Sips by dhoni: Cocktails delivered by a traditional Maldivian boat
Cocktails delivered by boat? Yes, please! At Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort, you can order handcrafted cocktails directly to your overwater villa via a Dhoni.
Rooted in Maldivian history, the Dhoni is a traditional boat crafted mainly from coconut wood. Inspired by ancient Arabian dhows, these boats have evolved from fishing vessels to versatile crafts for transportation, tourism, and more.
Now, Avani+ Fares has given this historic vessel a fun twist – using it to deliver your favourite cocktails straight to your overwater villa. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm, you can experience "Ambaa," taking its name from the local Dhivehi word for ‘cheers.’ It’s a joyful toast to life, connection, and memorable moments. Kick back and relax while the wooden Dhoni brings your drinks straight to your deck. It’s the perfect way to toast the sunset with a cultural twist, adding a special touch to your trip.
