It’s both thrilling and liberating planning a trip far away. With many trips on hold, there’s much excitement in looking ahead to travel’s triumphant return in 2022. Let’s welcome the new year with a renewed hope for travel, rewriting our wish lists for our next dream getaway. And when it is time to explore again, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is ready to assist in planning and creating exciting new memories in one of the world’s most sought-after destinations.
A short seaplane ride away Male’s Velana International Airport, the beautiful resort is situated among Maldives’ best diving and snorkelling spots. Nestled in a unique atoll surrounded by azure blue water, powdery white sand and diverse marine life, the resort is primed to welcome travellers to paradise with an enhanced promise of safety and wellbeing.
The resort features 151 purposefully designed villas and suites, a choice of 12 award-winning restaurants and bars, two spas, a selection of culturally-inspired experiences, and a kids club, Majaa Explorer Hub, featuring a splash park. And to further inspire guests’ connection to the Maldives, the resort also offers eco-activities for both adults and children ranging from coral planting, beach clean-ups and a coral reef regeneration initiative with the resort’s marine biologists.
Commended for its pioneering achievements, Conrad Maldives prides itself in offering many Maldives ‘firsts’: the first resort to showcase overwater villas built on stilts above the lagoon; the first to open an authentic Chinese restaurant pioneered by a celebrity chef, Jereme Leung; while continuing to offer the region’s largest wine lists (15,000-plus bottles and up to 950 labels) from the first underground wine cellar. It is also the home to the world’s first undersea restaurant, Ithaa, five metres below the Indian Ocean’s surface, with 180-degree panoramic views of vibrant coral gardens.
Guests planning a quiet getaway can enjoy an authentic Maldivian hideaway on Rangali Island while enjoying access to the facilities of the larger and livelier Rangali-Finolhu Island, linked by a 500m bridge. For a true wellness experience, The Spa Retreat is an over-water destination spa, 100m off the tip of the main island.
The MURKA is the latest architectural marvel. Introduced in 2018, it’s the world’s first undersea residence—a first-of-its-kind, two-level residence with a master bedroom submerged over five metres below sea level. MURAKA, which means ‘coral’ in Dhivehi, epitomises how the residence lives and thrives among the natural landscape of the Indian Ocean.
At Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, guests will experience a sense of style and luxury that complements the charm of the Maldivian surroundings, in an open and inviting way, all tailor-made for pleasure.
