Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, Hotel and resort in the Maldives
Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is a resort spread across two natural islands in the South Ari Atoll, connected by a small footbridge. One island is geared toward families while the other is reserved for adults only.
The resort opened in 1997 as the first major hotel brand to operate in the Maldives. Since then it has gone through several rounds of renovation, with new spa areas and refreshed restaurants scheduled for 2026.
Getting to the resort from Malé airport requires a seaplane ride of about 30 to 40 minutes, offering views of atolls and reefs along the way. Renovation work is planned for 2026, though the resort remains open throughout.
Ithaa is the world's first underwater restaurant, sitting 5 meters below the surface inside a glass tunnel where sharks and rays swim past during meals. The Muraka is the world's first underwater residence, a two-floor structure with a bedroom that sits beneath the waterline.
