Patina Maldives, Fari Islands

Great service all around and one of the best resorts for families that I have been. Lots of activities suited for all ages, aside from the usual kids club activities for toddlers/young kids, there were also many activities to engage older kids (mine were 8 & 10). Essentialist assigned to us (Ruslan) did more than help us with arrangements, but proactively design and customise itineraries and also make sure there are little treats and surprises waiting for us back at the villa each day. Many restaurants to choose from and food quality was so good as compared to most resort restaurants we have experienced.

It was a wonderful experience on patina thank you afaa and patina team they really made my honeymoon amazing for me and for my wife

Just got back from the Patina Maldives, Fari Islands and—wow—what a trip! 🌴 The vibe: Total barefoot‑luxury. Chill playlists, beach bikes everywhere, and staff who remember your name like you’re old friends. Food: One island, world tour for your taste buds. We hopped from Greek mezze for lunch to hand‑pulled Chinese noodles at dinner, then wrapped up with a killer steak under the stars. Never got bored. Stuff to do: Blasted across crystal water on jet skis, then slowed it down on a guided coral‑reef snorkel (our guide was a marine‑life wizard). Sunsets were a nightly event—cocktail in hand, toes in sand. Room goals: Our villa opened right onto blinding‑white sand. Outdoor shower, massive bed, and a view so pretty it felt fake. Woke up to gentle waves every morning—hard to beat.

Saying our stay at Patina was unforgettable would be an understatement. From the moment we arrived, everything felt serene, luxurious, and beautifully curated. Our overwater villa was breathtaking; private, spotless, and designed with impeccable taste. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel truly cared for. Our essentialist handled every detail effortlessly, making our stay feel completely stress free. The food? Absolutely unforgettable. From the juicy burgers at GoGo Burger, to the flavorful Ihi Riha at Portico, the Shawarma at Veli Bar, the Choco Peanut Indulgence at FBC, and the creamy Pistachio Gelato from TukTuk; I’m still dreaming about it all. One of our favourite experiences was the Latte Art Class. It was so much fun! We also loved winding down with the board games available at the reception lounge. Whether you’re soaking up the sun on the beach, relaxing in your villa, or enjoying the daily experiences and activities, there’s always something to enjoy at Patina. It’s more than a vacation; it’s a place you’ll want to return to, again and again.

We had the best time at Patina Maldives. We stayed in a water villa, and everything felt so luxurious and comfortable. The service was amazing, and the food was honestly some of the best I have ever had. I just loved the whole vibe of the resort. It was peaceful, beautiful, and unforgettable.
