Patina Maldives, Fari Islands

Patina Maldives, Fari Islands launched in 2021 as the flagship of the Patina Hotels & Resorts brand and immediately set a new benchmark for design-led luxury in the archipelago. Part of the integrated Fari Islands destination alongside The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, the resort occupies a 42-hectare private island connected to the Fari Islands Marina Village by boat. The resort's philosophy of 'renew' is expressed throughout: in the art installations by internationally acclaimed artists, the architecture by award-winning designers, and a culinary programme that treats food as a creative medium. The five restaurants — ROOTS (plant-based), Frederic's (European), NOLLA (Nordic), Thelma's (American) — represent some of the most conceptually interesting dining in the Maldives. Fari Studios is Patina's signature wellness and creative retreat concept: a multi-disciplinary space where guests can engage in yoga, sound healing, cooking masterclasses, art workshops, and digital wellbeing sessions. The Footprints Kids Club offers a genuinely educational and enriching programme for younger guests. Speedboat transfers of just 20 minutes make Patina one of the most accessible ultra-luxury properties in the country.
