INTO THE BLUE
Signature Travel & Style|Volume 44
An archipelagic country where overwater stays come as standard, privacy is a given and natural beauty is all around, the Maldives sets the standard when it comes to superior island living. Here are six of our favourite places for Indian Ocean indulgence.
INTO THE BLUE

PATINA MALDIVES: FARI ISLANDS

Guided aqua therapy in an opaline lagoon, coral planting, sandbank picnics and drum classes are among the many ways guests colour their time at Patina, the latest hospitality concept from Capella Hotel Group – which will, incidentally, open a Capella resort in the same Fari archipelago in 2025. Patina’s 90 beach and water villas – a 45-minute speedboat ride from the airport – were crafted in sleek style by Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan, and all have pools and outdoor tubs to soak up Maldivian sunsets. Restaurants sit within the island’s Fari Marina Village, a design-driven complex offering a staggering 12 drinking and dining concepts. patinahotels.com
