The stylish bunch and travel-trend-conscious have had the debut hotel of Capella’s new lifestyle brand on their radar for some time. There’s a fine balance between Maldivian peace and the Southern France party scene, a clear respect for nature is synchronised with all the mod cons and bare feet dance alongside high heels.
This is somewhere they can connect with creativity and comfort, and it’s blatant that opposites attract here. But it’s Patina’s core ethos that unites the dichotomy – the aim to bring together the like-minded who venture to these parts to revel in isolation together.

Patina stands out in the trio it now makes with its neighbouring two resorts of the Fari Islands, not only for its Design Hotels member status – speaking to its ultra-luxurious palette, innovative amenities and intuitive service – but for its cutting-edge construction.
With hints to his filmmaking background (think widescreen views and a particular attention to lighting), renowned Brazilian architect Maricio Kogan designed his latest feat with our natural conflicts in mind; celebrating the equilibrium we feel between alone time and bustling gatherings, the high-tech and the effortless, and self-indulgence and care for the community.
Every nation, no matter how different, portrays their identity through artwork. So the island aims to cultivate the creative potential of its guests and birth an identity of its own; especially through its collection of art and artist in residence. Forming a dynamic island culture that is a fusion of parallels and all together unique to Patina.
If your room is the place for solitude, then the Fari Marina Village and Beach Club are the places to be seen. The beating heart of the archipelago, guests from all three resorts flock here to dip in and out of the designer boutiques, sip an Aperol spritz while listening to renowned DJs on turn tables, indulge in Michelin-starred cuisine or move the party to the deck of a superyacht.
They say that children are the future, so it’s important to educate them on the future of our planet.
In the Footprints kids’ centre, environmentalists-in-the-making are nurtured through interactive activities like recycling ocean plastic into 3D models; while budding chefs learn the benefits of locally sourced ingredients and plant-based cuisine.
As Patina is all about human connection, we think there’s no better way to celebrate the company of one another than exclusively taking over part of the island.
Up to 27 revellers can make the beach collection their home for a time with the beach house, six villas and a private stretch of sand all to themselves.
The extra days of relaxation afforded by the long Easter weekend provide an opportunity to make the most of your time off, travel further afield and experience some close-of-winter sun while waiting for spring’s stubbornness to subside.
Allow yourself to be transported to new worlds with design-led hotels created with an elevated experience in mind. We explore the philosophies behind these spaces that have been built to enhance and transform your outlook on life.
For all its calm waters and emphasis on relaxation, some may be surprised to learn that the Maldives loves a party. If there is one time to experience its electric atmosphere, make it the 2024 festive period. Where the resorts burst into a world of colourful celebrations and delectable dinners, and the sand banks become Santa’s grotto.
On secluded Bodufushi in the Raa Atoll, there’s a well-being wonderland masquerading as an island, where what some thought impossible has been built – a hotel concept the Maldives hasn’t seen before.
Classic luxury entwines with modern escapism at arguably the Maldives’ premier address – this is a glamorous island hideout for ritzy-glitzy beach goers.
Step into a world of your own making; a world with no restraints, where time has no meaning and where you have the freedom to live exactly as you please.
