(PRESS RELEASE) BANGKOK, 2025-Apr-10 — /Travel PR News/ — Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort is excited to introduce the Ambaa Adventure—an exclusive new service that lets guests fully embrace island life. Inspired by the Maldivian Dhivehi word for “cheers,” Ambaa Adventure features a traditional dhoni that sails gracefully across the turquoise waters of Fares to serve handcrafted cocktails and mocktails directly to guests’ private overwater pool decks. Available every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm, this unique floating bar experience caters exclusively to guests residing in the resort’s Over Water Villas or its upscale two- and three-bedroom Sunset Over Water Pool Residences. Designed with a nod to local heritage, the vessel reflects the classic Maldivian dhoni—once a vital tool for fishing and island transportation—while incorporating contemporary design elements for a modern twist.
Guests can enjoy the spectacle by watching the distinctive yellow sail glide across the lagoon. To order a sundowner, they simply raise the exclusive Ambaa flag from their private deck to signal the captain. Once aboard, the bartender crafts a selection of complimentary beverages, such as The Green of the Fares—a refreshing blend of basil, lime, apple, and gin; the Ambaa Breeze—a tropical mix of watermelon, pineapple, lemon, ginger, and white rum; or the Fares Kurumba—a rich cocktail celebrating the island’s coconut heritage with coconut water, Malibu, and spiced gold rum. This innovative service coincides with Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort’s recent accolade as Best Dive Resort 2024 by Travel Trade Maldives, further enhancing the island’s appeal for both divers and travelers seeking unique aquatic adventures.
In addition, guests who book the Your Passport to Paradise offer—available for stays from 1 April to 22 December 2025—enjoy a special 20% savings benefit.
