This Holi, Patina Maldives, Fari Islands is set to welcome the iconic Indian restaurant Khyber for a three-night takeover, bringing the spirit of the festival to life through shared tables, bold flavours, and joyful connection.
Rooted in craft and culture, the collaboration unites two brands that value authenticity, thoughtful hospitality, and meaningful experiences. Khyber’s time-honoured recipes from India’s North-West Frontier meet Patina’s design-led, modern sensibility, creating a dining experience that is both grounded and forward-looking.
More than a pop-up, the takeover represents a celebration of heritage and place. Set against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean, guests are invited to gather, connect, and mark Holi in a manner that is both communal and elevated.
Khyber, a name that for over five decades has embodied heritage and excellence, has become a cultural landmark, welcoming global travellers, dignitaries, and tastemakers from around the world, including Shakira, Brad Pitt, and, most recently, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
“This association with Patina Maldives is a celebration of elevated hospitality,” stated Sudheer Bahl and Ishaan Bahl, Founders of Khyber. “Both brands share a commitment to authenticity, excellence, and crafting memorable experiences that exceed expectations. With Khyber’s enduring legacy rooted in Indian heritage and culture, we are honoured to bring this rich narrative to one of the world’s most acclaimed resorts.”
Tom Bray, Director of Lifestyle at Patina Maldives, added, “This is about bringing people together through flavour, colour, and easy island energy.”
The experience, taking place from 3 to 5 March, features a festive menu designed to be shared and savoured, capturing the warmth and generosity of Holi.
