10 Best Honeymoon Destinations for Every Type of Couple | Condé Nast Traveler

If there was ever a time and place to splurge on a vacation, it’s a honeymoon in the Maldives. Screensaver-blue waters and Pinterest-worthy overwater bungalows are a common sight in this corner of the world, but the enchanting Fari Islands—with its trio of new ultra-luxe resorts, community marina, and beach club—really ups the ante. A 50-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport in the North Malé Atoll ferries couples to one of three stunning resorts: Patina Maldives, Fari Islands (from $1,950 per night) and the Ritz-Carlton Maldives (from $1,500 per night), both debuting this spring; and the Kengo Kuma–designed Capella Maldives (from $2,800 per night), opening in early 2022. 

Patina Maldives, Fari Islands, is the first flagship property from Patina Hotels Resorts, a new lifestyle brand from Capella Hotel Group. The property was designed by Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan of Studio MK27 and features 90 one- to three-bedroom beach and pool villas, 20 studios, and a specially commissioned James Turrell Skyspace pavilion. Sustainability is a top priority here—from the environmentally mindful architecture to the coral adoption program and the property’s prohibition of single-use plastics.
