Conrad Maldives Rangali Island has consistently pioneered luxury innovation, but its most audacious creation yet is The Muraka. More than a villa, it's a groundbreaking residence that redefines the relationship between luxury and the natural world. Its name meaning "coral" in the local Dhivehi language, The Muraka is a triumph of modern engineering and design, featuring the world's first master bedroom submerged over 16 feet below the surface of the Indian Ocean.
This isn't just accommodation; it's a deeply immersive experience, a private aquarium where you are the guest of honor. Designed for families and groups of friends seeking an unparalleled level of privacy and wonder, The Muraka offers a completely unique way to connect with the marine environment in absolute comfort and style.
The Design: An Architectural Marvel
The Muraka is a sprawling two-level, three-bedroom residence that operates both above and below the ocean's surface.
The Upper Level
Above water, the residence boasts 550 square meters of luxurious living space. This level includes:
- Two bedrooms: One king bedroom and one twin bedroom, each with its own bathroom.
- Integrated living areas: A spacious living room, dining area, and bar perfect for entertaining.
- Outdoor paradise: An expansive deck with an infinity pool, a sunrise deck for yoga, and a sunset deck for evening cocktails.
- Private gym: For maintaining your routine with a view.
- 24-hour butler service: A dedicated, multilingual butler team is on call to cater to your every need.
The Undersea Level
The journey downstairs—via a spiral staircase or private elevator—is a transition into another world. The submerged master suite encompasses 101 square meters and features:
- Master bedroom: Centered around a 180-degree curved acrylic dome, offering panoramic views of the marine life.
- Bathroom and closet: Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that make every moment spent here an aquatic spectacle.
- Dedicated viewing tunnel: A cinema-style living area where you can "meet the locals" as manta rays, sharks, and schools of tropical fish glide past.
The Muraka Odyssey Experience
A stay at The Muraka is enhanced with its exclusive "Odyssey" package, a curated set of experiences designed to personalize your journey. Guests can choose one activity per day from a list that includes:

Ideal for Groups and Families
The Muraka is designed as an exclusive residence, sleeping up to nine guests. The policy allows for six adults and three children under the age of 13 to stay and eat for free, making it a surprisingly viable option for multi-generational family trips or celebrations.
