Patina Maldives, Fari Islands

Absolutely loved our stay at Patina Maldives. The hotel is beautiful, very modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed. Everything felt fresh and aesthetic, and the ocean around the island is just incredible. The staff was extremely warm and attentive, and a special thank you to Davron, our butler, who took amazing care of us during the whole stay. The hospitality truly exceeded our expectations. Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was peaceful and luxurious, and overall the experience felt very special. Would definitely love to come back. 🤍

Our family recently enjoyed a truly memorable stay at Patina Maldives, and it was an experience that exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, the stay felt flawlessly organized. I stayed in a Beach Villa with my wife & kids. The villa was exceptionally spacious, private, and beautifully designed, offering the ideal balance for both family time and personal relaxation. The level of service throughout the resort was what really elevated the experience. A special appreciation goes to Muba, our Essentialist, who was always attentive, thoughtful, and consistently went out of his way to ensure every detail of our stay was taken care of. The children were especially delighted with the gifts from Muba. Our younger ones also thoroughly enjoyed their time at Footprints, and we are grateful to Edi and the team for their kindness, patience, and warm approach throughout. Dining across the resort was another highlight. Every venue we visited delivered excellent quality food along with genuinely warm service. Many thanks to Anjil, Afzal, Meisi, Hittu & Myvee for their consistent hospitality and friendliness, which made every meal feel special. A special thank you to Dhille and the watersports team for their excellent service, as it was our children’s first experience trying watersports activities and they truly enjoyed it. Overall, it was an outstanding holiday experience, and I would like to sincerely thank the entire team at Patina Maldives for making it so effortless, enjoyable, and memorable. We are already looking forward to coming back again in the future.

Our family had an unforgettable stay at Patina Maldives, truly one of the best resorts we have ever visited. From the moment we arrived, everything felt exceptional. I stayed in a Sunset Water Villa with my husband while his family stayed in a Beach Villa, and both were incredibly spacious, private, and beautifully designed, making them perfect for both couples and families. What stood out the most throughout our stay was the outstanding service from the team. Hamdhoon, Afrah, Niko, and Ahad from the airport and transport team ensured our arrival and departure transfers were smooth, seamless, and completely stress-free. A heartfelt thank you also goes to Muba and Fubu, our Essentialists, who made everything feel effortless and consistently went above and beyond to make our holiday even more memorable. Zaan and Zaul absolutely loved the thoughtful gifts from Muba, and the beautiful room decoration arranged on our final night was such a lovely and meaningful surprise. The kids also had an amazing time at Footprints Kids Club, and a special thank you to Edi and the entire team for being so warm, friendly, and caring throughout their stay. The dining experience was exceptional across every restaurant we visited, with both the food and service consistently exceeding expectations. Special thanks to Afzal and Myvee from Wok Society, Hittu from Portico, Ottoman from Tuk Tuk Gelato, Meo and Meisi from Fari Beach Club, and Monte and Anjil from Brasa for their warm hospitality and friendliness. Every team member we met made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. A special mention also goes to Fittu, whom we met near Bird Island, for helping us capture some amazing family photos that we will always cherish. Thank you to everyone at Patina Maldives for making our family holiday so special and memorable. We truly look forward to returning again in the future.

We had a fabulous first stay of 5 nights at Patina Maldives, which was greatly enhanced by the exceptional efforts made by Choris Rusdiana and her colleagues (Ahu, Aiman, Moona, Monty, Roni, Ripee, Jessica and others). On our first night, we enjoyed a very special dinner with Choris and friends on the beach, with delectable Asian food from Wok Society, including the very special Peking Duck. (Thank you, Aiman!) Every meal brought new surprises, such as a Maldivian breakfast feast, a full English breakfast, an Asian breakfast, Indian Dosa and other specialities we might not have tried on our own. Everything was delicious, and we usually had to skip lunch because we’d eaten so well at breakfast. The array of food available at Portico was amazing, and everything was fresh and beautifully presented. You would need a good couple of weeks to sample your way through everything, and then you’d need to buy a new wardrobe! We enjoyed dinner at Farine (with an off-menu request for seafood pasta with Alfredo sauce that was happily catered for), Fari Beach Club for delicious sashimi, and a magnificent sunset “castaway dinner” on a floating platform in the lagoon in front of Portico on our last night. Many thanks to Anjil for taking beautiful photographs of our castaway dinner, creating everlasting memories of a special evening. Our essentialist Jalaal handled our various requests promptly and with good humour. My husband had a somatic massage by the visiting doctor, and I enjoyed a relaxing and therapeutic Japanese Watsu treatment in the spa pool exclusively used for that purpose. We visited the neighbouring Ritz-Carlton Maldives for a couple of lunches with friends and enjoyed the Eau Bar’s offerings in particular. Our beach pool villa was very spacious, stylish, comfortable, clean and quiet, with full privacy from the neighbouring villas provided by dense foliage. Thank you to Jailam, our room attendant, for keeping everything so immaculate. Patina is on a larger island than many other resort islands, and we enjoyed exploring it on bike and seeing the featured artwork. We loved every minute of our stay and very much hope we can return next year for a longer visit. Huge gratitude to Choris and Ahu in particular for making our first visit so special and memorable. 🫶
