Golf away to your heart’s content at Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa

Published

on

Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa has unveiled its brand-new Golf Centre which houses the key attraction which is the state-of-the-art Golf Simulator (two cabins).

This fun yet professional experience makes use of technology using sensors to capture every detail of the ball being hit to provide guests an almost as good experience as a round of golf on a real golfing range.

Guests are provided with a full range of golf clubs, or they can bring their own set, or buy a set at the resort.

For the avid golfers who are missing their usual round, or the beginners who want to try something new, can now enjoy the experience while during their relaxing vacation in the sunny tropics of the Maldives.

Just next to the Hideaway Golf Centre there is also a putting green that is being given tender love and care to have it golf ready by festive season later this year.

In the putting green, guests will be able to perfect their putting and enjoy a relaxing game of five-hole putting golf.

There will be multitudes of games and trainings that can be done on the green while being guided by our golf coach as well.

At the centre, guests can enjoy a game with friends and family or even practice by oneself or even better, get coached by our very own in-house Golf Pro Daniel Joubert. He has been playing golf since he was 10 years old.

He has a PGA Diploma in Golf with years of experience as well as in-depth knowledge about the game, and everything associated with the game of golf.

“I look forward to bring your game to the next level. See you at Hideaway,” says the golf coach.

The Golf Simulator also has special cameras to capture the player’s golf swing and replay that to further aid Daniel to improve their golf technique and iron out those bad habits accrued over one’s golfing life.

Let Hideaway be the place where you finally pick up the fun yet challenging game.

Didn’t bring your golf essentials such as gloves and clubs, we have got you covered. The Golf Centre has a Pro Golf Shop where guests can buy a full gear of equipment to be well geared up to have a round of golf or buy a memento to take back home to remind you of the good times you had at this novel experience available only in select few resorts in the Maldives.

From a selection of clubs, shoes, attire, and gloves to Hideaway branded golf balls and Ecobioballs for fish feeding golf (at the beach), the shop is well stocked with branded equipment perfect for the luxury golf player.

So, what are you waiting for? Book the next flight to the Maldives and pop by Hideaway to have a unique golf retreat to spice up your life. Whether it be for a beginner or a seasoned golfer, there is something for everyone at the Hideaway Golf Centre at Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa.

Patina Maldives partners with FC Bayern Munich to host exclusive football camps

Published

on

Following a successful collaboration with Real Madrid last year, Patina Maldives continues its tradition of extraordinary partnerships: The luxury resort welcomes FC Bayern Munich for an exclusive series of football camps on the Fari Islands. A total of six camps will be offered throughout 2025, timed to coincide with school holidays. Football- loving children and teenagers will have the rare opportunity to train under the guidance of licensed coaches from the German champions – all against the spectacular backdrop of the Indian Ocean.

The core focus of the camps is the professional training based on FC Bayern’s proven approach, designed to enhance technical skills, tactical understanding and game intelligence. Under the guidance of highly qualified coaches, young participants will not only learn precise ball control and strategic thinking but also the importance of teamwork and a winning mentality. Divided into three age groups, the training ensures targeted, age-appropriate development for every individual. A special highlight: Each participant receives an official FC Bayern kit, including a shirt, shorts and socks, as a keepsake from unforgettable days on the field.

The Patina Maldives football camps are more than just training sessions, they blend athletic performance with summer ease. After intense practice sessions and valuable coaching tips, the Indian Ocean invites participants to explore its crystal-clear waters.

The camps offer an extraordinary experience not only for the young talents but also for their families, turning the stay into the perfect vacation for the whole family. While the young players refine offensive strategies, penalty kicks and solid defense on the field, parents and grandparents can unwind on the white sandy beaches, indulge in the award-winning spa, or explore a variety of leisure activities together — from sustainable initiatives like the Coral Restoration Project, where coral frames and ceramic structures are created, to watersport adventures and engaging art workshops. Patina Maldives offers a vacation concept that bridges generational needs. And with a bit of luck, a special surprise might be in store for both young and old: perhaps a professional football player will make a personal appearance!

The football camps will be held on the following dates: April 20th to 24th 2025, August 1st to 5th 2025, October 24th to 30th 2025, December 22nd to 26th 2025 and December 29th 2025 to January 2nd 2026.
