Notably, he also served as Wellness Director for RAAS properties in India, where the ila-only spa at RAAS Devigarh was named among the world’s best by Condé Nast Traveler, and his “Devi Blessings Journeys” programme received the publication’s “Most Transformative Program” award.

"My vision is to position Patina Maldives at the forefront of modern wellness, where scientific innovation, personalisation, and soulful experiences come together to create lasting transformation,” shares Faraaz Tanveer. “I want Patina Maldives to be a safe haven where guests return again and again to reconnect with themselves. We will bring together the best of modern innovation and time-honoured practices, integrating wellness across the entire guest journey to create experiences that are not only restorative in the moment but meaningful and lasting in everyday life."
