The resort offers guests an opportunity to experience the fascinating marine life of the Baa Atoll’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. As one of only 61 islands situated in the marine protected waters of the reserve, guests have easy access to two of the area’s top attractions: Hanifaru Bay, providing an opportunity to get up close and personal with manta rays and whale sharks, and the awe-inspiring five islands landmark featuring a chain of ring-shaped islands. The resort has an impressive twelve dive sites right off the beach, a 220-metre house reef bursting with life, and an additional Fares reef that is just 600 metres away from the shore. Guests can expect to encounter playful turtles, dolphins, and a wide variety of marine life during their stay.
Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort offers guests a diverse selection of culinary experiences with its seven trendy restaurants and options for private beach and in-villa dining. Guests can sample local and international cuisine at Ocean Terrace and the poolside bar, Skipjack, while Charcoal offers a delectable selection of grilled dishes. The lobby’s Hammock is the go-to spot for grab-and-go snacks and kombuchas, while Tribe and Smuggler’s Shack provide a distinctive after-hours experience with their molecular cocktails and the largest collection of rum in the Maldives. The resort is also home to Petit Bistro, the first kids-only restaurant in the Maldives catering to young guests with healthy and universally loved dishes. No matter the dining option, guests can expect fresh ingredients from the resort’s mini farm which sources organic produce and locally caught catch of the day.
