If you’re on the hunt for a holiday that does more than just offer sun, sea, and sand, Patina Maldives, Fari Islands might just have what you’re looking for.
The resort has unveiled its latest Pathways programme, a series of curated experiences that combine the best of nature, wellness, creativity, and exploration.
Running from September 2024 through January 2025, this new chapter is all about connecting with yourself and your surroundings in a deeper, more meaningful way.
Craft Candle & Soap Making
Starting in September, guests can try their hand at crafting eco-friendly candles and soaps. It’s not just about creating something to take home, but about understanding and appreciating the local Maldivian ingredients that go into each product.
The workshops, running from the 6th to the 30th, are led by ISO-certified Ogaa, who uses the ancient cold-processing method.
It’s an ideal way to combine creativity with sustainability, producing something that’s both beautiful and kind to the environment.
Wine Tasting on the Pier
If your idea of a holiday involves a good glass of wine, Patina Maldives has you covered. On September 22, October 26, and November 25, the resort will host exclusive wine-tasting sessions on its unique stargazing pier.
Here, you’ll have the chance to sample wines from prestigious global makers, including Balthasar Ress.
This isn’t just a typical wine tasting; it’s an experience enhanced by the spectacular Maldivian night sky—a perfect blend of sensory pleasures.
A Culinary Experience with Bo Bech
October brings the return of Michelin-starred chef Bo Bech to the Maldives. A pioneer in the Nordic culinary movement, Bech will once again partner with KŌEN at Patina Maldives to offer guests a unique dining experience.
