A30 MINUTE SEAPLANE flight away from Malé’s Velana Internatio­nal Airport, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is located in Alifu Dhaalu Atoll, in the midst of the Maldives’ best diving and snorkellin­g sites. The resort is spread across two private islands connected by a 500-metre footbridge. Its 151 purposeful­ly designed villas and suites, 12 award-winning restaurant­s and bars, two spas, and a kids club promise a well-rounded holiday.

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island takes pride in offering a sea of firsts in the archipelag­o. The highlights include a first-of-its-kind wine cellar built two metres below the ground; it offers up to 800 labels of wine along with a six-course degustatio­n menu. The resort is also home to the world’s first undersea restaurant. Sitting five metres below the surface of the Indian Ocean, Ithaa offers 180° panoramic views of the vibrant coral gardens surroundin­g it.

Then there is THE MURAKA, a two-level private residence with a master bedroom submerged five metres below sea level. Make your way down the spiral staircase to a private underwater aquarium with a dedicated tunnel viewing theatre. conradmald­ives.com
