Ways to Redeem Your Marriott Bonvoy Points in 2023 - AFAR
"Opened in June 2021 on the white sand beaches of the Maldives’ North Malé atoll, Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands is the vision of the late Kerry Hill, the Australian design legend behind some of the best resorts in Asia. Inspired by the sun, the resort’s futuristic-feeling circular theme starts with 100 round, wood-framed villas (some overwater, others on the beach, but all with a private infinity pool and serviced by a butler), and continues with a floating doughnut-shaped spa. The resort appeals to both families and honeymooners, with extensive daily programming including sunrise yoga, cinema under the stars, and stand-up paddleboarding and boat excursions. A kids club has a playground area accessed via a tunnel, complete with a multi-story playpen and slide flanked by water spouts. Multiple food and beverage options include the southern Italian restaurant La Locanda, which serves housemade pasta in an overwater setting." - Paul Rubio
