FEEDBACK FROM OUR GUESTS “Perfect Spot in Paradise” October 2019 2019 From the moment the waterplane sets on the waters of the Lagune, great times start for you and your loved ones. Very warm welcome from the hotel staff, and you start forgetting after minutes what you left behind in your busy world at home.

Beautiful beach & water villas, romantic sunsets, colourful fish right at the beach. Calm, private pools and beach spaces.

We stayed at the Conrad Rangali for a week, enjoyed every minute, great facilities, excellent food in the various highclass restaurants, plentiful water sports opportunities. Most impressive was the friendliness of all staff from morning to late evenings always with smiles and very useful tips for activities or anything you may wish.

Tennis great, and high class WiFi network in case you would like to send pictures from your retreat, remote island.

Highly recommendable! We plan to return as many others we met already did! Management and staff take excellent care of their fine hotel, the environment and in particular on their guests. We left much happier than we came! Thank you all Conrad Rangali!

“6 Days in PARADISE!” October 2019 My wife and I recently traveled to the Conrad Maldives for our honeymoon and it was INCREDIBLE! Looking back on it, we can’t recall any detail that wasn’t amazing. Yes it is expensive to get there, yes the food and activities are expensive, but at the end of it all, we felt everything was worth it.

We chose a different signature dining experience each night we were there and have to say our favorites were dinner at Ithaa (underwater restaurant) and the Wine Cellar dinner. The spa treatment we received (Art of Love) was the most luxurious and relaxing 3 hours either of us have ever experienced.

The staff at the resort are all so incredible and made our stay wonderful! We cannot wait to return to the Conrad Maldives someday and would fully recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious vacation.
