Welcome to a sanctuary where minimalist architecture meets Maldivian soul, and every moment is curated with grace, warmth, and wonder. Located in the Fari Islands archipelago, just 45 minutes by speedboat from Malé, The Ritz-Carlton Maldives invites guests to embrace the Circle of Island Life—a philosophy rooted in connection, celebration, and renewal.

Designed by the legendary Kerry Hill Architects, the resort’s 100 villas—set overwater or along pristine beach coves—blur the boundaries between indoors and out. Each villa features panoramic ocean views, a private infinity pool, and the intuitive care of a dedicated Aris Meeha butler, inspired by the ancient royal service of the Maldives.

Guests awaken to the scent of espresso at La Locanda, indulge in Michelin-star collaborations at Summer Pavilion, and gather for sunset rituals at The Beach Shack, where Bodu Beru drums echo the heartbeat of the islands. From Arabesque’s Levantine flavors to the curated experiences at Fari Marina Village, every meal is a celebration of culture and craft.
