A renowned studio behind some of Asia's most renowned hotels has created a private island resort for The Ritz-Carlton in the Maldives. The newly constructed property, which is a part of the luxury Fari Islands development and is situated at the northeastern tip of the North Male Atoll, is only 10 minutes by seaplane or 45 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport.
The first ever project by Kerry Hill Architects in the Indian Ocean islands is distinguished by a basic, modern style that rejects a rustic-chic look (there are no thatched roofs) and keeps everything low-rise to highlight the lovely surroundings. 100 overwater ocean villas or beach villas, with different layouts ranging from one to three bedrooms, are available for guests to stay in. Each villa is equipped with an Aris Meeha (Island Butler), who will help guests during their stay and provide directions, panoramic sliding doors, a sun deck, and a private infinity pool.
At the resort, gourmands have a lot to look forward to. There are seven dining options at The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, including a branch of Summer Pavilion, the modern Cantonese restaurant with a Michelin star at The Ritz-Carlton Millenia in Singapore. Teppanyaki is the specialty of the outdoor Japanese restaurant Iwau, while southern Italian cuisine is the highlight of the all-day restaurant La Locanda. At Eau Bar, afternoon tea is given a Maldivian touch. Craft drinks and freshly shucked oysters are also available to visitors. Eight minutes away by boat, in Fari Marina, are two restaurants that are part of The Ritz-Carlton. While Tum Tum is a food truck serving Asian snacks and light fare, Arabesque delivers a diverse selection of foods from the broad region between Lebanon and North India.
Visitors can anticipate a wide variety of activities, such as tennis, bike safaris, snorkeling, scuba diving, and family-friendly culinary workshops. A resident biologist will also take them on a Wonders of Water ocean mystery tour, as well as boduberu drumming sessions where they can learn about traditional Maldivian music. They will also be able to take part in dolphin-spotting cruises on traditional dhonis. Wellness enthusiasts should visit the circular overwater spa for customized treatments that make use of Bamford body and skincare products with botanical ingredients. The resort has a Ritz Kids program with at least 30 activities for the little ones, including a treasure hunt. Even better, teenagers will have the option of enrolling in lessons with seasoned drone cinematographers, guaranteeing a distinctive 21st-century twist on their Maldivian vacation.
