 AN OCEAN OF ADVENTURE

Paradise is the best way to say it. We’re a new 5 star resort in the Maldives that is something straight out of your wildest dreams. Picture perfect beaches, stylish studios and villas, world-class diving, and incredible food. What more could you want from an epic adventure in the Maldives?

Our island resort is located on the western edge of the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, where once-in-a-lifetime encounters include dolphin visits to our lagoon and snorkelling with manta rays at Hanifaru Bay. Escape the hectic city life, switch off from the world and stay a little longer at our Maldives island resort. An island like this is a dream come true so live the dream and make it last with us. Bask in the warmth of ‘haharu’, the Maldivian spirit of hospitality, at Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort.

  • Wining, dining and after dark partying on the beach
  • Brilliant house reef, ocean adventures and excursions
  • 35 minutes by seaplane from Velana International Airport
  • 35 minutes by speedboat from Dharavandhoo Domestic Airport


 

Our island is one big playground, surrounded by nothing but ocean. Zoom across the waters with our high-tech toys, or slow down and chill by the resort pool. The diving in the Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve is beyond compare, as is our house reef.

Splash
The main resort pool is a hangout haven, with views towards the horizon, a pool bar serving up ice-cold drinks, sun loungers galore, a Jacuzzi and slide.


Zoom
If it’s adrenaline you’re after, you’ve come to the right place. Jet through the water with a Seabob, launch into the air with a flyboard, or soar over the lagoon with kitesurfing and parasailing. Our fleet of speedboats and yachts is also on standby to take you where the big game are, the dolphins play and the sun sets.


Dive
Fares' means reef in Dhivehi, and boy is our reef spectacular. Located within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the colours of the corals are surreal and baby reef sharks swim right up to the shoreline. Just snorkelling around the island brings encounters with hawksbill turtles and whale sharks, while nearby Hanifaru Bay is world famous for its hundreds of manta rays.


Score
For those who prefer to keep their feet on the ground, the island is equipped with full-sized tennis and badminton courts, as well as an air-conditioned games room for chilled playtime.


After Dark
Our island bursts to life at sundown, with DJ beats, traditional drumming and fire shows, all underneath a blanket of brilliant stars. Gather around the fire with a molecular cocktail in hand, and dance the night away.

THINGS TO KNOW

  • For a smooth experience try to arrive 15 minutes before your appointment. Enjoy a refreshing beverage, fill out a quick consultation form, and get ready for spa time.
  • We love kids, but the spa isn’t a fun place for them. If you’d like to leave your little ones in safe hands, just call our front office to ask about childcare services.
  • In your newly relaxed state, you might just forget a thing or two after treatment. Leave anything you don’t want to lose in your room.
  • No need to bring cash or a credit card. All treatments are charged to your guest room and are payable at check‐out.
  • Let us know if you can’t make your booked treatment. We’ll need at least four hours’ notice for single treatments and 24 hours for packages. Otherwise, we’ll need to charge you half the cost.
  • Don’t burn up the bliss. Please refrain from sunbathing after aromatherapy treatments.
  • Stubble just gets in the way. Guys, make your decision before any facial treatment: grow or glow?
  • Calm is calling, but not on your phone. Keep the spa peaceful and your mobile in your room.
  • Our spa is already delicately scented. You really don’t need to smoke here.
  • Please arrive on time to enjoy every blissful second of your treatment.

Our island offers just the right balance of isolation and accessibility. Our location in the Baa Atoll guarantees uninterrupted views of sparkling ocean, but we’re also easy to get to.

There are two options. From Malé, you can fly directly to the resort in a seaplane, but only in daylight hours. If you land after 3:30 pm, you can instead transfer by domestic flight to our local Dharavandhoo Airport, then hop on a speedboat to the resort at any time. We’re happy to make all arrangements for you – just contact us at least 3 days in advance.
