Conrad Maldives Rangali Island

Twice voted 'best hotel in the world', this stunning twin-island retreat in the  Maldives' South Ari Atoll features designer rooms, suites and villas, private white-sand beaches and one of the world's most iconic restaurants. 

The resort's villas are located across two islands connected by a wooden bridge. Spread along the beaches of Rangalifinolhu are 100 beach villas, and across the water on the smaller island of Rangali are 50 exquisite over-water villas. Villas located by the beach feature a terrace, air-conditioning and an open-air bathroom while upgrades add in the likes of private plunge pools, private courtyards and spa bath pavilions. Spa Villas are located near the Spa retreat, each with a massage pavilion, and Water Villas come with with ocean-view baths and sun decks – two of which have glass floors. And, from November 2018, the all-new Muraka residence offers the Maldives' very first underwater bedroom. Sitting five metres below the waves, privileged guests will enjoy exclusive views out to Rangali's underwater world, while above the water line, a further bedroom along with a dining and entertainment space completes the experience. Oh yes, and it's all served by a team of dedicated butlers. 

Elsewhere, there's an incredible selection of bars and restaurants serving wide ranging cuisine in some truly memorable settings, with the incredible Ithaa, the first all-glass undersea restaurant, where you can observe parrot fish and manta rays as you dine on exquisite Maldivian specialities, being the star of the show. Guests will also enjoy two luxurious spas, a fitness centre, swimming pool, diving, snorkelling and an open-air beachside cinema.
