Luxury Resort Brings Maldivian Hospitality Directly to Guests’ Doorsteps with Floating Cocktail Bar
Fares, Maldives – Avani+ Fares Maldives, recently named the Best Dive Resort 2024 by Travel Trade Maldives, is offering guests a unique opportunity to embrace the essence of Maldivian island life with the launch of its captivating Ambaa Adventure.
This innovative service features a traditional Maldivian dhoni sailing across the turquoise waters of Fares to deliver handcrafted cocktails directly to the private overwater pool decks of the resort’s guests. Inspired by the Dhivehi word for ‘cheers,’ the Ambaa Adventure embodies a celebration of life, connection, and unforgettable moments.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, guests staying in the resort’s Over Water Villas or exclusive two- and three-bedroom Sunset Over Water Pool Residences can look out for the yellow sail of the Ambaa boat gliding across the lagoon. Modelled after the traditional Maldivian dhoni, historically used for fishing and transport, the vessel blends local heritage with modern sophistication.
As the floating bar navigates around the island, guests can signal the captain by raising the Ambaa flag from their private decks. Once the boat docks, the onboard bartender crafts complimentary cocktails or mocktails, using vibrant flavors inspired by the beauty of the Maldivian reef.
“With the introduction of the Ambaa Adventure, we are bringing the essence of Maldivian hospitality directly to our guests’ villas,” said Judd Rabbidge, General Manager at Avani+ Fares Maldives. “Surrounded by the endless ocean and stunning sunsets, this experience perfectly encapsulates Avani’s commitment to creativity, guest connection, and honouring local traditions.”
Guests can participate in the Ambaa Adventure while enjoying a 20% discount by booking the ‘Your Passport to Paradise’ offer, available for stays between 1 March and 22 December 2025.
