The hotel

If you’re dreaming of sun, sea, and serious style, Avani+ Fares Maldives is your perfect getaway. Nestled in the breathtaking UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, this destination is as Instagram-worthy as it gets – picture pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and beautiful villas designed for comfort and style.

Every guest enjoys the support of a dedicated Island Host, ready to take care of everything from dinner reservations to arranging unforgettable excursions.

Whether you’re travelling as a couple or with family, you’ll find great in-room amenities to make your stay truly seamless. Adults can unwind with premium entertainment systems, plush bedding, and spacious private decks, while families benefit from kid-friendly touches, extra space, and thoughtful extras to keep little ones happy.

There’s no shortage of things to do here. From kayaking, paddle boarding, and snorkelling with manta rays to peaceful spa sessions, the choice is yours. Diving enthusiasts will be in awe of the vibrant coral reefs, while those who prefer to relax can soak up the sun with a cocktail in hand at Smugglers Shack, the beachfront bar serving a surprise menu of the day. And when the sun starts to set, Tribe is the ultimate spot to take in those golden views.

This is more than just a holiday – it’s your own modern, comfortable island retreat, where every detail is taken care of and every day is as adventurous or as laid-back as you want it to be.

One of the things we had already paid for , wasn’t going to fit our schedule she made sure we could experience something else with it which was awesome. Our cleaning boy was Shard. Room were spotless everytime it was cleaned even tho the villa constantly had water. And our needs were always taken care off. Definitely not our last time. My Siblings and I had a BLAST. Also the photographer and snorkeling guide daai was amazing and taught us well. Overall amazing super friendly staff. 10/10 Read less

The first time I came to Maldives, I chose this hotel, which was very successful. I met a very good Chinese housekeeper, Zhang. The whole journey was very intimate and the service was thoughtful, which made us feel as comfortable abroad as at home. I love Anvani, and I love Maldives!
