Conrad Hotels & Resorts reveals four exclusive and customisable experiences at THE MURAKA at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, the luxury resort situated on the pristine Rangali Island.

The first-of-its-kind undersea residence set to debut this November, THE MURAKA offers a transformative journey in one of the world’s natural environments as guests are fully immersed in the wonders of the abundant marine ecosystem above and below the Indian Ocean.

While pushing the boundaries of engineering, THE MURAKA is not only defined by its physical structure, but even more so by the wholly unique offerings guests can enjoy while staying in the innovative residence.

“As the first-of-its-kind residence with dynamic accommodations both above and below the surface of the water, THE MURAKA is an extraordinary vehicle for a truly immersive journey into nature which cannot be found anywhere else in the world,” said Stefano Ruzza, General Manager of Conrad Maldives Rangali Island.

“Through a variety of curated and captivating offerings, we will maximise the potential of this incredible residence to bring unique travel experiences to our valued guests.”

Supporting the resort’s philosophy of innovation and its dedication to creating memorable moments in the heart of the Maldives, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island will offer a collection of four experience menus available exclusively to those staying at THE MURAKA.

Tailored to the unique desires of different travellers with experiences ranging from adventure, food and entertainment to wellness, culture and sustainability, the menus are titled The Wanderers, The Flavours, The Soul and The Thrill.

Guests who book THE MURAKA will work with a dedicated Reservations Team to curate their own journey, borrowing inspiration from the four menus to ultimately create a meaningful and personalised journey in the Maldives and immerse themselves in a variety of transcendent experiences above and below the surface of the ocean.

The Wanderers
“The Wanderers” experiences provide an authentic and fresh perspective for intrepid individuals wishing to explore unchartered Maldivian territory and engage with local culture without sacrificing comfort or luxury.

Culture-seekers thrive in the parts unknown and relish the opportunity to expand their horizons through authentic exploration. “The Wanderers” captures the desires of the traveller who wants to immerse themselves in a destination to gain a fresh perspective.

One possible outlet for this ambitious traveller is to bring out their inner Attenborough as they achieve their dream of exploring the depths on an ocean dive or snorkel, complete with a film crew to capture the experience.

Documenting the vibrant reef ecosystem beyond the glass walls of their MURAKA bedroom, guests will have the opportunity to direct and star in their own undersea film.

The Flavours
“The Flavours” experiences reveal an exciting world of culinary possibilities with a personal chef available 24 hours a day who can satisfy any craving with tailor-made menus.

For those who truly want to savour their journey, “The Flavours” experiences include a variety of opportunities to forage, learn, and, most importantly, taste.

Celebrity Chef Jereme Leung is counted among the best Chinese chefs, and guests of THE MURAKA will have the chance to learn the techniques behind his world-renowned delicacies, including Xiao long bao dumplings, handmade pulled noodles and perfectly balanced shumai.

In this one of a kind cooking class, guests can enter the resort’s Ufaa restaurant’s open sided kitchen and receive instruction from one of Leung’s expertly trained chefs.

These culinary masters will guide guests in the timeless art of folding dim sum wrappers, blending ingredients and, of course, slurping noodles.

The Soul
“The Soul” consists of transformative wellness experiences that encourage spiritual discovery and focus on enriching guests and connections to their natural surroundings.

Visitors flock to the Maldives not only for its spectacular natural beauty but also for its restorative energy and peaceful solitude.

“The Soul” allows travellers to connect with this spirit through a variety of experiences, including meditation, yoga and more. There may be no better place to get in touch with oneself than THE MURAKA, lending itself to a deeper practice with two decks – one facing sunrise and the other facing sunset – to soak up the healing powers of sunlight or bask in the peace of dusk.

The Thrill
“The Thrill” experiences are a collection of adventures with opportunities for fascinating exploration on land and at sea. Adrenaline-seeking explorers will be spoilt for choice when including items from “The Thrill” in their MURAKA adventure.

While the Maldivian environment around the MURAKA is magnificent at any angle, it may be most magical from below. For an experience under the sea, guests can spark their senses and discover the reefs by night alongside highly-trained professionals who guide explorers through the enigmatic dark blue waters.

On this journey, guests will discover the peculiar glow of planktons lurking in the ocean, corals blooming out into stunning colours and witness the rare phenomenon of shy underwater residents of the South Ari Atoll coming out to play.

Young travellers who stay at THE MURAKA will find that most experiences from across all four core menus are easily customisable to suit their interests as well as the opportunity to create entirely new experiences through the MURAKA kids Edu-tainment menu designed to captivate their imaginations.

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island offers the Conrad Concierge mobile app, which gives travellers the ability to customise details of their hotel stay before, during, and after each visit via a smartphone or tablet. Whether it’s pre-selecting bath amenities or checking in while in transit from the airport, guests can access a variety of features by using the app.

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island participates in Hilton Honors, the award-winning guest-loyalty program for Hilton’s 14 distinct hotel brands.

Members who book directly have access to instant benefits, including a flexible payment slider that allows members to choose nearly any combination of Points and money to book a stay, an exclusive member discount, free standard Wi-Fi and the Hilton Honors mobile app.
