Patina Maldives, Fari Islands

Overview

An architectural masterpiece designed by Marcio Kogan, this contemporary retreat stands at the cultural heart of the Fari Islands. It combines modern tropical minimalism with vibrant community life – where outdoor art installations, curated social spaces, and marina-side access feel just as much part of the guest experience as private villas. Open walkways and communal lounges invite connection, while wellness studios, boutique gardens, and marine education areas foster mindful discovery.

The 90 villas and 20 studios are open-concept, with floor-to-ceiling windows, indoor-outdoor layouts, and private pools or oversized bathtubs. Interiors highlight natural textures and designer furnishings by Bassam Fellows and Gervasoni, anchoring simplicity with craftsmanship. Skylit pathways lead to floating modular beach clubs and the rooftop “Skyspace Amarta” art sculpture by James Turrell.

Dining is a narrative-driven journey – choose from 12 restaurants and bars offering Japanese-Nordic fusion, coastal grills, plant-based menus and local garden dishes. Wellness at Flow Spa includes sound healing, Watsu pools, acupuncture, and nutritionist-led programmes. Activities include sunset cruises, nature workshops, fishing, and access to a marina village with water-borne shopping and community events.
