Avani Fares Maldives opened newly in August 2023 and is the sixth resort opened by the Anantara group in the Maldives. It is located on Fares Island on the western edge of Baa Atoll, which has the best diving environment, and can be reached by a 35-minute seaplane; a domestic flight plus speedboat option is also available. Close to Hanifaru Bay and Fares Island, there are large manta ray storms every year, and there is a high probability of seeing whale sharks.
Highlights
① Newly opened by the long-established Anantara brand, so service and management are not a concern; ② Within the UNESCO biosphere reserve, a diving holy land; ③ Has a kids' club and a dedicated children's restaurant.
Before you go
Newly opened; the resort is still settling in; looking forward to more feedback.
