CONRAD MALDIVES RANGALI ISLAND

Nestled among swathes of lush tropical greenery and the aquamarine waters of South Ari Atoll, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is an overwater resort with the X-factor. Its twin-island design, breathtaking surroundings, intuitive service and sustainability ethos connects guests to the charm of the Maldives. Unplug from the stress of your busy life in one of Conrad Maldives Rangali Island exclusive villas – dotted across two islands in a variety of beach or overwater locations, with stylish integrated indoor- outdoor living, private pools and Indian Ocean views. At 451-square metres, the two-bedroom Rangali Ocean Pavilion with Pool is an especially indulgent overwater haven. Spend days lounging around the infinity pool on the sprawling sundeck or take to crystal-clear ocean straight from your villa. The Pavilion boasts two bedrooms and bathrooms with ocean-view tubs and rain showers, central living with glass-panelled floors and a kitchenette. For a romantic touch, when the night falls, enjoy sumptuous dining, prepared by a private chef, on your deck. Gastronomes are in for a culinary delight with myriad

experiences from private beach dinners to the World’s First Undersea Restaurant – Ithaa – where, surrounded by vibrant coral gardens metres below the ocean surface, guests dine on superb fusion cuisine matched with fine wines. Other highlights include contemporary Chinese restaurant, UFAA, helmed by celebrity chef Jeremy Leung, and Atoll Market’s live cooking stations for breakfast and dinner. If you fancy a tipple or two, you’ll find barefoot beach bars and a wine cellar featuring up to 15,000 bottles and 950 labels. Fringed by coral reefs, guests can snorkel with whale sharks, manta rays, dolphins and turtles or dive at one of the many sites located near the resort. There’s also a variety of water sports from paddle boarding and kayaking to electric foiling and X-Jetblading. Or perhaps you’d prefer to laze on the postcard pretty beach or by one of the two infinity pools.

Don’t miss out on a treatment at one of the two award- winning spas, both offering a holistic and locally inspired experience aimed at nurturing mind, body and soul. The Overwater Spa is a highlight with its glass-floored treatment rooms and signature rituals.
