Unwind & Play – A Family Retreat in the Maldives

2026-10-23

We had a wonderful stay at Avani+ Fares Maldives and were impressed by the hospitality from the very beginning. Upon arrival at the airport, the team welcomed us and assisted us with the seaplane check-in. We were then escorted to the Minor Hotels Lounge to relax while waiting for our flight. When it was time to depart, a staff member came to take us to the seaplane. The flight to the resort took around 35 minutes, and the whole journey was smooth and well organized. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the resort team. Umar, our Haharu Host, took great care of us throughout our stay. He showed us around the resort and escorted us to our Overwater Villa. Umar was very attentive, professional, and knowledgeable. He explained everything in detail and always responded quickly whenever we had questions. His service really made our stay even more enjoyable. Our villa was beautiful, clean, and had absolutely stunning views. One of the best things about staying here was the marine life right in front of our villa. We saw all kinds of fish and sea creatures, especially eagle rays and sharks, which came by almost every day. It was amazing to enjoy these encounters right from our own villa! The resort has three restaurants, and we enjoyed trying different ones throughout our stay. Overall, the food quality was very good for a five-star resort. However, since we stayed for five days, we felt that breakfast could have offered more variety. Some of the dishes were repeated quite often, so a little more variety would have made the experience even better. The resort is located on a private island, with plenty of activities to enjoy. The spa was fantastic, and the views were simply breathtaking — it truly felt like paradise. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Avani+ Fares Maldives and left with some wonderful memories. The beautiful surroundings, amazing marine life, and warm hospitality made this a very special experience. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing island getaway in the Maldives!
