IMMERSIVE OCEAN EXPERIENCES Nestled at the North-eastern rim of the North Malé Atoll, The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands is surrounded by a vibrant coral reef complemented by dive sites and sandbanks. Guests can enjoy diving through coral-encrusted shipwreck sites, snorkelling with endangered hawksbill turtles in marine protected areas or showing off on the trendiest watersports toy in the world’s bluest waters in an archipelago, offering both a social and serene atmosphere. Leisurely snorkels in the lagoon are an adventure with various coral bommies to explore, scattered in the vicinity, each teeming with marine life from soft fan corals to branch corals swarming with fishes and sheltering lobsters.
