Set at the top of North Male Atoll, The Fari Beach Club and Fari Marine Village form part of Patina Maldives and the Fari Island concept which allows guests from Patina and The Ritz Carlton nearby, to enjoy fine drinking, fine nutrition and fine music. This is all brought together under the guidance of chef Nick Brill, Chef and Owner of The Jane restaurant in Antwerp and reputable DJ, making his tenure a perfect pairing for the vibrant social scene created at the heart of the Marine Village.

The casual seating and tables set the tone for the relaxed, fun and convivial atmosphere. The long bar holds an enviable collection of beverages which the bar staff transform into cocktails and mocktails to suit all palates and preferences.

The pool area provides plenty of space to relax, either in shady cabana’s or under the tropical sunshine. The pool itself allows easy immersion into the tropical paradise with endless expanses of turquoise, blue and white that make up the vast lagoon that Patina surrounds.
