CONRAD MALDIVES RANGALI ISLAND
CONRAD MALDIVES RANGALI ISLAND
Perhaps one of the best kept secrets in the Maldives:
Framed by an ocean setting of incredible beauty, this superb resort, upgraded to deluxe Conrad standards in 2007, lies on not just one but two private islands, Rangali and Rangalifinolhu Islands, surrounded by a spectacular reef and dazzling seas in the South Ari Atoll. An appealing ‘two-in-one’ concept blends the many main resort amenities on larger Rangalifinolhu with the newer Spa Retreat and the Water Villas on smaller Rangali (linked by footbridge or a short dhoni ride).
Eat at the world’s first all-glass, undersea restaurant at Ithaa, 15 feet below the waves of the Indian Ocean. Try wines from the unique underwater cellar with a great tasting menu! The ultimate escape is the Spa Retreat, an award-winning destination spa, set on stilts over the lagoon at the tip of the resort’s main island, a haven for complete rejuvenation of the body, mind and soul. It’s easy to spend your days indulging in great land and water sports, enjoying romantic private beach barbecues, or just laze in a hammock on the private beach.
