The resort’s design by Kerry Hill Architects was inspired by the Maldivian sun and the Indian Ocean. It consists of a series of 100 villas, including the Ocean Villas, which seem to float above a turquoise lagoon like a masterpiece of design. With its white sandy beaches, turquoise lagoons and coral reefs, this place is rich in marine life. Guest villas at The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands range in size from one to three bedrooms and offer the renowned Ritz-Carlton service, taken to a new level by an island butler, Aris Meeha.

The property offers a choice of outstanding restaurants led by Executive Chef Pedro Samper, who prepares and serves dishes from every continent and local cuisine. Guests also have access to a comprehensive range of fitness and leisure facilities, including Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ambassadors of the Environment program and the Ritz-Carlton Spa, featuring products from the English brand Bamford.

“I am very honored to be part of The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands, a place that combines luxury and hospitality at the highest level.
