Avani+ Fares Maldives, recently voted Best Dive Resort 2024 by Travel Trade Maldives, invites guests to experience island life with the Ambaa Adventure. This first-of-its-kind service sees a traditional Maldivian dhoni sail across the turquoise waters of Fares to deliver handcrafted cocktails directly to guests’ private overwater pool decks. 

Taking its name from the local Dhivehi word for ‘cheers’, Ambaa is a joyful toast to life, connection and memorable moments. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm, guests staying in one of the resort’s Over Water Villas or exclusive two- and three-bedroom Sunset Over Water Pool Residences can watch the horizon for the yellow sail of the Ambaa boat gliding across the turquoise lagoon. Designed in the style of a traditional Maldivian dhoni, once used for fishing and island transport, the vessel celebrates local heritage with a contemporary twist.

As the floating bar circles the island, guests can signal the captain for their sundowner by raising the exclusive Ambaa flag from their private deck. Once docked, the onboard bartender, crafts complimentary cocktails or mocktails infused with vibrant flavours that mirror the beauty of the Maldivian reef.

“With the introduction of Ambaa Adventure, we are bringing the magic of Maldivian hospitality right to our guests’ villas,” said Judd Rabbidge, General Manager at Avani+ Fares Maldives. “Overlooking nothing but the endless ocean and breathtaking sunsets, this experience is a perfect reflection of Avani’s focus on creativity, guest connection, and celebrating local traditions.”

Guests can enjoy the Ambaa Adventure and benefit from a 20% more savings when booking the Your Passport to Paradise offer for stays between 1 March to 22 December 2025.
