Staying at The Muraka, the world’s first underwater hotel suite at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, was a breathtaking fusion of luxury and marine adventure. This two-level villa—with its submerged master bedroom five meters beneath the Indian Ocean—redefines exclusivity and opulence. From the moment we arrived, the personalized service, mesmerizing ocean panoramas, and unparalleled underwater immersion made this a bucket-list luxury travel experience.
The Underwater Suite – Sleeping Beneath the Waves
The crown jewel of The Muraka is its underwater master bedroom, encased in a curved acrylic dome offering 180-degree views of vibrant coral reefs and marine life. Descending via a private elevator (or spiral staircase), we entered an ethereal blue world—schools of tropical fish, gliding rays, and even the occasional reef shark drifting past the windows.
Luxury Underwater Living:
Plush king-sized bed positioned for uninterrupted ocean vistas.
Floor-to-ceiling bathroom windows, letting you shower surrounded by marine life.
Nighttime Magic:
After sunset, exterior lights attract an even more dazzling array of sea creatures, transforming the suite into a mesmerizing underwater light show.
Safety & Comfort:
Fully air-conditioned with oxygen and temperature monitoring for a secure, comfortable stay.
The Overwater Residence – A Sanctuary of Indulgence
The upper level is equally spectacular, featuring:
A spacious living area with a bar, lounge, and dining space.
An infinity pool and expansive deck—perfect for sunrise yoga or private relaxation.
A master bedroom with a half-sphere bathtub offering 270-degree ocean views.
A second en-suite bedroom (ideal for families or extra guests).
Exclusive Amenities & Services
Private Chef & Customized Dining – Gourmet meals tailored to your tastes.
Daily 90-Minute Spa Treatments – Complimentary for guests.
Personal Butler & Island Host – Available 24/7 for seamless luxury.

Why The Muraka Stands Above the Rest
While other underwater suites exist, none match The Muraka’s perfect blend of innovation and luxury. Conrad Maldives Rangali Island pioneered underwater hospitality with Ithaa, the world’s first undersea restaurant, in 2005. The Muraka elevates this legacy, offering an immersive, one-of-a-kind experience unmatched by any other luxury villa in the Maldives.
Final Verdict: The Ultimate Bucket-List Escape
For travelers seeking the pinnacle of luxury, The Muraka delivers. Whether for a honeymoon, milestone celebration, or extraordinary retreat, this underwater sanctuary is worth every moment—and every dollar.
