AVANI+ FARES is a full-service resort in Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve known for manta rays, whale sharks, and strict environmental rules. The resort opened in 2023, so everything—from the Malin+Goetz spa products to the Technogym cardio machines—is brand new. There are three room categories: Pavilions (two-storey blocks with ocean-view or beachfront rooms), Villas (beach or overwater, some with plunge pools), and Residences (multi-bedroom suites with kitchenettes and glass floors). Most villas have the same efficient layout: minibar, Nespresso, snack cart, and a bathroom with an outdoor shower and soaking tub.
The house reef is directly accessible from the overwater villas, beach, and arrival jetty. Guests on the Premium All-Inclusive plan get one complimentary sunset cruise per person and unlimited kayak use. The dive centre runs daily snorkel and dive trips, though Baa Atoll’s famous sites like Hanifaru Bay require a short boat ride.
AVANI+ FARES offers five meal plans: bed & breakfast, half board, full board, all-inclusive, and Premium All-Inclusive. The Premium plan is the only one that includes all restaurants, premium alcohol, and a long list of cocktails. Without it, you’ll pay à la carte prices—cocktails run $24–$30 each, and wine by the glass is priced higher than at some luxury resorts. I always recommend the Premium All-Inclusive to clients; it removes the mental math and lets you order that second glass of champagne without checking the bill.
To give you an accurate quote, I need a few details up front. First, your travel dates—Baa Atoll’s manta season runs from June to November, and seaplane schedules can fill up quickly. Next, the room category: Pavilions are the most budget-friendly, Villas add space and privacy, and Residences are well-suited to families or groups. Finally, confirm whether you want the Premium All-Inclusive plan; it’s the only way to avoid à la carte charges for drinks and specialty dining.
Once I have these details, I’ll send you a custom quote that includes seaplane transfers, taxes, and any applicable promotions. There’s no obligation, and I’ll hold the quote for 48 hours so you can compare it with other options.
Online travel sites show you a base rate, but they don’t tell you that the Premium All-Inclusive plan is the only way to avoid à la carte charges. They also don’t warn you that seaplane transfers are only very likely if you book through a concierge who monitors flight schedules. I’ve visited AVANI+ FARES twice since it opened, and I know which villas have the best sunset views, which beachfront rooms are tucked behind mangroves for extra privacy, and how to secure complimentary upgrades during low season. When you message me on WhatsApp, you’re getting a quote tailored to your travel style—not a generic rate from a search engine.
I’ll also walk you through the resort’s hidden perks. For example, the Island Bazaar shop sells handmade Maldivian jewellery and clothing, with proceeds going directly to local artisans. The gym has Woodway treadmills and a separate yoga pavilion, and the spa uses Malin+Goetz products. These details matter when you’re choosing between AVANI+ FARES and another Baa Atoll resort. My goal is to make sure you pick the right property the first time—no regrets, no last-minute changes.
Your journey starts at Velana International Airport, where an AVANI+ FARES representative meets you in the arrivals hall and escorts you to the seaplane check-in. The resort shares a private lounge with Anantara and Niyama, stocked with snacks, drinks, and free Wi-Fi. Seaplane transfers take 35 minutes and are operated by Manta Air, which provides water and earplugs on board. You’ll land at the resort’s jetty, where staff greet you with welcome drinks and a quick buggy ride to your villa for in-room check-in. The whole process takes about 2.5–3 hours from touchdown in Malé, depending on seaplane scheduling.
AVANI+ FARES is accessible by a 35-minute seaplane transfer from Malé International Airport. The resort shares a private lounge with Anantara and Niyama at the seaplane terminal, where you’ll wait for your flight. There are no speedboat options due to the resort’s location in Baa Atoll.
The resort offers Pavilions (two-storey blocks with ocean-view or beachfront rooms), Villas (beach or overwater, some with plunge pools), and Residences (multi-bedroom suites with kitchenettes and glass floors).

Yes. The Premium All-Inclusive plan covers all restaurants, premium alcohol, cocktails, and a $40 per-person credit at the Charcoal restaurant.

The Premium All-Inclusive plan includes Ocean Terrace (buffet), Skipjack Bar (poolside a la carte), Tribe (sunset bar), Smuggler’s Shack (tiki bar), and a $40 per-person credit at Charcoal (seafood and grilled meats). Hammock, the lobby bar, is also included.

Baa Atoll’s manta season runs from June to November, making this the best time for snorkelling and diving. However, the resort is open year-round, and low season (May and December) offers fewer crowds and more attentive service. I can help you choose the best dates based on your priorities.
Yes. The resort has a water sports centre with kayaks (included on the Premium All-Inclusive plan), paddleboards, and windsurfing. The gym includes a lounge with foosball and ping pong, and the Island Bazaar shop sells Maldivian-made toys and clothing.
