This November, the Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort will transform into a vibrant canvas as it hosts “Island Illustrated”, a week-long artistic residency featuring acclaimed French contemporary artist Lucas Beaufort.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Beaufort will bring his signature whimsical figures and colorful forms to life through:

- Live Painting Sessions: Including a 200x200 cm canvas that evolves across different island locations.
- Large-Scale Mural Creation: Integrated into the resort’s architecture, celebrating the spirit of island life.
- Interactive Workshops: Open to guests of all ages—from kids discovering their first brushstrokes to adults exploring new techniques.

Why It’s Special
Beaufort’s art is rooted in connection, nature, and playfulness, perfectly mirroring the laid-back luxury of Avani+ Fares. Guests won’t just observe art—they’ll live it, co-creating and engaging with the artist in real time.

“Art for me is about connection—with people, with nature, with a sense of play. At Avani+ Fares, I want to share that spirit,” says Lucas Beaufort.

Bonus:
All activities are complimentary for resort guests.

Whether you're an art lover, a curious traveler, or simply seeking a unique escape, this residency offers a rare chance to immerse yourself in creativity while enjoying one of the Maldives’ most celebrated beach resorts.
