🌴The Ritz-Carlton Maldives is located on the Fari Islands in the northeastern part of the North Malé Atoll. The islands are home to 3 top luxury hotels: the Ritz-Carlton, Capella, and Patina, as well as a yacht marina. This is the last work of Aman's designer Kelly Hill! The design is inspired by natural elements such as the ocean, sea breeze, waves, and shells. The most classic feature is its circular design. The architecture is unique and different from other square hotel designs. The Ritz-Carlton uses many curves, which are particularly attractive! Island selection tips: Ritz-Carlton, Joali Being, and Joali. These three are similar, so it's a tough choice. If you love snorkeling and have high requirements for it, choose Joali Being, which has the best natural ecological environment. If you want to take beautiful photos, don't hesitate, Joali's stunning trailing beach is definitely the first choice. It's the only one among these three with a large beach. 🍣If you want to enjoy delicious food and beautiful sea views, choose the Ritz-Carlton. Although its food is not particularly outstanding, you can take a 10-minute speedboat to the neighboring Patina, which has 12 restaurants and bars, where you can taste all kinds of global cuisine. If you want to experience a two-island tour, choose the Joali two-island combination, which is great. Different environments will give you different feelings. The Ritz-Carlton and Patina do not currently have a two-island combination, but there is a boat to Patina every hour, which is very convenient! The Ritz-Carlton is an artificial new island, so the ecological environment is a bit rigid, but even so, it can't stop its beauty!

As soon as I stepped into this paradise-like sea area, I was instantly conquered by the boundless ocean view! The sea and the sky are the same color, the blue waves are rippling, as if the whole world is still, only me and this beautiful ocean are left. ✅Lying on the delicate and soft beach, the gentle sound of the waves in my ears, the unpredictable blue in front of my eyes, this feeling of lying and watching the sea is simply the most luxurious enjoyment in life! ✅Speaking of service, the Maldives really interprets "home away from home" vividly! From the moment I stepped into the resort, I was surrounded by enthusiastic and friendly staff, every smile and every service made me feel extremely intimate and comfortable. ✅The food is even more praiseworthy! Fresh seafood, exquisite cuisine, rich buffet, every bite is the ultimate temptation to the taste buds. Here, I not only enjoyed the food, but also experienced a global travel on the tip of my tongue! ✅As for the room, it can only be described as "luxury"! Spacious and bright space, exquisite decoration design, looking out from the balcony is the heart-pounding sea view. Every night lying on a comfortable big bed, listening to the sound of the waves to sleep, is simply the best moment in life!

Maldives Ritz-Carlton, low season is here! This 6-star island is the epitome of beauty, making your island trip even more luxurious and unforgettable! 🏝️ As a member of Marriott, the Ritz-Carlton's facilities and services are first-class. The island is rich in vegetation, with swaying coconut groves and fragrant flowers, as if you are in a natural oxygen bar. 🌴🌺 The surrounding waters of the island are even more diverse, with colorful tropical fish, turtles, stingrays and other marine life, making your snorkeling experience even more exciting! 🐠🐢 Each villa is equipped with a private pool and a large sun terrace. The water house has a 180° sea view and is equipped with a viewing bed, allowing you to enjoy the island scenery in a comfortable environment! 🛌🌊 Now it's low season, even the Maldives Ritz-Carlton is the same. Come and enjoy a beautiful island life! 🎉🌴

I really like the Ritz-Carlton, the stay was great, the food was great, and we also went to the bar to play and had ice cream there 😁 The four of us went, stayed in a beach villa, stayed in a two-bedroom overwater villa, and also booked a dolphin-watching trip 🐬, but there were relatively few dolphins, we saw a few from a distance, which was a bit disappointing, maybe it rained on the days we went. The Summer Pavilion restaurant was great, the chef is from Hong Kong, and after our meal, he came over to interact with us and asked for suggestions for improvement. We did a 60-minute spa, which was very comfortable. I also really liked their bath products, which are from a niche British brand called Bamford. Our butler was a foreigner, but he could speak a lot of Chinese. He said there are many Chinese guests, so he learned some Chinese. He can only speak simple phrases and can't write Chinese, but it's already enough.

