This can fi rst be seen with its 50 refurbished overwater villas. Dedicated to couples and honeymooners, the overwater villas on Rangali Island have been reimagined with new interiors and a greater focus on the combination of the indoors and outdoors. An oasis spa No stone has been left unturned as part of the refurbishment, and the already-awe-inspiring over-water spa has also been improved. Sticking with the indoor/outdoor theme, the spa has a new lounge area, along with a new reception also. Located on the adults-only side of the resort, the spa has treatments for mental and physical health, with the environment drawing on the natural beauty of the destination with large windows opening out onto glistening lagoons. A long overwater bridge leads into the spa, disconnected from the island but still with the luxurious hospitality services of Conrad. Diverse dining Rangali Bar – considered the hang-out spot of the resort – recently completed its renovation with contemporary interiors, warm furniture tones and a communal sand-fl oored bar overlooking the lagoon. Atoll Market has also been renovated, the all-day dining restaurant boasts live cooking stations, evening cocktail sessions and now, interactive show kitchens. Restaurants include the standout Ithaa Undersea Restaurant, the al fresco Sunset Grill, Ufaa by Jereme Leung who brings a diverse Chinese menu, Koko Grill for Japanese dining, and many more.
