180-degree panoramic view of the vibrant marine life, creating an intimate and immersive connection to the Maldivian waters.

Tailored experiences for everyone

Couples will love the intimacy of Rangali island and are invited to escape into the tranquility of this dedicated adults-only sanctuary. Start your mornings with an à la carte breakfast at Vilu Restaurant and end the day with a private candlelit dinner at Ithaa or take in a fiery sunset during an open-air meal at Sunset Grill.

Conrad Maldives isn’t just for couples; families, too, will find their perfect slice of heaven. The resort takes family-friendly luxury to new heights with activities that cater to every generation. The Majaa Explorers Club provides children aged 3-12 years old with an energetic splash park and ‘edu-taining’ activities immersed in Maldivian culture and marine life, while the Furaavaru Teens’ Club ensures adolescents are engaged and entertained.
