Art, Champagne and island life.
Maison Ruinart is heading back to The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands, and this time it’s bringing French artist Alexandre Benjamin Navet along. After last year’s collab with Chinese performance artist Liu Bolin, the Champagne house and the Two MICHELIN Key resort are teaming up again for an exclusive residency.
If the name sounds familiar, that’s because Navet and Ruinart go way back. In 2021, he was the first artist asked to reimagine the brand’s eco-friendly Second Skin packaging. This time he’s swapping packaging for palm trees, with installations inspired by the island’s flora, fauna and colours popping up across the resort. He’ll also be completely taking over the Beach Shack, the resort’s beachfront restaurant.
The residency launches from 18 to 23 December 2026, with Navet himself on the island, and runs all the way through to April 2027.
