The property
Two islands and the undersea restaurant
Rangali splits into a family island and an adults-only island connected by a long bridge, which solves the usual tension between the two. Ithaa sits five metres below the surface under an acrylic dome and has been copied everywhere since it opened. South Ari is the whale shark atoll: they are present year-round rather than seasonally, and the resort runs regular excursions to find them.
Where you sleep
4 villa categories
Beach villas, water villas and the two-level undersea Muraka residence. Which one is right depends on the month and who is travelling — that is the first thing we will ask.

What makes it itself
Why people choose it
- 01
A private beach
The sand in front of the resort is its own, so the walk from your room to the water crosses nobody else.
- 02
Overwater villas
Rooms built out over the lagoon, with the water directly beneath the deck — the reason most people come to these islands.
- 03
A full spa
Treatments on the property — massage, steam room, beauty services, so a bad-weather afternoon has somewhere to go.
- 04
Diving and snorkelling
Run from the resort, which matters here: the boat leaves from your own jetty rather than an hour up the coast.
- 05
A children's club
Supervised hours for the children, which is the difference between a holiday and a fortnight of childcare with a view.
