Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is built across two connected islands in South Ari Atoll — see our Ari Atoll guide — one generally used for overwater and beach villas, the other more focused on dining and quieter villa categories, joined by a bridge over the lagoon.
Ithaa undersea restaurant
The resort's best-known feature is Ithaa, opened in 2005 as one of the first fully submerged restaurants in the world — a glass-walled dining room set several metres below the surface, looking directly out onto the surrounding reef. It remains one of the most distinctive single features of any resort in the country.
Location advantage
Being in South Ari puts the resort within reach of the atoll's year-round whale shark sightings — see our whale sharks & manta rays guide — a genuine draw for guests specifically interested in that encounter rather than reef diving alone.
