A Luxury Honeymoon at The Ritz Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands

Intricate designs, luxury overwater villas, a diverse range of dining experiences, and a wellness spa inspired by the earth’s energy. Those are just a handful of reasons why Marriott's The Ritz Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands became one of the Maldives’ hottest destinations as soon as it debuted in 2021.

If you’re seeking a lavish honeymoon that you will remember for the rest of your life, The Ritz Carlton Maldives was made for you. Let our luxury travel experts tell you why:

You and your significant other will be transported to the island in style in a luxury speedboat. The journey takes an hour, but you won’t realise how quickly time flies as you sink into the comfortable seats and absorb the views. The crew will serve you delectable snacks and refreshments. The speedboat features an indoor and open-air area, a bathroom, Bamford diffusers, and lacquered tissue boxes.

Upon arrival, you are greeted by the Ritz Carlton’s Ladies and Gentlemen (staff), which includes your Aris Meeha (butler) who will take care of everything throughout your stay. The beginning of your memorable experience is marked by blowing a giant conch shell or Sangu, a beautiful Maldivian tradition that dates back to hundreds of years. Afterwards, you are taken to your villa for check-in in a buggy, from which you will have an amazing first look of the island, its lush vegetation and its signature circular designs.

The Ritz Carlton Maldives presents eight different accommodation options, which includes three overwater villas, four beach villas, and an exclusive estate. The Lagoon Pool Villa is a popular choice among honeymooners, with its lagoon-facing king bed and sunset views creating the ultimate atmosphere for romance.

The overwater villas come with a private outdoor space featuring an infinity pool with sundeck, overwater hammock with direct lagoon access, and a spacious outdoor shower. Watch a romantic movie from your oversized bathtub. Play charming music from the room’s speakers as you watch the spectacular sunset views from your bed. Before you’re done exploring your room, two bicycles will be parked in front of your villa to begin the adventure.

From Italian espressos to Cantonese tapas to traditional Maldivian flavours, you will be spoilt for choice with seven restaurants and bars on the island. 

La Locanda smells like fresh coffee in the morning and homemade pasta in the evening.  Other options for lunch include the Beach Shack for Mediterranean cuisines, Eau Bar for beachfront dining, and Arabesque for Lebanese and Indian flavours. At night, head to the Summer Pavilion, an overwater restaurant where you can enjoy modern Chinese cuisine in an intimate setting. Or the open-air Japanese restaurant Iwau, where sushi and sashimi are offered at romantic tables for two within the pool itself.

The Ritz Carlton Maldives has something for every type of traveller - whether you’re an active couple, relaxing couple, or a combination of both. The island features a luxury spa, a fitness centre with ocean views, volleyball and tennis courts, and a watersports centre. 

The spa is truly one of the main highlights of the resort - a ring-shaped sanctuary nestled over the turquoise lagoon featuring nine spa treatment rooms, which includes a spa suite with its own relaxation lounge, a salon and a boutique. Signature treatments include the Bamford Signature Journey, which combines Japanese Shiatsu, Swedish Massage, Face and Indian Head Massage; and the Maldivian Signature Rejuvenation, which incorporates organic coconuts and pearly-white sand on a full-body massage to nourish, relax and rejuvenate.  

Another unique experience is the island’s sunset ritual, which takes place daily at EAU Bar in front of a circular pool.  Sip into the night with refreshments and beats of the Maldivian boduberu drum as staff members bring out torches to light up a ring perched at the pool’s edge. It creates a mesmerising scene, with the calming blue hues marrying the fiery reds and oranges as the sun sets. What better way to end the day?
