General Manager’s Message

Welcome to the third edition of Sangu Magazine.

The beautiful seas of the Maldives attract visitors from different corners of the world. The rare blue waters still captivate me. Even after 30 years, it still holds a certain mystic. But what intrigues me most is the islanders’ connection to the ocean, the tales of the seas, folk stories of magical sea creatures, expeditions to the hidden wonders or the simple island life shaped by the waters. At The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands, we wish to bring this connection and island spirit to our guests through authentic and one-of-a-kind experiences.

We are delighted to be the first resort in the region to partner with Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ambassadors of the Environment program, offering guests exclusive destination experiences and signature adventures from fascinating findings from the Cousteau family’s voyages.

The impact of global warming feels even more real when living on these fragile islands. We strongly believe in taking an active approach to protecting and preserving nature. Hence, we work closely with Fari Foundations, a conservation hub designed to tackle these serious threats while offering conscious travellers an opportunity to participate in our journey to protect the planet through engaging experiences such as the coral propagation project.
