Capella Hotel Group | Patina Maldives, Fari Islands Report

It is a new brand created by the group for young, fashionable, life-loving, and sociable trendsetters. The global debut took place in 2021 in Maldives. ⛱️ As is well known, the hotels in Maldives, Asia, operate on a one-island-one-resort basis. The Fari Islands 🏝️ host three hotels: 'The Ritz-Carlton Maldives', 'Patina Maldives', and 'Capella Maldives' (under construction). All three hotels are owned by the same Singaporean owner, and guests can use a complimentary boat service for dining reservations. Additionally, there is a separate staff island, so hotel employees have a concept of commuting to work and do not reside in the same area as guests. Patina Maldives is a speedboat island, but there is no exclusive lounge at 'Malé International Airport'. After an hour of bumpy boat ride, you arrive just when you feel like throwing up I later inquired, and the advantage of a 'speedboat island' is that you can arrive at any time and the price is relatively cheaper; 'seaplanes', being aircraft, are more affected by weather conditions. If you arrive on a late flight at Velana International Airport, you might have to spend a night in MALE and wait for daylight to take a seaplane to the island. Of course, if you are willing to spend more, you can also fly to the speedboat island Patina Maldives offers a ceremonious arrival experience, with butlers and staff clapping to welcome you at the dock. The island operates on its own time, one hour behind Malé, like a secluded paradise. However, when needing to coordinate with the mainland, this time difference always confuses me 'Patina Maldives, Fari Islands' was created by the Brazilian architectural firm Studiomk27, with the famous designer Marcio Kogan crafting a new example of biophilic design. Being in the Maldives, sustainability and environmental protection are very important. 'Fari Islands' can't even be found on a map; turning on the location just shows you're in the Indian Ocean. The 'sand villas' in the Maldives' off-season can be even more expensive than the 'water villas'. During the off-season, there are more storms and rough seas, making it impossible to enter the water from the water villas, and the sound of the waves can be very loud at night. But since you're already there, experiencing it all is what makes it perfect My butler was a lady from Shaanxi who has been working in the Maldives for over ten years. She confidently said that the dining at 'Patina Maldives' is among the best in the Maldives. On the island, it's all about water sports and dining, and the quality of dining really affects the overall experience. I have shared about each restaurant in detail. You can download the Patina APP from the Apple Store in advance, where you can see the menu and prices of each restaurant. The island settles in US dollars and operates on a tipping system, so it's best to exchange some small change in advance. Wishing you a happy holiday
