Avani+ Fares Maldives Full Resort Tour and Your Paradise Festival in 4K (2026)

Avani+ Fares Maldives full resort tour and review in 4K (2026). Beach villa room tour, breakfast, spa, pool, and the debut of Your Paradise Maldives, the first ever music festival in the Maldives. Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort & Spa is a 5 star resort located on Fares Island on the western edge of the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. "Fares" means reef in Dhivehi, and the house reef here is one of the best in the Maldives. Baby reef sharks swim right up to the shoreline, and the resort is just 55 minutes from Hanifaru Bay, one of the world's most famous manta ray gathering sites. Opened in 2023, the resort features 176 villas, studios, and pavilions across beach and overwater categories. Named Best Beach Resort 2025 and Best Dive Resort 2024 at the Travel Trade Maldives Awards. I stayed for 2 nights during the Your Paradise Maldives festival (May 11 to 16, 2026). Your Paradise is a boutique electronic music festival previously held in Fiji, now making its Maldives debut for the first time ever. 6 days of beachfront stages, golden hour lagoon sets, pop up beach parties, and after dark sessions. The lineup included Ayybo, Arielle Free, Coco & Breezy, Double Touch, Low Steppa, Melé, Niiko x Swae, Sarah Story, Tom & Collins, and more. In this video, I take you through the full resort experience. Seaplane lounge at Malé, arrival, beach villa room tour, breakfast at Ocean Terrace, AvaniSpa, the infinity pool and Skipjack Bar, and the best moments from the Your Paradise festival. Stay until the end for my top 3 favourite things about this resort.
