Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, a fun-filled family holiday, or a sun-soaked adventure with friends, the resort caters to all moods and moments.

Snorkel vibrant reefs just off the beach, enjoy floating cocktails delivered by dhoni, or gather for laid-back beach dinners that turn into barefoot dancing under the stars. With exciting marine encounters, flavour-packed dining options, and memorable experiences for all ages, Avani+ Fares delivers the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and connection.
