Conrad (Maldives)


Pure Escapist Fantasy is the hallmark of the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island; ‘the epitome’ to quote British Elle Magazine, ‘of every tropical paradise fantasy you ever had’. Reached by a 30 minute seaplane flight from the capital Malé, the resort lies in south Ari atoll three degrees north of the equator. Spread over two islands, linked by a 500 meter walkway and surrounded by deep blue lagoon and dramatic coral reef, the resort is an idyllic tropical paradise. Winner of ‘Best Hotel in the World' by The Sunday Times Travel Magazine (UK, 2006), it has 28 Water Villas, 12 Superior Water Villas, 6 Deluxe Water Villas, 2 Premier Water Villas, 2 Sunset Water Villas, 35 Beach Villas, 44 Deluxe Beach Villas, and 21 Spa Water Villas. Each type of villa has its own characteristics, so it’s impossible to describe all villas in detail. In the Gallery you’ll find an overview of the complete accommodation possibilities. The ultimate accommodation is a Sunset Water Villa of 250 square meters. They stand in a remote area of the lagoon, complete with their own jet boat shuttle and exclusive walkway entrance. In the night, the ocean bed below the villa offers an exclusive view of the villa’s private marine world through a spectacular glass-floored living room. The two 250m2 villas have been designed with traditional thatched roofs and Canadian Red Cedar wood, incorporating contemporary luxury furnishings. The Sunset Water Villas offer a Jacuzzi on the terrace and are furnished with the finest amenities, including a Bose surround sound DVD theatre system and two large flat-screen satellite TVs. For the ultimate extravagance, rotate the remote-control 180-degree circular bed to watch the setting sun through floor-to-ceiling windows. Conrad Maldives Rangali Island has seven restaurants of which one is the Ithaa Undersea Restaurant, set five meters below sea level and surrounded by a vibrant coral reef. Three bars will entertain you, offering 800 different types of wine. There is too much to write about this incredible resort, so download the brochure if you want to know more.
