I didn’t want this holiday to end. Patina Maldives truly stole my heart. From the moment we arrived, everything felt thoughtful, relaxed, and just… perfect. Huge shoutout to our lovely Essentialist, Apiko, who took such great care of us the entire time. Even when he wasn’t around, Shamoon and Ruslan stepped in and made sure we had everything we needed — always with a smile. We stayed in the Beach Pool Villa, which had an amazing ocean view and direct beach access — ideal for a quick dip anytime. Big thanks to the housekeeping team who kept everything spotless and refreshed without us even noticing. Every meal was a highlight Helios : Our first dinner with Aegean flavors and a dreamy sunset. Great food, great vibes. Fari Beach Club : As a Thai, the Thai dishes were spot on. Hats off to Chef Mohit and the whole FBC crew! Brasa : Steak lovers, don’t miss this. Juicy steaks, delicious sides, and wonderful service from Meo, Hottensia, and Chef Rappe. Gogo Burger : Perfect after a day of snorkeling — super satisfying! Wok Society : Our final dinner, and it couldn’t have been better. Everything from the dim sum to the crispy eggplant was full of flavor. Thanks Chef Zhang, Christina, and the whole Wok team for the warm and welcoming service. Also, big thanks to Anjil and the pool team for taking such good care of us. Every moment here was full of joy and comfort. Already dreaming of coming back!
