Elevating the Art of Ballet with Karis Scarlette at Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort
Karis Scarlette, an ex-Royal Ballet dancer who triumphed over a career-halting injury, is a beacon of inspiration, sharing her passion for ballet globally with individuals at all skill levels. Her signature ballet retreat is making a comeback to Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort from November 11th to 24th, 2024, offering attendees the chance to immerse themselves in the world of classical ballet within the resort’s airy dance studio. Highlights include “Tutus & Twirls,” a child-friendly program combining storytelling with interactive props; “Sunrise Serenity,” which integrates stretching, mobility, and mindful breathing; along with personalized sessions aimed at enhancing posture, footwork, strength, and confidence. This unique ballet experience is set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Maldives.
Discovering Pari Sophary’s Cambodian Craft Gin at FCC Angkor by Avani
Pari Sophary, the visionary behind Herbal Kulen, is dedicated to sustainability, utilizing local botanicals from Kulen mountain’s foothills to create organic, fair-trade, and environmentally friendly products. In a field predominantly occupied by men, Pari stands out for her botanical expertise and determination to establish Cambodia’s presence in the international craft gin scene. Guests at FCC Angkor by Avani can savor Herbal Kulen at the Scribe Bar, where expert mixologists craft cocktails like the Cambodian Negroni and Apsara Sour, encapsulating Cambodia’s essence in each glass.
Empowering Women through Sooriya Weaving with Avani Kalutara
Sooriya Weaving, a beacon of female entrepreneurship in Sri Lanka, stands out by employing women weavers and contributing to the local handloom industry since 1976. With only about 35% of Sri Lankan women in the workforce, Sooriya Weaving’s commitment to using 100% virgin cotton and natural dyes is commendable. Visitors at Avani Kalutara can explore the Southern Province’s largest handloom factory, meet the artisans, and even weave their own fabric, selecting from a wide array of colors and patterns.
