The Ritz-Carlton has its own island inside the Fari Islands archipelago, 45 minutes from Velana, and the speedboat runs on demand around the clock. Land at two in the morning and you still sleep on the island.
Three nights for two, half board with the return speedboat and every tax inside, starts at ₹655,700. The boat used to be quoted on top here, and it was the line that surprised people.
What this actually costs
Pick a villa and a package above and the price is the whole stay at that villa’s standard occupancy, with half board, the shared speedboat and every tax inside. Every villa has its own pool and a butler on call 24 hours.
- Book the fourth night. Three nights buys the villa and the boat. The fourth adds a spa credit of US$200 in a one-bedroom villa and US$500 in a two-bedroom, and upgrades two-bedroom guests from the speedboat to a shared yacht. In the Ocean Pool Villa that night costs ₹141,400.
- Two children under twelve stay, eat and travel free in every villa except the Ocean Pool and the Lagoon Pool. So a family of four takes the Beach Pool Villa: five nights in September is ₹1,123,700 with the children free, against ₹2,329,700 for the Two Bedroom Water Pool Villa.
- September is the cheapest month here and it stops abruptly. The Ocean Pool Villa is ₹655,700 for three nights to 29 September and ₹794,600 from 6 October. Nothing is sold between those two dates.
Not on the dropdown, but we will book them: two nights in an Ocean Pool Villa then two in a Beach Pool Villa, ₹843,400 in September and ₹55,600 less than four straight nights on the beach; stays of seven nights and over, where each extra night drops to a lower rate; and the six-person Ritz-Carlton Estate.
Who this isn’t for
Anyone after a small barefoot island. Fari has a promenade, a marina and neighbouring resorts, and it is built that way on purpose.
Anyone choosing a resort on its house reef. This is a man-made archipelago with no natural reef ringing the island. The sunrise side is calm and shallow with fish and small reef sharks off the villas, which suits nervous swimmers and children, but for coral you take a boat about twenty minutes out. And families on a budget should note the free-child offer skips the two cheapest villas.
Before you book
- Three consecutive nights minimum, in one villa. For travellers from India, new bookings only, and it cannot be combined with another promotion, though honeymoon benefits do stack.
- 30 September to 5 October is not sold, and the last stay date is 17 December 2026. A split stay needs four nights; the resort decides which villa you get first and confirms it on arrival.
- Lunch, drinks and the speciality restaurants are settled on the island. A third adult is US$2,647 on three nights and US$3,187 on four, half board and the boat included.
- Ritz Kids takes four to twelve year olds. The spa credit covers treatments only.
