The Maldives is about to welcome a completely new kind of experience — where luxury island living meets world-class music. From 11 to 16 May 2026, Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort will host the debut edition of Your Paradise Maldives, a boutique music festival making its first-ever appearance in the Indian Ocean.
A New Era Of Island Experiences
Originally known for its successful editions in Fiji, Your Paradise Music Festival arrives in the Maldives with a strong international following and a decade-long legacy. This marks the first festival of its kind in the Maldives, combining curated electronic music with a lifestyle-driven island escape.
Set on the natural island of Fares in Baa Atoll, the festival is designed around the rhythm of island life — blending music, wellness, and social experiences into one seamless journey.

The Phase One lineup already features globally recognized artists such as:

Alongside Arielle Free, Low Steppa, Double Touch, Niiko x Swae, and more — with additional names still to be announced.
