Very good experience after we arrived this small island, the hotel explain Conrad’s core brand gene. It is pure and natural here, and in a good weather condition, you could take amazing pictures at the water house. Ahmed Khaleel is quite good, after we arrived, provide a patient introduction about all the island. And take good care of us. Most significantly, hotel has an awesome Chinese restaurant that has named Uffa. Provides very good dim sum and Chinese cuisines.

One of my favourite relaxing vacation at Maldives Conrad. Was here for a short while, 3 Days 2 Nights. Perfect for chilling by the seaside and beautiful sunsets to be seen almost everyday. Rooms were great and we could go down to the waters anytime we felt like it! I love how clear the night skies are. Could almost see the Milky Way! Great spa experience, snorkelling with the sea turtles and corals, boat ride fishing, paddle boarding and more! Swipe to see more beautiful snaps!

🌊 First Spark with the Sea At dawn's first light, the glassy ocean stirs awake. Bare feet meet the wooden deck of an overwater villa as tides hum lullabies over the jetty. Slip on a snorkel mask and plunge beneath the surface—instantly falling into a liquid dreamscape. Electric-blue skipjack tuna dart past fingertips, sea turtles carry sunlight through coral labyrinths, while baby sharks weave through sunbeams like mysterious letters penned by the ocean. At dusk, aboard a traditional dhoni, dolphins leap from the bow’s wake as silver-blue notes composing an impromptu rhapsody against the twilight. 🌴 One Island, One Secret Here, islands are emerald chess pieces scattered by the gods, each hiding its own romantic code. At Soneva Jani, water villas hover over turquoise waves, where slides deliver not just into the sea but into childlike joy. On Huvafen Fushi, lounge chairs by the starlit pool come with Bluetooth speakers, letting Mozart’s serenades ripple into the sky. For local charm, visit a fishing island: join dawn voyages on wooden dhonis to watch tuna glitter in nets, then feast on grilled stingray with chilled coconuts at beachside tables as owners grin, "Tomorrow, I show you whale sharks!" 🐚 Magic in the Details Romance here hides in folds finer than coral. Conrad Maldives’ Ithaa Undersea Restaurant nestles like a glass seashell where manta rays glide overhead as cutlery chimes. At Kandima’s "Dead Sea" salt pool, buoyant waters let salty breezes smooth every wrinkle—on brows and hearts. Even sustainability whispers love: Veli Island crafts art from discarded nets, while at Paradise Island, villas rise from reclaimed wood with biodegradable coconut-shell keycards. Here, luxury and eco-consciousness waltz in harmony. ✨ Counting Eternity Beyond Time When sunset caramelizes the sand and palm shadows stretch long, find a deserted stretch to sit. Listen—the tide’s rhythm mirrors Earth’s pulse. Fishermen’s off-key chants drift as canoes silhouette against rose-gold horizons. In this moment, you’ll understand: the Maldives’ magic isn’t in snorkel gear or star ratings, but in how its blue vastness amplifies your inner voice—the one drowned by city noise, now answering with whispers of freedom. 🌿 Travel Notes • Best Time: November-April (dry season) for crystal waters and peak dolphin/whale shark sightings. • Getting There: Fly to Malé International Airport, then transfer via seaplane (aerial views of emerald atolls) or speedboat (ideal for sunset cruises). • Light Footprints: Many resorts offer "plastic-free" welcome kits. Bring reusable bottles and skip coral souvenirs—help preserve this blue for another century. The Maldives isn’t a destination; it’s a ritual that lightens your breath. Though your tan fades and suitcase sand dwindles, years later, a rainy midnight might summon the memory of a particular wave’s curve—and your lips will curl into a salty smile. That’s the Indian Ocean’s blue cipher, forever etched in your soul. Maldives · Asia

