Experiences & Activities

At The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands, families and young guests are invited to engage with the destination through Ritz Kids. Designed for those ages 4 to 12, the program uses its four pillars—land, water, environmental responsibility and culture—to create a schedule of daily activities including sports, arts and crafts, cooking classes and more. The experience is based out of the Ritz Kids Club, futuristic indoor-outdoor space with playgrounds, napping pods, an area for video games and movies, and a pool with slides and jets. Babysitting service is available at a charge, upon request.

Cardinal directions offer more than a sense of location; a powerful energy is carried within each one. At The Ritz-Carlton Spa Maldives, the experience is built around this idea and shared within a striking overwater structure open to the lagoon.
