Patina Maldives

Patina perpetuals is an ever-evolving collective of progressive individuals who tune into people and planet to heighten our thinking and inspire our actions. The harmony of architecture and nature—Marcio Kogan and his team at Studio MK27 drew inspiration from the tropical beaches of Brazil, their home country, as they visualized the design of Patina, applying their obsession with perfectionism to everything from a single closet handle to the master plan of the whole island.

We rescued and planted thousands of trees and shrubs from neighbouring islands facing industrial clearing. We sought renewable materials in the creation of our structures. Our power is harvested from the sun, saving 795 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year. Water is preserved, filtered and recycled as irrigation for our verdant landscape. Our organic garden provides our chefs with a vital source that flourishes under the principles of permaculture. The fish on our menus is accredited as sustainable. And there is no single-use plastic to be found.
