Suitable for children aged between 6 and 11 years.

COOKING CREATIONS
Educating tiny travellers on the importance of food provenance and the benefits of a balanced diet, the Cooking Creations experiences focus on the way our senses – smell, taste, touch, and sight – impact our relationship with food and change our perceptions of dishes and ingredients. Choose from one of the 3 themes: Journey of the Senses, Food Art and Local Food Appreciation. All activities are suitable for guests aged 4 years and above.

KID’S SPA WORKSHOP
Wellbeing is a hallmark of the Patina Maldives experience, and the Kid’s Spa Workshop is designed to encourage a focus on healthy living from an early age.

FAB LAB
Part of Footprints, the Fab Lab at Patina Maldives takes a pioneering, futurethinking approach. Here, kids can turn recycled ocean plastic into models using 3D printing and laser cutting technology, echoing the energy-saving prefabrication techniques used in the modular construction of the resort’s villas. Other activities include designing a race car using sustainable wood, learning the art of Origami crafting and creating mysterious shadow boxes.

ADASTRA
A cutting-edge trimaran, Adastra meaning "to the stars" in Latin, was specially designed for efficiency, stability and performance. Conceptualised in 2012 by leading race yacht builders, McConaghy Yachts, for island adventuring, a shallow draft of 1.2 m (3.9 ft) means the vessel can explore a wider range of harbours and islands, perfect for the turquoise shallow waters of the Maldives. A 16m beam offers a cleverly designed and light-filled interior that feels spacious, with spectacular views through the panoramic windows. The foredeck has a large area for sunbathing, and the artfully designed garage door folds out to form a large diving platform. Below deck, extra space has been created by flaring the central hull directly above the waterline, housing a full-beam master cabin and two guest cabins, as well as crew accommodation. Currently docked at Patina Maldives Fari Islands, the Adastra is available for private events, overnight stay and group cruises. 


RETAIL THERAPY
The luxurious Retail Therapy experience at Patina Maldives takes place in the comfort of the guests’ villa. A style expert from The Rake – a luxury e-commerce platform offering an expertly curated offering of clothing and accessories, as well as exclusive collaborations with the most exciting sustainable artisans and brands in the world – will present a selection of resort wear to each guest - which they can mull over, Champagne in hand.
