South-Ari-Atoll, Maldives Conrad Maldives Rangali Island
Two islands – Rangali-Finolhu & Rangali
In the South Ari Atoll, two naturally formed islands are linked by a 500-metre bridge. Rangali-Finolhu is where families and guests who enjoy company gather, while Rangali keeps a quieter rhythm, with adults-only spaces and wide ocean views. 151 villas and suites are spread between beach, lagoon and open water, from beach retreats to the world's first undersea residence. The South Ari Atoll is one of the few places in the Maldives where whale sharks can be seen year-round. Alongside Ithaa, the world's first undersea restaurant, there are twelve restaurants and bars and two spas.

Impressions
Cuisine
Twelve restaurants and bars range from barefoot beach dining through Italian and Chinese cuisine to Japanese teppanyaki. At Ithaa, you dine five metres beneath the surface while reef sharks and rays glide past overhead. Sunset Grill pairs steaks and seafood with the sunset, Koko Grill prepares teppanyaki directly above sand and sea, and Mandhoo serves plant-forward cuisine over the water.
Aaraha Champagne Bar pours champagne by the glass at sunset, and the Wine Cellar, two metres underground, hosts degustation dinners with rare vintages. On request, a table is set on the beach or in your villa.
Wellness
The Spa Retreat sits 100 metres off the tip of Rangali-Finolhu, offering holistic, locally inspired treatments for body and mind.
Two award-winning spas, daily fitness classes, personal training and outdoor yoga combine into a programme for every pace.
Experiences
In the South Ari Atoll, you can encounter whale sharks and manta rays. The house reef is only 50 metres from the beach, 42 dive sites lie nearby, and further sites are reached by speedboat. Snorkelling safaris, sunset cruises in search of dolphins, fishing and water sports from catamarans to jet packs complete the offering.
On Rangali-Finolhu, the Majaa Explorers Club with its Splash Park welcomes children aged 3 to 12, and the Furaavaru Teens' Club teenagers aged 12 to 16. A coral regeneration programme and the PADI Eco Center protect the reefs around the island.