It is a new brand created by the group for young, fashionable, life-loving, and sociable trendsetters. The global debut took place in 2021 in Maldives. ⛱️ As is well known, the hotels in Maldives, Asia, operate on a one-island-one-resort basis. The Fari Islands 🏝️ host three hotels: 'The Ritz-Carlton Maldives', 'Patina Maldives', and 'Capella Maldives' (under construction). All three hotels are owned by the same Singaporean owner, and guests can use a complimentary boat service for dining reservations. Additionally, there is a separate staff island, so hotel employees have a concept of commuting to work and do not reside in the same area as guests. Patina Maldives is a speedboat island, but there is no exclusive lounge at 'Malé International Airport'. After an hour of bumpy boat ride, you arrive just when you feel like throwing up I later inquired, and the advantage of a 'speedboat island' is that you can arrive at any time and the price is relatively cheaper; 'seaplanes', being aircraft, are more affected by weather conditions. If you arrive on a late flight at Velana International Airport, you might have to spend a night in MALE and wait for daylight to take a seaplane to the island. Of course, if you are willing to spend more, you can also fly to the speedboat island Patina Maldives offers a ceremonious arrival experience, with butlers and staff clapping to welcome you at the dock. The island operates on its own time, one hour behind Malé, like a secluded paradise. However, when needing to coordinate with the mainland, this time difference always confuses me 'Patina Maldives, Fari Islands' was created by the Brazilian architectural firm Studiomk27, with the famous designer Marcio Kogan crafting a new example of biophilic design. Being in the Maldives, sustainability and environmental protection are very important. 'Fari Islands' can't even be found on a map; turning on the location just shows you're in the Indian Ocean. The 'sand villas' in the Maldives' off-season can be even more expensive than the 'water villas'. During the off-season, there are more storms and rough seas, making it impossible to enter the water from the water villas, and the sound of the waves can be very loud at night. But since you're already there, experiencing it all is what makes it perfect My butler was a lady from Shaanxi who has been working in the Maldives for over ten years. She confidently said that the dining at 'Patina Maldives' is among the best in the Maldives. On the island, it's all about water sports and dining, and the quality of dining really affects the overall experience. I have shared about each restaurant in detail. You can download the Patina APP from the Apple Store in advance, where you can see the menu and prices of each restaurant. The island settles in US dollars and operates on a tipping system, so it's best to exchange some small change in advance. Wishing you a happy holiday

📍> The Ritz Carlton resort is located at the northeastern end of the North Ring Reef on Fari Island, with undamaged white beaches and clear sea water full of marine life. It takes about 45 minutes by speedboat or 15 minutes by seaplane to reach. The space is carefully designed by the famous architect Marcio Kogan's studio Studio MK27, Kengo Kuma & Associates and Kerry Hill Architects, combining classic aesthetics with human nature, creating a subtle balance between tranquility and social interaction, ensuring that every visit will be a unique experience. The Ritz Carlton has 7 restaurants and bars, whether it's Japanese teppanyaki, Middle Eastern exotic, traditional food, Mediterranean light food and all kinds of special drinks are available. It is worth mentioning that the Summer Pavilion Cantonese restaurant cooperates with the Michelin-starred restaurant The Ritz Carlton Millenia in Singapore to show contemporary Cantonese cuisine in a unique sea restaurant, leading travelers to dance on the tip of their tongues. ♻2024 Activity Package | Itinerary Overview Day1 Arrive in Male, exclusive butler pick-up, go to Iwau restaurant to enjoy Japanese cuisine Room type: Ocean Pool Villa Day2 Go out to sea to chase dolphins, sunset Beach Shack seafood restaurant Room type: Ocean Pool Villa Day3 Lie flat for a holiday, enjoy Bamford SAP Room type: Ocean Pool Villa Day4 Diving experience, take pictures of coral seabed, La Locanda Italian restaurant Room type: Ocean Pool Villa Day5 Say goodbye to the Maldives and return home.

Patina Maldives, Fari Islands Patina Hotel in Fari Islands, Maldives "Patina" is a distinctive brand under Capella, this new brand advocates a fashionable and elegant lifestyle, creating a personalized experience for the new generation of quality-seeking travelers. The world's first Patina Hotel is located in the newly developed Fari Islands resort complex, which includes 3 top luxury hotels (Ritz Carlton, Capella, Patina), Fari Marina yacht dock (restaurants, shops, entertainment venues). The three hotels have the same owner and share infrastructure, and this place will become part of a bustling seaside resort with world-class luxury living and entertainment facilities. The hotel starts with the design concept of "horizon", the Patina Hotel above the sea is a new example of pro-biological design, regardless of its geographical location, the hotel details carefully arranged by the designer, or the business philosophy are all around nature, breaking traditional concepts. The hotel uses local materials as much as possible, such as logs and bamboo, to build, focusing on a relaxed and simple natural holiday style. The entire island allows art to be given a voice, allowing various contexts, forms, attitudes and experiences to express the rhythm of life together. Selected works from top furniture designers around the world inject extreme uniqueness and luxury into the space. The interior uses art decorations from Bassam Fellows, Lin Brasil, Gervasoni and Vitra, and the outdoor uses furniture from Dedon, Carlos Motta and Paola Lenti. Here is the first 100% pure solar children's club in the Maldives, not only with various basic children's play facilities, children can also make models from recycled ocean plastic in the "Wonder Lab", experiencing the magic of 3D printing and laser cutting technology. Provide free diving lessons to children and cultivate the next generation's respect for the environment. If nature is our way of relaxing, then art is a way to help people introspect, which is also the difference between Patina Hotel and other resort hotels

When I get my hands on a new electronic gadget, I press buttons like a passionate pianist—fervently and without a clear plan. That's right, I often dive into settings without reading the instructions. There's an overdue rinse cycle in my washing machine, and my microwave has a triple-roasting mode. Applaud my audacity and have a chuckle at my iron's expense. The one exception? Cameras. Surprisingly, I don't struggle with them. Though, truth be told, I still shoot in automatic mode. Manual settings seem like an impenetrable forest to me. The best part? The tech keeps serving me year after year, and I buy it all at @citilink_ru. I experimented with other stores once, but you probably remember that story of receiving a stove in a meat grinder's packaging, right? 🤦🏻‍♀️ No more experiments for me. At @citilink_ru, I've ordered all my home appliances, from TVs to washing machines. I love their on-time delivery, warranty coverage, and the helpful staff who guide you to the perfect choice.
