The Conrad Maldives is set on spectacular Rangali Island and offers sophisticated barefoot luxury. At the new Spa Village, which is built over a lagoon at the tip of nearby Ranglifinolhu Island, guests can expect in-villa treatment rooms and private sundecks.

Elsewhere the villas come with eye-catching features, such as circular rotating beds and glass-floored living rooms, kidney-shaped plunge pools and lap pools. All villas feature teak sun terraces, plasma-screen TVs and Bose surround-sound systems. The aquarium style Ithaa Underwater Restaurant offers a 360 degree view of the surrounding reef.
