Bandos Maldives Kicks Off Festive Celebrations
Patina Maldives invites guests to immerse themselves in a unique experience where the allure of the natural world and sophisticated architecture coexist harmoniously. The resort offers a diverse range of options for the guests, from tranquil privacy in individual villas to the vibrant social atmosphere of Fari Marina Village and Fari Beach Club. This innovative approach allows guests to curate their stay, balancing seclusion with architectural exploration.
Recently awarded as the Best Design Hotel at TTM Awards & Gala 2024, Patina Maldives showcases nature-inspired design, elegantly fusing luxury with the captivating natural environment of the Maldivian archipelago. Created by renowned Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan by Studio MK27, the resort offers an immersive experience through thoughtfully designed villas and communal spaces that celebrate sustainability and the beauty of nature.
The resort features 90 exquisitely designed Beach and Water Pool Villas, alongside 20 Fari Studios, each crafted to provide both privacy and a connection to island life. Earthy tones and natural textures are woven throughout the design, while expansive windows frame stunning ocean views, inviting the outdoors into each serene space. This attention to detail fosters a tranquil atmosphere, encouraging guests to unwind and embrace the beauty of their surroundings.
The resort’s spa, Flow, is a serene oasis designed for rejuvenation. At its center is a shallow pool bathed in natural light from a skylight, casting beautiful patterns of light and shadow that enhance the tranquil atmosphere. Surrounding the pool, calming natural materials like warm woods, smooth stones and natural pathways create a peaceful environment that promotes relaxation.
The dining venues at Patina Maldives are well designed, offering a visual feast that complements the culinary experience. Each restaurant and bar is thoughtfully crafted to reflect the surrounding landscape, featuring open-air layouts and organic materials that create a seamless connection with nature. The aesthetic details enhance the atmosphere, making every meal not just a dining occasion, but a sensory journey. Whether it’s the panoramic views or the carefully curated decor, each venue showcases the resort’s commitment to design excellence, ensuring that guests enjoy their meals in a beautiful setting.
Throughout the resort, artwork ranges from intricately handcrafted design pieces to prominent installations, such as “Amarta,” a striking creation from the Skyspaces series by world-renowned U.S. artist James Turrell. Inside the Skyspace pavilion, the open ceiling frames the sky, while concealed lighting subtly alters perceptions of colour, distance, shape, and density, showcasing James’s exploration of light and the ethereal.
Patina Maldives and Studio MK27 have made significant efforts to ensure that the resort operates with a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. From energy-efficient design to the use of locally sourced materials, every aspect of the resort has been carefully considered to minimise its ecological footprint while maximising guest enjoyment.
With thoughtfully designed spaces and a commitment to sustainability, the resort encourages guests to connect with their surroundings while enjoying exceptional comfort and sophistication. Patina Maldives is a beacon of innovation, paving the way for a new era of design-focused luxury travel.
