Rangali Island
Rangali Island is home to the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island hotel - a hotel which has twice been named the best hotel in the world. And after spending a week there, I can see why. The hotel is set across two islands, joined by a bridge, and it is an absolute paradise.

Water bungalows
I was lucky enough to stay in a water bungalow when I stayed here. They are very expensive, but they are also incredible. You get an unrivalled view of the sunset, your own hot tub on the deck, and a beautiful and large room. However, I think it's impossible to get a bad room at this hotel.

Ithaa Underwater Restaurant

Ithaa Underwater Restaurant appears on bucket lists, places to see lists and amazing places lists all the time, and with very good reason. It cost $5 million, and is an incredible feat of engineering.
Ithaa Underwater Restaurant
The space is available for lunch, cocktails, and weddings, and it's simply a wonderful place to sit. It's built alongside deep and populated corals, and you'll easily see sharks, rays, and all manners of fish.
