Designed by one of our favorite architecture studios - Studio MK27, the newly open Patina Maldives Hotel is truly breathtaking. The stunning hotel is also setting new standards for sustainability in the Maldives, and is one of the world’s most eco-friendly resorts. Built with locally sourced, biodegradable and reusable materials, each of their private villa sanctuaries is honed from nature’s materials and pure creativity to soothe your senses and soul. All land villas and all overwater villas, ranging from one to three bedrooms, feature a generous private pool, outdoor bathtub, floor-to-ceiling sliding windows, and butler service. All have outdoor showers and interiors that seamlessly blend into the natural landscape.
