Conrad Maldives Rangali Island

Our vacation at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island was an absolute dream. The resort is incredibly beautiful, with crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches that look like a postcard. The Stay & Atmosphere: The resort's layout is stunning. We were assigned to Villa 117 and 335, and both offered breathtaking views and great privacy. Waking up to such scenery every day was a highlight of the trip. The Dining: The breakfast experience was outstanding—especially at Vilu. The variety and quality of the food exceeded our expectations, perfectly reflecting the Conrad brand's high culinary standards. It’s the perfect way to start a day in paradise. The Service (Shout-out to Tina): What made our stay truly seamless was the exceptional service from our host, Tina. Her efficiency is unmatched—she responds to messages faster than a bot! Tina truly delivers on the Hilton Customer Promise; every request was handled with incredible speed and precision. Her proactive and timely support allowed us to fully enjoy the beauty of the island without a single worry. Highly recommend this resort and the amazing service from Tina!

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is a beautiful Island resort just 30 minutes Southwest via seaplane from the Maldivian capital city of Malé and Valena International Airport. The moment we cleared immigration and customs; we were greeted by a Conrad representative who whisked our party of 7 away in a private van transfer to the Seaplane terminal where we sorted and weighed our luggage at the Trans Maldivian Airways counter. Afterwards, we were shuttled to the Conrad airport lounge where we were inundated with snacks, pastries, drinks, and showers if needed. Right after our welcome drinks, we were informed that the seaplane was ready to board. While we didn't get to enjoy all the lounge had to offer, we much preferred to leave right away to start our family holiday as soon as possible. Our initial research and planning started 6 months prior to the arrival date and we are so happy we got the over water villas and dining reservations we wanted since we knew December was the peak season for the Maldives. After extensively reading travel blogs and YouTube videos, we are so happy to choose Conrad Maldives Rangali Island. From the beginning, our emails back and forth with the Conrad Guest Experience Representatives were professional and courteous even with my barrage of endless questions and room option scenarios. We finally decided booking the Premier Water Villa with Pool for my wife and I (Room 313) and the connecting room for our 3 adult children (Room 314). In addition, we got the Sunset Water Villa with Pool for the grandparents (Room 318) which was 1 pod of water villas away from us. If you like calm ocean waters with a Sunset view from your villa (and bed), I would highly recommend the Sunset water villas on the Rangali Island. While the Sunrise water villas on the Rangali Island were similar room types with an amazing morning view, the ocean on this side were a little bit choppier and windier as opposed to the Sunset water villas. After a smooth water landing, we were greeted by many of the staff of Conrad Rangali Island including our wonderful assigned resort host, Ulya. She helped confirm our dining reservations and was our main point of contact with the resort from housekeeping needs, to requesting a golf cart, and just about anything else via text on WhatsApp. During our stay, she was incredibly prompt and resourceful and she really made our holiday just perfect. She helped me plan a floating breakfast for our anniversary which made the wife very happy and she helped organize a birthday celebration at the wine cellar for our grandfather which he absolutely loved. In fact, every staff from maintenance to the general manager (Nick) were very friendly and attentive to our needs before we even asked. By the end of our holiday, I was just so impressed by the staff that I was the one acknowledging them with the Maldivian greeting of respect by putting your right hand over your heart, nodding and smiling to show sincerity, respect, and a heartfelt welcome. The food overall was really good, from the buffet to the specialty dining, each venue had something unique and many options. Because our holiday coincided with Christmas, the resort had several special occasions which included an elegant Christmas Eve gala with live music and performances by local performers; a festive Christmas brunch and Santa's arrival for the kids; and a grand Noel Christmas evening feast. We also had lunch at the Ithaa undersea restaurant which was an incredible experience with all the reef sharks and fish that we couldn't stop taking pictures even as the food was being served. I would recommend putting on sunblock or a hat as lunch time can get very bright and warm in the restaurant. We also had dinner at the wine cellar restaurant which was absolutely great. From the sommelier to the chef and to the staff, they really made this dinner experience incredibly enjoyable and memorable. Our holiday at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island was probably one of the best family holidays we ever had. I would absolutely recommend booking your next vacation to the Maldives at Conrad Rangali Island. The cleanliness of the water villas, the welcoming and talented staff, the above and beyond general manager, the selection and quality of the food, the water activities are all just top notch for the value of the cost. While this is not the most expensive nor the least expensive resort out of the 160 island resorts in the Maldives in our research, we felt this is the best value for the cost for our family. This was by no means an inexpensive holiday, but all 7 of us really enjoyed our stay and we still can't stop talking about our experience at the Conrad Rangali Islands. The Maldives was one of bucket list of places to visit, and we cannot wait to go back again.

During my stay at the Conrad Maldives, I enjoyed several massage treatments, and I can confidently say that Sylvia and Lerma are the best therapists you can choose. They are highly skilled, attentive, and incredibly professional. Their techniques are perfectly tailored to individual needs, turning every session into a truly relaxing and healing experience. Sylvia’s massage is deep yet gentle, precisely targeting tension and sore spots to release stress effectively. Lerma’s approach, on the other hand, focuses more on overall balance — her treatment feels like a soothing energy therapy that refreshes you from the inside out. If you’re looking for a massage that will truly relax both your body and mind during your stay at the Conrad Maldives, Sylvia and Lerma are definitely the top recommendation. Highly recommended! ✨🏝️

Our assigned guide Khaleel, along with the rest of the staff, was outstanding. He made our stay 100x better as he accommodated our every need whenever possible. The island had phenomenal food, exciting activities, leisurely places, and friendly staff. Best vacation I’ve been on to date. If I had muster up some constructive criticism, the bicycles we used to get around the island could have been maintained better in terms of tire pressure.

This is our second time as a family of four in this lovely paradise island. There are so many 5 star hotels and impressive constructions in the Maldives, but none have the soul and service Conrad Rangali has. Every important detail of your stay is well thought out, and even in unexpected situations the staff goes above and beyond to provide you with whatever you need. This time we were unfortunate to have a toddler with temperature during our stay, and they had an amazing doctor Hamsa on call 24/7 for us with all the necessary medications available. The food is superb…variety is very important to us and, even though we stayed for 2 weeks, we didn’t have a dull moment in that department. Both the food and the waiters deserve top marks. The beaches are taken care of by sending - lots of work done offseason to have everything so perfect when tourists come. The greenery is impacable and massive…they actually also have a local hydrophonic garden we visited and very skilled people taking care of their plants. The most important aspect in our stay was the people working here. Special thanks to our capable and attentive hotel manager Dunkan, our very warm and organised concierge main guy Abxy, all the super fun people in the water sports centre (best 8-14year old nannies on the island), and smiling ladies in the kids club who make sure no kid ever cries in there. You can feel they all work as one family, so we will always feel Conrad Rangali to be our Maldives home.
