The world’s first undersea residence

With more than 100 resorts in the Maldives, it can be hard to decipher true points of distinction between one idyllic private-island retreat and another – overwater villas, Asian-inspired spas, dolphin-watching excursions and even aerial yoga classes are now nationwide staples.

This winter, however, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island will welcome guests to a residence unlike anything else on offer in the Indian Ocean: opening in November 2018, The Muraka is being touted by Conrad Hotels&Resorts as the world’s first undersea residence.
