Is The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands worth your Marriott Bonvoy points? TPG's Nicky Kelvin goes inside one of the world's most aspirational luxury resorts to find out.
In this full review, we tour the iconic circular overwater villas with private plunge pools, and break down the dining, beaches, spa, and service that make this one of Marriott Bonvoy's top-tier redemptions. Most importantly, we show you exactly how to book this stay using points, what to expect before you arrive, and whether this bucket-list resort is actually worth it.
