Classic luxury with an island twist
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

There’s an unmistakable air of luxury surrounding the tropical paradise that is The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands. It could be the secluded chain of private islands, the boldly designed overwater villas or the above-and-beyond private butler service. Or it could simply be postcard-perfect natural surroundings: sparkling turquoise waters, lush vegetation and blue sky as far as the eye can see.
This ultra-luxe resort is a feast for the eyes. One hundred villas are all created with a unique curvature and lined with strategically placed wooden slats to maintain a sense of privacy. The circular overwater villas — a marked departure from the thatched-roof villas prevalent in the Maldives — form an oval around the ring-shaped spa. Indoor/outdoor living spaces feel seamless, with retractable wall-to-wall windows and spacious outdoor showers.
In fact, The Ritz-Carlton eschews the barefoot luxury look of other Maldives resorts in favor of a sleek, modern aesthetic. You won’t find gimmicks like waterslides into the ocean or glass-bottomed bathrooms — just pure, unadulterated luxury.
