With an extensive career across the globe — United States, Canada, Egypt and the Indian Ocean — he has previously worked at Lily Beach Resort & Spa in the Maldives, as General Manager. A French national from Toulouse, Patrice played an instrumental role at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts during his 18-year-long association with the brand.
It is a privilege to be a part of the incredible team at LUX* South Ari Atoll Resort & Villas, a resort that has become synonymous with leading luxury hospitality and sustainability across the region. I look forward to welcoming guests to this unique destination and to help them celebrate life.

With a Master’s degree in Business Administration in Hospitality Management from the Ecole Supérieure Internationale De Savignac in France, Patrice is fluent in French, English and Spanish. Likewise, as an avid diver, he enjoys his time underwater immensely.
On behalf of The Lux Collective, we are excited to welcome Patrice to the group and for him to join the amazing team on the island. His many years of experience in the luxury hospitality and his passion for what he does will most certainly contribute to the continued success of the resort.
