The resort

Overview

A 42-hectare island in the Fari Islands archipelago, North Malé Atoll, designed by Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan of Studio MK27 — a 45-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport, built as much around art as around the beach.

Patina Maldives opened in 2021 as the flagship of Patina Hotels & Resorts, Capella Hotel Group's newer lifestyle brand, on a 42-hectare island in the Fari Islands archipelago. Marcio Kogan's Studio MK27 designed it around minimalist architecture and an island-wide art collection rather than the more traditional overwater-villa template — a permanent collection alongside a rotating Fari Art Atelier artist residency, and a James Turrell light installation, Skyspace Amarta, as one of its centrepieces.

Highlights

  • Designed by Marcio Kogan (Studio MK27)
  • Permanent island-wide art collection plus a monthly artist residency
  • James Turrell's Skyspace Amarta light installation
  • 13 restaurants and bars, including a food-truck dining depot
  • 45-minute speedboat transfer from Velana International Airport
