Avani brand to debut in the Maldives
Minor Hotels’ Avani brand will make its Maldives debut with the opening of Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort in early Q2 2023.
Located in the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the resort will be Minor’s sixth property in the country.
Avani+ Fares becomes first hotel opening in this area of the Maldives for more than three years.
The new-build will offer beach pool villas, four-bedroom beach pavilions and three-bedroom over water villas.
Avani+ Fares will appeal to couples, families and friends with various dining, fitness, water sport recreation and spa treatments.
Guests will have access to the Avani house reef, a 220-metre reef teeming with marine life including turtles and dolphins and the nearby Fares reef which is 600 metres offshore.
“The arrival of Avani+ Fares in the Maldives meets a growing niche in demand for guests seeking alternatives to traditional luxury by providing a contemporary new offering, in one of the world’s most exclusive destinations,” said William Costley, Minor Hotels’ Senior Vice President of Operations for Asia.