🌉On the blue canvas of the Indian Ocean, 1,192 coral islands, with 0.3% of the land area, carry the most extreme marine aesthetics on the Earth's surface. When the seaplane skims over the gradient blue lagoon, you will understand why Lonely Planet calls this place "the place where all the blue pigments in the world are used up."🌏 🏝️[Island Selection Code Decrypted] Each resort island is an independent universe—Platinum Island uses a 1.8 km long sandbar to draw a silver galaxy on the sea, Conrad Island's underwater restaurant allows manta rays to become dinner viewers, and Huvafen Fushi Island creates a glass tunnel SPA at a depth of 40m under the sea. Your focus is the key to choosing an island. 💧[Liquid Gem Collection Guide] The lagoon at 12 noon hides the secret of the color spectrum: the nearshore is Tiffany blue, the transition zone presents malachite green, and the fault suddenly falls into midnight blue. It is recommended to bring a polarizing filter to capture these fleeting color gradations. A drone at an altitude of 150m can capture natural watercolor paintings outlined by coral reefs. 🐠[72 Hours of Dialogue with the Ocean] Snorkeling does not require a long expedition—most resort islands have ladders down from the room's terrace, where you can encounter fluorescent blue tang fish schools. For professional diving spots, the shipwreck site in the North Male Atoll is recommended. The rusted cabins have become sea turtle bedrooms; the manta ray storm in Hanifaru Bay, Baa Atoll, stages a deep-sea ballet on time every August. ✈️[Transportation Aesthetics Across Dimensions] The waves raised by the speedboat will refract rainbows, the seaplane porthole is a dynamic viewfinder, and the domestic flight route can overlook the atoll chain like a jade bracelet. Special reminder: Choose a flight that arrives before 16:00 to catch the golden hour route limited to seaplanes. 🌌[Time Dissolving Plan] It is recommended to experience three sunrises—wait for the first golden edge to pierce the sea level on the hammock of the sand house, meet the salted egg yolk jumping out of the East Indian Ocean when sailing out to sea on a Dhoni boat, and watch the morning light plating the atoll with a rose gold outline in front of the porthole of the return flight. Time loses its scale here, leaving only the rhythm of the tide. 📌Useful tips: · Choose a British standard three-hole adapter · Drones need to apply for a flight permit in advance · Prepare mosquito repellent stickers for sand houses and earplugs for water houses · Honeymoon gifts require a marriage certificate within half a year

Many people misunderstand that the island's facilities are old because of its name "Conrad Maldives Rangali Island". To be honest, I feel so sorry for Rangali Island! I sincerely hope that more people can discover this charming island! 🐟Island environment Rangali Island has excellent natural conditions and whale sharks can be seen all year round! There are lagoons, three-colored seas, powdery sand beaches, rare marine life, trailing sand beaches... Many islands need to go out to sea to see rare marine creatures like manta rays. At Rangali Island, you can see them directly on the trestle. 🏖Two-island experience Rangali Island consists of two islands. The main island is suitable for families with children, and the secondary island is suitable for honeymoons. Families with children and honeymooners do not disturb each other. The two islands are connected by a trestle bridge, and there are also Dhoni boats ⛵️ going back and forth. The main island is larger, with beach villas and water villas. The kids' club, water sports center, spa, several restaurants, and bars are all here. The secondary island only has water villas, which are divided into sunrise and sunset room types, with or without a pool, and only accepts guests over 16 years old. If you like high privacy, you can choose to check in to the secondary island. 🇨🇳Barrier-free communication There are also several Chinese-speaking staff/butlers on the island, and you can communicate with the butler directly on WeChat for daily communication! 🔧Regular renovation Rangali Island started renovations in 2022. A professional maintenance team 🔧 regularly inspects and maintains all the rooms 🏠 and facilities on the island. The furniture in the villas has also become more modern! Every renovated area will be isolated, and the villas near the renovation site will also be closed and not sold to the outside world, so there will be no noise.

Conrad Resort Hotel on Rangali Island in the Maldives ~ Also known as Hongli Island, located on the southeast side of South Ari Atoll, about 95 kilometers away from Male Airport, and can be reached by seaplane in about 30 minutes. Hongli Island is composed of two small islands: Family Island and Lovers Island, connected by a one-kilometer-long pedestrian bridge across the blue lagoon, and there is a ferry at the pier. The entire resort is quiet and elegant. This time we stayed in the Sunset Overwater Pool Villa on Lovers Island, the Supreme Overwater Pool Villa on Family Island ~ and the Moya Undersea Suite. Every day we wake up from the soothing sound of the ocean, and gaze at the endless blue scenery through the private sunbathing platform at sunrise. Enjoy the romantic time of the sunset reflecting the sky and the sea at sunset. The two islands have their own breakfast restaurants ~ You can also take a boat to experience different cuisines ~ Undersea restaurant, overwater restaurant, overwater SPA and overwater swimming pool, the hotel's various facilities are very good! The hotel's water activities are also very rich ~ swimming, snorkeling, double submarine, night fishing, big fish trolling, wine tasting, night movie, archipelago tour, deserted island picnic, yoga, Pilates, etc. It is worth mentioning that Hongli Island is the earliest island with a double submarine. Don't miss it when you come to Conrad Resort!

It always seemed to me that some people approach makeup like this: if it exists – conceal it, if it's not there – create it. For me, simplicity has always been key. I mostly use concealer or a lightweight foundation to cover minor imperfections and those "Black Mirror" season 3 eye bags. Now, I think I've found my dream makeup line – Armani Luminous Silk. Almost everything in my cosmetics bag is from this brand because I love the radiant finish and how Luminous Silk effortlessly transforms my skin, making it look porcelain-smooth and velvety. I fear that soon I'll have so many favorite Armani products that my cosmetics bag will turn into a suitcase. Do you usually bring makeup on your trips, or are you more like, "Who's going to see me underwater in the ocean?" 😉
