Avani+ Fares Maldives Named Best Beach Resort at TTM Awards 2025

Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort has been named Best Beach Resort at the Travel Trade Maldives (TTM) Awards 2025, marking its second consecutive win after also winning Best Dive Resort in 2024. Announced at the ceremony on 28^th August in Malé, the achievement highlights the resort’s exceptional beachfront setting, contemporary design and leadership in delivering world-class island escapes within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll. These back-to-back accolades reinforce Avani+ Fares’ position as one of the Maldives’ foremost destinations for a beachside getaway. Winners of the annual TTM Awards are determined through a combined voting process by the public, travel trade professionals and tour operators.

Set on the natural tropical island of Fares, the resort is defined by wide swathes of powder-soft sand, turquoise lagoons and shaded coconut groves. Guests can hide away in a Beach Pool Villa, complete with private pool, shaded sun deck and every modern comfort, or opt for a Two Bedroom Beach Pool Villa, the perfect sanctuary for families or friends seeking shared beachfront living. Designed for both seclusion and connection, each villa offers direct access to the shoreline and the relaxed barefoot lifestyle the Maldives is famous for.

“We are honoured to be recognised as Best Beach Resort at the TTM Awards 2025, and especially proud to retain a win for the second year running. This award highlights not only the natural beauty of Baa Atoll, but also the dedication of our team to create memorable beachfront experiences that connect guests with the island in meaningful ways,” said Judd Rabbidge, General Manager, Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort.

Beyond its beaches, guests enjoy a wealth of experiences, from watersports and wellness to vibrant nightlife, cultural performances and seven innovative dining venues, including Petit Bistro, the Maldives’ first kids-only restaurant.
