This December, a new chapter in ultra-luxury travel unfolds in the Maldives as The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands welcomes Luminara, the newest superyacht from The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.

In a rare pairing of sea and shore, guests can now enjoy a seamless journey from ocean to island, combining the elegance of yachting with the serenity of a Maldivian villa stay.

A Voyage Like No Other

Two limited-edition itineraries will debut in December 2025, connecting Mauritius, the Maldives, and Singapore.

Whether starting or ending with the Maldives, travellers will enjoy two nights in an Ocean Pool Villa at The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, a contemporary architectural masterpiece designed by Kerry Hill Architects.

Villas feature expansive sundecks and private infinity pools, offering uninterrupted views of turquoise waters.

Life on the Island

During their stay, guests can indulge in holistic wellness at The Ritz-Carlton Spa with Bamford treatments, explore the rich marine life through snorkelling and diving with naturalists, and savour world-class cuisine ranging from Japanese omakase to Southern Italian and Levantine flavours.

Beyond the resort, the Fari Marina Village awaits with boutique shopping, James Turrell’s Amarta light installation, and vibrant dining spots like Tum Tum and Arabesque.
