The property

Circular architecture in the Fari cluster

The Ritz-Carlton occupies one island of the Fari cluster, and the architecture is the calling card — Kerry Hill Architects' villas are perfect circles of timber and glass, unlike anything else in the country. Guests share the Fari Marina Village with Patina next door, which adds bars, a bakery and boutiques to the usual one-island equation. Butlers — Aris Meeha — run each villa in the Ritz-Carlton manner.

What makes it itself

Why people choose it

  1. 01

    Overwater villas

    Rooms built out over the lagoon, with the water directly beneath the deck — the reason most people come to these islands.

  2. 02

    A full spa

    Treatments on the property — massage, steam room, sauna, so a bad-weather afternoon has somewhere to go.

  3. 03

    Diving and snorkelling

    Run from the resort, which matters here: the boat leaves from your own jetty rather than an hour up the coast.

  4. 04

    A children's club

    Supervised hours for the children, which is the difference between a holiday and a fortnight of childcare with a view.
