Your Paradise, the boutique music festival known for pairing electronic sounds with destination-led escapes, is heading to the Maldives for the first time. From 11 to 16 May 2026, the festival will take over Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort, bringing a curated line-up of global DJs and producers to the shores of Baa Atoll.

Music And More

Set on the natural island of Fares, on the western edge of the UNESCO-listed Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve, the festival is designed to move with the rhythm of the island. Days unfold with golden-hour sets by the lagoon, before shifting into pop-up beach parties and after-dark sessions that flow seamlessly from sunset to night.

The phase one line-up blends feel-good house with deeper club sounds, featuring names such as Ayybo, Arielle Free, Coco & Breezy, Low Steppa, Melé, Sarah Story and Sasha Spielberg, alongside Double Touch, Niiko x Swae, Tom & Collins and Tori Levett. With limited tickets available, the experience is intentionally intimate, offering a more relaxed alternative to large-scale festivals.

Luxury Setting

Between sets, guests are invited to ease into island life. Avani+ Fares offers a mix of Beach Pool Villas, Over Water Villas and multi-bedroom pavilions suited to festival crews, couples and solo travellers alike. Beyond the music, days can be spent snorkelling the house reef, diving in the surrounding atoll, or exploring nearby marine highlights such as Hanifaru Bay, known for its seasonal manta ray gatherings.

Wellness also plays a central role in the experience, with sunrise yoga and meditation sessions at AvaniFit, followed by recovery rituals at AvaniSpa. For a distinctly local touch, the resort’s Ambaa Adventure sees a traditional dhoni cruise the lagoon, delivering handcrafted cocktails and mocktails directly to guests’ overwater villas.

Since opening in 2023, Avani+ Fares Maldives has quickly established itself as a lifestyle-forward resort, earning recognition at regional and global hospitality awards. Hosting Your Paradise marks the resort’s first music festival, adding a new chapter to its growing reputation as a destination for both relaxation and culture-led experiences.

Your Paradise Maldives promises a sun-soaked blend of music, movement and island living — where festival moments unfold at a slower, more considered pace.
