We would like to announce our new project for the year 2026 called the Summer Collective at the Ritz Carlton Maldives Fari Islands, which is organized annually by collecting various workshops, events, and collaborations that will help to experience something special in relation to nature, wellness, culture, and creativity at the most fascinating place on Earth.The month from June to August is full of opportunities for guests to take part in a variety of events including meetings with famous professionals in wellness and culture (art, cooking, activists). These events will provide an opportunity for communication and exchange of information about the ecosystem of our resort.
Apart from different activities, this month will offer environmental awareness events, wellness events, as well as events that mark the resort's fifth anniversary. Other activities will include a series of bar takeovers. Bar takeover activities will run from June 6 to June 8 and include bars The St. Regis Bar Jakarta, Punch Room Tokyo, and Bar Sathorn. The theme of sustainability persists with interactive workshops, guided tours, and educational sessions conducted by the Naturalists of the resort that help in understanding marine conservation and island ecology. The eco-journalist Sarah Roberts makes a visit from June 10 to June 14, along with continuing efforts of the resort towards environmental conservation in partnership with the Olive Ridley Project.Wellness becomes a priority through the launch of Deep Blue Presence, the core philosophy of the resort. This is marked by an immersion experience of three days, from June 20 to June 22, conducted by the yoga practitioner Anabella Landa, comprising sunrise yoga, breath work, sound therapy, and rejuvenating spa sessions to celebrate International Yoga Day in Maldives.
July becomes the month of movement, surfing, and ocean exploration. The famous surfer Nic von Rupp will return to conduct the Surf Retreat, which takes place from July 1 to July 11.The program itinerary on the island recognizes this kind of dynamic energy by providing a range of activities for the tourists to choose from such as turtle snorkeling tours, shark encounters, and sunset dolphin tour cruises.Land activities include a wide selection of games, including tennis, padel, pickleball, beach volleyball, rigorous workouts, and even painting your surfboard and eco-art.
Arts, culture, and gastronomy related activities will bring the Summer Collective event to a close in August. Some of the events that will be taking place between August 13 to August 15 include the Fari Islands Festival that features some thrilling activities, such as the Wagyu Mafia Beach Dining, as well as Tomislav Topic's artistry.Further collaborations with Bamford, which features Jessica Hunt, provide customized well-being and beauty treatments, with conservation projects that see visiting experts from the Olive Ridley Project joining forces.The guest activities during the summer month include various creative and learning events, such as making ceramics, creating mosaics, marine-inspired art, and much more. The wellness aspect also prevails, featuring daily yoga sessions, meditations, and beach workouts.
As part of the Summer Collective initiative, the resort has prepared another exclusive offer for visitors, namely, the Embrace Island Life package valid until December 23, 2026.
