A design-led resort on a 42-hectare island in the Fari Islands, with pool villas, studios, ten restaurants and bars, and James Turrell's Skyspace.
Patina sits on a 42-hectare island in the Fari Islands, at the northern edge of North Malé Atoll, 45 minutes by speedboat from the airport. It shares its lagoon with The Ritz-Carlton, Fari Islands, whose facilities Patina guests can also use, and its villas have floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides.
Every villa has its own pool. One-bedroom villas are on the beach (240 m², with a garden and an outdoor tub) or over the water (170 m²), each with a sunset version; two-bedroom villas follow the same pattern, and The Beach House has three bedrooms, a rooftop terrace and a 21-metre pool. The Fari Studios near the marina are the cheapest way to stay.
Portico and Wok Society handle everyday meals, alongside Kandu's Maldivian cooking, Brasa's open grill, Italian at Farine, Lebanese at Arabesque and Aegean dishes at Helios. There's the FLOW spa, the Footprints kids' club for ages 4 to 11, and the Skyspace Amarta, a light installation by James Turrell.
The house reef is on the island's north-west side, a 10 to 15 minute paddle away rather than off your villa steps. Full board is the most you can book (there's no all-inclusive), and drinks are always extra.
