About the island

The Ritz-Carlton legendary service provided by the island butler Aris Meeha, inspired by ancient royal courts; to celebrating sunset, an elegant Bodu Beru drum performance pays tribute to the Maldives' oldest surviving tradition, followed by a fire ceremony marking the transition from day to night. The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands invites you to embrace island life. The resort has 7 restaurants and bars across a dedicated culinary island, Big Sunset Beach and Fari Marina Village, offering curated experiences for all tastes. At La Locanda, guests wake to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, where southern Italian cuisine and customs unfold.

Why stay here

Opened June 1, 2021, designed by the late master architect Kerry Hill. "Aman's go-to designer," "a taciturn architect," "an uncompromising perfectionist in design"—Kerry Hill adhered to naturalistic architectural principles, leaving one treasure after another to the world. Ritz-Carlton is part of the Fari Islands. Inspired by ocean elements such as sea breeze, waves and shells, the unique encircling ring design blends with the emerald Indian Ocean.

Highlights

First, Ritz-Carlton is Marriott International's top luxury hotel brand. So the island's facilities, dining and service are absolutely first-class, with guaranteed quality; second, rooms are luxurious and facilities first-class. The hotel was designed by Mr. Kerry Hill, the master designer favored by Aman, and every detail is pleasing to the eye.

Before you go

First, snorkeling conditions are poor. Second, the price is relatively high.
