Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort

Welcome to Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort, where a warm Maldivian greeting awaits you. Nestled on Fares Island, at the western edge of Baa Atoll, this pristine paradise boasts white sandy beaches and vibrant biodiversity. Located nearby Hanifaru Bay, the resort offers extraordinary opportunities to snorkel among over 100 manta rays during the season and occasionally spot whale sharks. Choose from a selection of 176 Villas, Studios, and Pavilions for your stay, easily accessible within 35 minutes by seaplane from Velana International Airport or 20 minutes by domestic flight combined with a 35-minute speedboat ride.

At the heart of the culinary experience lies Wana Mola, embodying the essence of Maldivian cooking. The Chefs use traditional methods such as grinding stones and rolling pins to blend fresh spices and leaves into flavorful pastes used for marinating, grilling, and curries. The restaurants feature locally sourced, sustainable dishes made with organic ingredients, bringing Wana Mola’s essence to life with every bite.

Children and teens can create their ideal holiday at Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort. They can enjoy tailored programs at the AvaniKids Kids Club, participate in activities across the island throughout the week, and delight in dedicated children’s dining options and an outdoor water park.

As day turns to night, the island transforms into a lively hub of entertainment. From guest DJs and traditional drummers to mesmerizing fire shows and innovative molecular cocktails, the evening unfolds under a canopy of brilliant stars, undisturbed by light pollution. There’s always something captivating happening within the breathtaking surroundings.

Experience the spirit of Haharu from the moment you arrive as a guest until you depart as a cherished friend. Haharu, meaning “overabundant love” in Dhivehi, perfectly embodies the warmth and hospitality of the Maldivian people, ensuring your stay at Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort is truly unforgettable.

Dining

The Ocean Terrace

Flavours from across the oceans The Ocean Terrace is the place to explore, where East meets West and beach meets ocean.

For lunch and dinner, our live cooking stations sizzle with Mediterranean, Asian and speciality Maldivian flavours.

Charcoal

Fresh seafood, sizzling steaks and sunsets Dress up and head down to oceanfront Charcoal, the aroma from the centrepiece charcoal grill calling your name. The steak is dry aged, and the wine sommelier is on standby to recommend a glass (or bottle) to perfect your meal.

The Skipjack Restaurant

Plant yourself in a poolside lounger and exhale. Snack all day on wood-fired pizzas, tapas and noodles, with smoothies and iced coffee in between. Evenings are chilled as the sun goes down and the beats come on, with the occasional movie under the stars.

From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless — the planning, the transfers, the activities, and the hospitality were all top-notch.Our guide Mr Jason was not only knowledgeable and professional, but also warm, friendly, and passionate about sharing the local culture and hidden gems.We felt completely taken care of, and every moment exceeded our expectations. If you’re planning a trip to the Maldives, we highly recommend booking through this agency — they truly go above and beyond to make your dream vacation a reality.

Just returned back from the most amazing holiday at Siyam World. Personally want to thank Jason for his white glove literally hand holding service that he provided. My heart was set on joining my family on this trip and Jason helped answer all my questions (I had many) provided me with a very competitive quote and had the fastest response turnaround times to messages. Its always nerve wrecking booking with a company you do not know but Jason was very attentive and helped put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Lily tours and will not only book with them again but also refer Jason to all our friends and family. Already thinking of our next trip :)

We contacted Lily Tours Maldives for a vacation for my family. They were a great help in suggesting the right resort, considering the activities for kids, and booking the dates for us. The resort was an amazing one with great facilities and wonderful staff. We were well received on our arrival at the airport by Lily Tour staff, Ms. Sherbeth, and guided us to our perfect holiday. I must say that the experience was beyond my expectations and the arrangements made by Lily Tours and Oaga resort were amazing, which made our holiday the most memorable one.

We have got in touch with Ms Muzaina to book our four day Maldives trip with Lily Tours based on few recommendations from our close friends. I must say that she did not disappoint us. She was exceptionally professional in her approach providing us with all the necessary information and details whilst trying to accommodate all our requests with the hotel. Her presence at the Male Airport gave us comfort and confidence that we are in safe hands. She even surprised my daughter and wife with flowers at the airport 💐
