'This isn't just another Maldives resort – it's where cutting-edge design meets pristine nature on a brand-new artificial archipelago that's redefining luxury in the Indian Ocean.'
What's Special?
The Ritz-Carlton Maldives sits on the innovative Fari Islands, a sustainably-designed artificial archipelago that opened in 2021. The resort features the Maldives' first overwater spa pavilions and boasts Jean-Michel Cousteau's diving center – the only one of its kind in the region. Each villa comes with a dedicated Aris Meeha (island host) and the resort's circular design was inspired by the traditional Maldivian fishing boat, the dhoni.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book the Sunset Water Villa for unobstructed views of the resort's famous infinity pool that seems to merge with the lagoon – it's one of the most Instagrammed spots in the Maldives.
Don't Miss
The EcoCenter's turtle rehabilitation program where you can witness baby turtles being released into the wild, and the resort's unique "castaway" picnic experience on a completely uninhabited sandbank that appears only at low tide.
