The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands, proudly joins the distinguished ranks of the “50 Best Discovery.” Launched in 2019 by the experts of the 50 Best Academy, this travel and experience-focused platform highlights top-tier bars, restaurants and hotels worldwide. This prestigious recognition bestowed upon our resort serves as a testament to our unwavering dedication to providing exceptional experiences while upholding the highest standards of sustainability.

Sustainability at its Core

Composed of 99% ocean, the Maldives is a world of water with a colourful community of thriving marine life beneath its surface. Protecting the community—in the sea and on land—has been and continues to be a priority for the resort. From using solar energy to power, the property to restoring the surrounding reefs through our coral nurseries, our actions today help secure a better tomorrow.

Culinary Excellence with Seven Restaurants and Bars

Embark on a culinary journey at The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, where guests can savour a diverse range of exquisite flavours at the resort’s seven distinctive restaurants and bars. Each venue offers a unique gastronomic experience, promising an unforgettable culinary adventure. Diners can enjoy a rich culinary landscape and travel the world on their palates, whilst feeling confident that every effort has been taken to ensure a focus on the highest quality, seasonal ingredients and with the environment front of mind. Experience the joy of a robust Italian espresso, share conversation over Cantonese tapas, toast to the sunset with a chilled glass of rose.

Architectural Marvel – Masterpiece Villas

Every aspect of the resort’s philosophy and design centres on the notion of totality and the true spirit of the Maldives. The resort’s minimalist circular architecture and the holistic philosophy of wholeness is one that the Maldivian culture and environment supports. The vision behind the resort’s iconic design, led by Kerry Hill Architects, is inspired by natural landscape of the turquoise lagoon and the swirling ocean breezes, embracing the circle of island life, with modern architecture meeting the Maldives. Interior and exterior design is humble, minimalist, and visually lightweight, leaving little impact on its environment and always maximizing views to the horizon and the connection with the elements. 

Masters of Crafts Program

The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands, transcends the ordinary with its innovative approach. The Masters of Crafts program, a distinctive initiative, welcomes chefs, musicians, artists, and various other talents to enrich the property and create bespoke experiences for valued guests. A steadfast commitment to uniqueness guarantees that returning visitors encounter an ever-evolving tapestry of activities and experiences, ensuring a consistently exceptional stay.

Mr. Renato De Oliveira, General Manager of The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, expressed his gratitude for the recognition, stating, “We are thrilled to be acknowledged among the ’50 Best Discoveries’ by The World’s 50 Best organization. This accolade reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional experiences while upholding the highest standards of sustainability.”
