The Patina brand was created for progressive travellers. Inspired by independent minds with a deep appreciation of culture and community and devotion to the wellbeing of the planet, Patina Hotels & Resorts encourages guests to nurture a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them. The social spaces intuitively provide for individual needs, ensuring that no two stays are the same. Located in extraordinary urban and natural landscapes, Patina brings unexpected, sophisticated and fresh experiences together to reveal layers of possibility.

Patina Maldives, Fari Islands will be the first launch, with properties in Ubud, Bali and Sanya, China, also in development. Located in the North Atoll of the Maldives, Fari Islands celebrates nature, craft and connection.

Set to open in Q420, Patina Maldives is designed by Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan. The resort offers 90 beach and water villas, ranging from one to three bedrooms, all of which embody a harmony of sanctuary and stimulation. The resort also offers 20 Fari Studios.

Nicholas Clayton, CEO of Capella Hotel Group said, “Patina Hotels & Resorts will become a new leader in progressive hospitality. Focusing on creating a seamless experience, the brand is refreshing, dynamic and modern, appealing to the blended lifestyle of today’s curious and conscious consumer. We look forward to bringing the Patina vision to life when we open Patina Maldives later this year.

Singapore-based real estate developer Pontiac Land launched Fari Islands in the Maldives on 3 March, 2020. Located in the North Malé Atoll, 50 minutes by speedboat from Malé International Airport, the Fari Islands archipelago features three hotels, a marina and a purpose-built village campus. Capella Hotels & Resorts, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, and Patina Hotels & Resorts will manage the properties on Fari Islands.

Hotel guests will have access to the Fari Marina, built around a Beach Club and hosting boutiques as well as upscale food and beverage options. Fari Islands will pursue creative collaborations with renowned names in art, music, culinary arts, photography, fashion and design. Programmes will be designed to foster a sense of community, whilst maintaining a deep appreciation for the Maldives' natural beauty.
