Ithaa Undersea Restaurant offers a unique seafood dining experience: you can see marine life swimming around you as you eat. Located 16 feet below the ocean surface at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, the restaurant features a large, curved transparent acrylic dome that serves as both ceiling and walls, creating an immersive backdrop for dishes such as caviar, reef fish tartare, and Maldivian lobster carpaccio.
Guests reach Ithaa via a spiral stairway beneath a thatched-roof pavilion. The venue, designed and built by M. J. Murphy Ltd. of New Zealand, serves Euro-Asian cuisine for lunch and dinner. In addition to standard seatings, the restaurant offers private breakfasts, special-event bookings, and occasional overnight experiences when available. Advance reservations are recommended due to limited seating and high demand.
The setting delivers more than a meal: it pairs refined culinary techniques with spectacular underwater views, making it a memorable choice for celebrations, romantic dinners, and those seeking an extraordinary dining experience in the Maldives. Service typically emphasizes fresh, locally sourced seafood alongside international flavors, with menus that may change seasonally to showcase the best ingredients.
For visitors planning a stay on Rangali Island, dining at Ithaa complements other resort activities such as snorkeling, diving, and private island excursions. The combination of intimate seating, attention to detail, and the panoramic aquatic scenery makes this restaurant a distinctive highlight of the property.
