Luxury yacht Luminara from Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection moored before Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands
The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands, located in the North Malé Atoll, is set to host the new superyacht Luminara of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection from December 2025. This luxurious resort, designed to reflect the Maldivian sun and Indian Ocean, boasts 100 villas, including the Ocean Villas that seem to float over a turquoise lagoon.
In an exciting development, the Luminara will sail on two new sea routes: between Mauritius and the Maldives, and between the Maldives and Singapore. The Indian Ocean itinerary for the Mauritius to Maldives voyage offers a remarkable blend of luxury and natural experiences, with a two-night stay at The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands as a highlight.
Guests will be indulged by the award-winning kitchens of Fabio Trabocchi and Michael Mina, and pampered by wellness offerings at The Ritz-Carlton Spa. Culinary experiences range from Japanese omakase and Cantonese cuisine to Southern Italian and Lebanese flavours, while onshore dining highlights include Asian street food at Tum Tum and Levantine cuisine at Arabesque.
Nature and adventure activities include snorkelling and guided diving with naturalists around coral nurseries, sailing by traditional dhoni boats, deep-sea fishing excursions, and scenic seaplane flights offering aerial views of lagoons and sandbanks. Cultural and artistic exploration includes a short boat ride to Fari Marina Village to visit James Turrell’s Amarta installation.
Packages for a two-night stay in an Ocean Pool Villa at The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands start at $12,400 per person, including daily breakfast. The itinerary for the Maldives to Singapore route includes cultural discoveries in Colombo and Galle Fort, a visit to the Andaman Islands, and a journey through the towering limestone islands of Phuket and Langkawi.
The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands is part of an archipelago that includes three world-class hotel brands, and guests have access to the picturesque Fari Yacht Marina. The Fari Marina is built around a lively beach club and offers charming boutiques and a carefully curated selection of restaurants.
This Indian Ocean itinerary is part of two new exotic routes the Luminara sails in December 2025, one between Mauritius and the Maldives and another from the Maldives to Singapore, combining ocean cruising with luxurious island resort stays. In contrast, the inaugural summer 2025 itineraries of Luminara focus on the Mediterranean, including routes visiting the French Riviera, Italy, Croatia, Greece, and Northern Europe. But for the Mauritius to Maldives sector, the cruising experience centres on the unique natural beauty and cultural destinations of the Indian Ocean with top-tier luxury and wellness amenities consistent with The Ritz-Carlton brand standards.
