The Maldives has no shortage of luxury resorts, but Patina Maldives? It's something special.

Even at full capacity, it feels like your own private island paradise – thanks to cleverly designed spaces and hidden nooks. Nine incredible restaurants, bars, and three food trucks serve up sustainable cuisine all day long. (Don't miss KŌEN: Japanese and Nordic flavors create some of the most memorable meals you'll ever have.)

But here's what really makes me smile: you can help seed coral reefs, care for rescued sea turtles, or spend your afternoon with wild dolphins.

Ready to experience one of the Maldives' best-kept secrets? Let's plan your escape!

Feeling like you need some quality 'me time' after the holiday chaos? Solo travel might be exactly what you need.

This is your chance to be delightfully selfish – in the best way possible. Sleep in or wake up at sunrise. Spend three hours in that museum or skip it entirely. No judgment, no compromises – just you living your best life.

Insider Tip: Stay at boutique hotels or luxury lodges that offer social spaces and activities. Perfect for when you want to meet people – and equally perfect for when you don't!

Ready to plan your solo escape? Let's make it unforgettable.
