Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is famous for one thing above all others: Ithaa, the world’s first all-glass undersea restaurant, which sits five metres below the surface of the Indian Ocean and serves Contemporary European cuisine surrounded by coral and marine life. But this resort is much more than its Instagram moment.
Two Islands
The resort spans two islands connected by a footbridge: Rangali Island (adults-only) and Rangalifinolhu Island (all guests). This clever division means couples can enjoy genuine quiet on the adult island while families enjoy the livelier main island. It’s a model that works extraordinarily well.
The Villas
150 beach and water villas. The Water Villas are among the most recognisable in the Maldives — long jetties extending into a turquoise lagoon. The Sunset Water Villas face west for spectacular evening light. The Romantic Water Retreat has a private 16m pool over the ocean.
Ithaa Undersea Restaurant
Dining at Ithaa is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. A panoramic 270-degree acrylic tunnel surrounds you with coral gardens and fish. The six-course Contemporary European menu is genuinely excellent — this is not just a gimmick. Dinner from $350 per person; book months in advance.
Price & Value
Beach villas from $900/night, Water Villas from $1,400/night. Competitive for the quality delivered, especially on the adults-only island. Hilton Honors points earning and redemption available.
