Minor Hotels announces launch date of first ever Avani branded property in the Maldives

Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort will be debuting on the 1st of April 2023

The 176-key resort will be Minor’s sixth property in the country, strengthening the company’s position as a key player in the Indian Ocean destination.

Reachable within 35 minutes of Velana International Airport, the new resort will “unlock paradise” with multiple accommodation options, from beach pool villas and four-bedroom beach pavilions, to expansive three-bedroom over water villas that fan out across the island’s turquoise bay.

Fares is one of just 61 islands that enjoys the marine protected waters of Baa Atoll’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

William Costley, Minor Hotels’ Senior Vice President of Operations for Asia, says, “The first hotel opening in the area for more than three years, Avani+ Fares will continue to highlight Avani as a trailblazing hotel brand, filling a gap in the Maldivian hotel landscape.”
