Conrad Maldives Rangali Island

Conrad Maldives Rangali features in Ampersand's Top 10 Winter Sun Destinations and our Top 10 Romantic Retreats. 

This romantic resort offers sophisticated luxury surrounded by glorious natural beauty. Split between two islands and surrounded by a coral reef and lagoon, the resort is perfect for those who wish to have a bit more space to wander. Each of the islands has their own choice of facilities and villas yet is accessible to all residents.

With 150 villas ranging from one-bedroom beach villas to water villas with plunge pools and all the way up to three-bedroom beach suites with private pools, Conrad Rangali suits both couples and families alike. Each of the villas are sympathetically designed to fit in with the surroundings and are decorated in neutral colours, fitting for the perfect beach house experience.

As you would expect from any Conrad property, they are renowned for their courteous service and attention to detail.  The resort is also home to award winning restaurants and was also the first property in the world to open an underwater restaurant. Overall, there are 7 restaurants to choose from (perfect for foodies!) with cuisine ranging from Mediterranean to Japanese. There are also 2 bars alongside a dedicated area for adults only at ‘The Quiet Zone’ where cocktails can be enjoyed. The resort is also known for their private dining experiences, whether that be on the beach or in their private wine cellar, so if you are planning a special occasion, do let us know!

Conrad Rangali is also well equipped for those who enjoy activities as well as lounging on their glorious white beaches. The Dive Centre can help organize diving courses as well as diving and snokelling trips. There are also water sports on offer which include; kayaking, jet skiing, water skiing, paddle boarding as well as catamaran sailing. During the season, wind surfing is also possible.

There is also an overwater spa as well as a spa retreat which most certainly should be enjoyed at least once on your trip. The fitness studio is open 24/7 with trainers on hand to help during the day. For those who enjoy yoga, daily classes are run by Conrad Rangali’s resident instructor. Should you like to be even more active, there is also a tennis court as well as beach volleyball to be enjoyed. Of course, the opportunity to do absolutely nothing is always there too.

Conrad Rangali is located in the beautiful South Ari Atoll and accessed by either domestic flight or a short 30-minute sea plane journey from Male airport. For those who wish to arrive in style, you can also charter Conrad Rangali’s luxury yacht and sail 4 hours from Male to the resort.
