THE BEST: Top-notch Art Resorts in The Maldives 

Patina Maldives 

Art, nature, space, and community harmoniously coexist in Patina to create fruitful, long-lasting relationships. 

Discover the Synthesis Monoliths near the arrival jetty or be mesmerized by James Turrell’s Skyscape. Adding to this is the series of photographs by PALMS found in all the villas and the featured work by Hiroko Takeda. A series of sculptures by Jose Davila is found in the beach house, and MOMENTO is a work of art that hovers over the beach. The curation of playful, symbolic, ethereal works forms a connected path of discovery that asks questions, provokes new behaviors, and invites reflection and wonder.

The archipelago’s first and only art-immersive resort believes art should be immersive, spark curiosity, illuminate perception, and inspire insight. Guests can explore unique installations that blend international artistic influences with indigenous traditions, craftsmanship, and materials.

The resort’s exclusive art studio is a nurturing space for local artisans and enthusiasts. Through various events and workshops, guests can engage with guest artists who create interactive projects and nature-inspired collections, fostering their creative spirit. Lastly, they can bring a piece of JOALI’s artistic essence home through the Maison de Joali.
