Rooms and pavilions are built around families: two-bedroom and four-bedroom pavilions, villas with and without pools, AvaniKids from age 2 and a Teens Club open around the clock. It sits in the Baa Atoll biosphere reserve, a short trip from Hanifaru Bay.
The verdict
Who it suits, and who it doesn’t.
What to know before booking
Seaplanes fly in daylight only, so late arrivals take a domestic flight and a speedboat. Entry rooms are hotel-style rooms rather than villas, and private pools start with the Beach Pool Villa. Choose a board plan, because the island has a handful of venues.
Who it isn’t for
Couples who want a quiet adults' hideaway. Vakkaru Maldives, also in Baa Atoll, has a more private feel.

Questions we get about Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort.
The seaplane flies in daylight only. Later arrivals fly to Dharavandhoo and take a speedboat. We confirm the cut-off for your dates.
That is the focus. AvaniKids takes children from age 2, Petit Bistro is a kids-only restaurant for ages 4 to 11 and the Teens Club has a games room and chill-out zone.
The Two Bedroom Ocean View Pavilion sleeps three adults and three children, and the Four Bedroom Beach Pavilion combines two ocean-view rooms and two beachfront rooms.
The resort does not publish halal certification on the sources we found. We confirm kitchen arrangements before booking.
Bed and breakfast, half board, full board and all-inclusive are listed. With a small number of venues, half board is a sensible starting point for stays of a week.
