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 offers an unforgettable experience that combines stunning natural beauty with world-class amenities and services.
Hotel
Getting to the resort is an experience in itself. After landing at Malé International Airport, you’ll embark on a scenic seaplane journey that provides breath-taking aerial views of the Maldives’ turquoise waters and coral reefs. As you approach the resort, you’ll 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, you’ll find the softest, fine, 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.
This is a resort people, like us, return to time and time again. A key part of this is down to Conrad Maldives Rangali Island’s service. The staff not only maintains the highest standards of professionalism but also exudes warmth and attentiveness. They go the extra mile to make your stay memorable, from remembering your name to arranging personalised experiences and sharing photographs they’ve captured of sunsets and wildlife.
Returning and first-time guests can also be reassured this truly special resort is deeply committed to preserving the pristine environment that surrounds it. Initiatives include coral reef restoration programs, waste reduction measures, and responsible sourcing of seafood. Guests are invited to participate in these efforts through educational experiences like coral planting.
Room
The delights continue inside as Conrad Maldives Rangali Island offers a variety of luxury accommodations, all designed with meticulous attention to detail. Our favourites, the overwater villas, are a real highlight and feature direct access to the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean.
These villas are spacious and welcoming havens, and boast spacious sundecks with infinity pools. Little beats relaxing in the privacy of your own deck with a glass or two of fine champagne, watching pods of dolphin glide by, and the sun set in a blaze of amber and gold. You might even get to glimpse the hallowed ‘green flash’ 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 and drink
Food enthusiasts will be in culinary heaven at this resort. It’s home to Ithaa, the world’s first 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, offering delectable seafood and prime cuts. The Mandhoo Spa Restaurant specialises 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.
We enjoyed a blissful Champagne and lobster celebratory dinner right on the beach just as the sun was setting on our final evening – a perfect end to our treasured return (third time!) stay.
Spa
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 offers a range of indulgent treatments, from massages to facials, using natural and organic products. The glass-floored treatment rooms provide a unique experience as you watch the marine life below while being thoroughly pampered.
To do
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 resort’s Dive Centre offers excursions for divers of all levels, allowing you to explore the rich marine biodiversity, swim alongside colourful fish, graceful manta rays, and the gentle giants of the sea, whale sharks.
While relaxation is paramount, the resort also offers numerous activities to keep you entertained. You can embark on dolphin-watching cruises, enjoy big-game fishing expeditions, or partake in water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding. Families will appreciate the Kids’ Club, ensuring that guests of all ages have a memorable stay.
Sunsets in the Maldives are nothing short of magical, and the resort offers multiple vantage points to enjoy them. Whether you’re swinging on beachfront swings, enjoying a private dinner on your villa’s deck, or taking a sunset cruise, each evening’s sunset is a breath-taking spectacle. After dark, the clear skies provide exceptional stargazing opportunities.
