The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands opened in 2021 as the flagship Ritz-Carlton resort in the Indian Ocean - a 100-villa property on the Fari Islands of the North Male Atoll, 50 minutes by seaplane or 20 minutes by speedboat from Male International Airport. The resort is one of three distinct resort zones within the Fari Islands development, all connected to the Fari Marina Village - a Maldivian marina community with restaurants, boutiques, and cultural venues that forms the social heart of the island cluster.

The Overwater Pool Villas at The Ritz-Carlton Maldives are constructed above the turquoise lagoon of the North Male Atoll with private infinity pools that extend over the Indian Ocean, direct ladder access to the lagoon for snorkeling, overwater hammocks, and expansive sunset decks. The 350+ square metre villas include indoor and outdoor living areas, a separate soaking tub with ocean views, and the dedicated Ritz-Carlton villa host service available throughout the stay.

The resort dining programme includes La Locanda for Italian cuisine with Maldivian Indian Ocean ingredients, Summer Pavilion for Cantonese cuisine at the beachfront, and the Eau Bar for cocktails above the lagoon. The Fari Marina Village extends the dining options beyond the resort itself. The Ritz Kids programme is among the most celebrated children activity programmes in the Maldives, with the Kids Outdoor facility providing a curated Maldivian discovery curriculum for younger guests.
