CONRAD MALDIVES RANGALI ISLAND, THE MURAKA MALDIVES Head to the Maldives and you’re more than likely going to stay in an overwater villa. While those are certainly stunning with endless views of the dazzling Indian Ocean, The Muraka at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island goes against the grain. The very fi rst of its kind, this suite heads beneath the ocean’s surface — the main bedroom is 16 ft underwater with a 180° domed ceiling, so you can watch the myriad marine life swim by as you relax in the enormous bed. On the upper level, there are two en-suite bedrooms, a lounge and a kitchen (the suite comes with the services of a private chef). There’s also a spacious sundeck with an in fi nity pool. Best for Romance From $11,900 per night. Contact mlehi.maldives@conradhotels.com, +960 668 0629, conradmaldives.com
