With its zero-waste kitchens, energy-positive practices and biophilic, Brazilian design, Patina Maldives is one of the most eco-friendly resorts in the world and is breaking the mould of what it means to be a Maldivian resort. It's all incredibly aesthetically pleasing too, with a theme of soft, earthy minimalism throughout that just oozes urban cool. The offerings here are next-level, from sensory deprivation tanks and transformative silent festivals to freediving programmes and snorkelling under the stars. It's all very, very cool, but the resort never loses focus and each stay revolves around personalised barefoot comfort and relaxation.
