This summer and for the rest of the year, we are going to want to remake our vital bonds with this planet. We’ve lived through an era of seismic change where we’ve been isolated, alienated, disconnected and alone. But now with the rapidly increasing number of vaccines that have been dispensed and international travel looking once again like a reality, it will not be long before we are able to reunite with the people we love and the friends we cherish.
Of the various destinations amenable to this ebullient celebration of kinship, our favourite is the Patina resort in the Maldives, situated on the Fari Islands in an atoll 45 minutes away by boat from the mainland of Malé. This is the first of a four-island ecosystem created by the extraordinary Singaporean real estate development group, Pontiac Land, that will also include the Ritz-Carlton and Capella hotels. Each hotel will be situated on its own island with complimentary boat transfers in between. Patina Maldives, which opened May 18th, 2021, comprises 90 villas and 20 studios, and is located on the largest of these’s new men’s and women’s boutiques, each housing a Revolution Watch and Jewellery Bar.
