Exceptional service
As one would expect from such a property, every effort is taken to ensure a truly bespoke experience for guests. This includes anticipatory service – when staff understand your desires before you do. For instance, if you arrive exhausted after traveling long distances to reach the hotel, they might arrange a soothing bath filled with sea salts and fragrant candles as part of anticipatory service.
The resort’s personalized approach can also be seen in its dining options. Boasting seven distinct culinary venues that strike an optimal balance between high-end dining, beachfront luxury, and wellness-centered menus; Summer Pavilion takes inspiration from The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore by serving modern Cantonese cuisine while Iwau offers multisensory teppanyaki grills for multisensory gastronomy adventures. La Locanda serves luscious espressos and aperitifs every morning while family-friendly Beach Shack embraces carefree Mediterranean spirit by serving shared plates of shared plates of seafood dishes served alongside shared plates of shared plates of shared plates and grilling seafood!
Each of Kerry Hill Architects’ 100 elegantly designed villas at this resort, situated either over clear waters or among beautiful beach coves, blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces with expansive living areas, private pools, customised amenities, and an ‘Aris Meeha’ butler refined by The Ritz-Carlton that welcomes their guests with a respectful nod and an endearing “right hand on the heart”.

Hotel Capella Hotel Group stands out by featuring a marina that’s shared among three luxury resorts – something rare in Maldives where most developers focus on optimizing beachfront space to build villas.

Fari Islands puts staff facilities as the core focus of its property, according to Khemka.
