As you glide through the clouds on a mesmerising seaplane journey, you forget the everyday. And, as you pass floating islets on the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, you know you’ve reached a destination unlike any other, and even if it’s not your first time in the Maldives, there’s always something new to grasp and experience. Offering new opportunities with every sunrise, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island provides an exclusive retreat that consistently exceeds the expectations of discerning travellers.
Your quintessential experience with Conrad Maldives Rangali Island begins in Malé, where the resort’s private lounge welcomes you to relax before you are whisked away to the heart of the Maldives’ South Ari Atoll. As you land in paradise, you’ll be warmed up by the traditional Maruhabaa, making you feel part of the island crowd straight away, melting away any tension you might need releasing.
Renowned globally for its innovative luxury and breathtaking natural beauty, the resort spans two interconnected islands, Rangali-Finolhu and Rangali Island, which you can transition between by a 500-meter bridge. Both are pockets of Maldivian charm, boasting tropical hideaways, pearlescent sands and activities to keep you busy in the sun. The 151 villas and suites are the perfect solution to your longing for rest. The accommodations range from spacious beach villas, discreetly tucked away amidst tropical greenery, to romantic overwater alternatives, giving you the chance to wake up and go to sleep suspended over the Indian Ocean.
Couples residing at Conrad Maldives Rangali can look forward to an inspirational retreat, whether you decide to float around and relax or plan a series of exhilarating activities. Mornings can be calm with a floating breakfast and a refreshing Indian Ocean swim. Excursions are planned daily, you can choose to venture out on one of the tours, from lagoon boat outings to get familiar with the vibrant resort, to witnessing the sustainable projects, such as the garden and sprawling banana plantation. There’s much to experience. Couples who want to make a difference can learn more about restoring the reefs and take part in the coral regeneration programme, in which they’ll receive their very own coral to plant and witness the growth over the years. A very special memory of your time at the resort.
There are probably many firsts you can mark off during your time on the islands. From a jet ski excursion with your love to an outing to meet the gentle whale sharks, embarking on new and exhilarating activities is always on the radar. But the unique selection of offerings is never-ending at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island. It is widely celebrated as a pioneer of hospitality in the region, particularly for its world-first achievements, such as Ithaa, the planet’s first all-glass underwater restaurant, and The Muraka, an exclusive, three-bedroom residence featuring a spectacular master bedroom submerged five meters beneath the ocean’s surface. Not only can you dine with reef sharks floating above you, but for those who wish a full-immersion under the depths of the ocean, can indulge in an experience of a lifetime by sleeping with the majestic underwater residents.
When not out and about exploring, the islands propose a feast for the senses. The culinary destinations are a significant highlight, with 12 distinctive restaurants and bars. From breakfast at Atoll Market, featuring live cooking stations to refuel your appetite after a long sleep, to ocean views and light bites with a lunch at Koko Grill, with a long-bar design for a relaxed feel. Dining is always something to look forward to during your stay. Ufaa by Jereme Leung offers a menu that showcases diverse Chinese culinary traditions with beautiful views over the horizon. Guests can enjoy signature hot pots, a variety of dim sum, and freshly handmade noodles. The Sunset Grill Restaurant is for those who love produce in its purest form, all enveloped by the beauty of a Maldivian sunset. Couples are also invited to stay in their love bubble with an intimate dining set-up on the beach under a canopy of stars, enjoying a Maldivian feast fresh off the grill, with traditional dishes to make your heart skip a beat.
Bonding at the resort comes easily with not one but two spa sanctuaries ready to welcome you to a world of relaxation. The Spa Retreat sits 100 meters off the tip of Rangali-Finolhu Island, boasting holistic treatments with panoramic views across the Indian Ocean. Spend moments of serenity with your beloved as you revel in a half-day ceremony with a Tranquil Retreat, a treatment made for couples to soak up the love in deep tranquillity.
