Bangkok (Thailand) – January 30, 2020 (travelindex.com) – Avani Hotels & Resorts announces the opening of the Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort. This opening marks the brand's first entry into the Thai resort town of Krabi. The opening of the Avani+ Koh Lanta Resort will follow later this year.

The centrally located Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort offers breathtaking views of the limestone formations rising from the Andaman Sea. Just steps away from cafes and bars, as well as the popular Ao Nang Night Market, visitors can immerse themselves in the vibrant nightlife while enjoying the natural beauty of Ao Nang.

The 178 modern guest rooms and villas reflect the natural landscape of Krabi and are designed for restful sleep. The private villas, located slightly higher up on the property, offer breathtaking sunsets and feature a pool and relaxation area – a private retreat, ideal for honeymoons.

The picturesque location provides the ideal backdrop for relaxation and pampering at the AvaniSpa. Each treatment is individually tailored to the needs of guests, whether to combat jet lag or for pure relaxation. The Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort features an elevated swimming pool with spectacular sunsets, as well as a gym designed by AvaniFit for an active lifestyle. Families will love the indoor and outdoor play areas in the AvaniKids area and the diverse range of family activities.

The Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Hotel presents five new restaurants and bars, offering a diverse range of options to suit every taste. The Orchid Bar by the pool serves savory snacks and handcrafted cocktails. At Pano Café, guests are greeted each morning with a delicious, fortifying breakfast – from fresh omelets to traditional Thai rice porridge dishes. Enjoy the sunset at The Cliff, the resort's centerpiece: an infinity pool bar overlooking the cliffs and the Andaman Sea. Alongside the breathtaking views, a wide selection of handcrafted cocktails, wines, and craft beers awaits. The Peak Rooftop Bar opens its doors as soon as the stars appear, treating guests to refreshing drinks accompanied by laid-back beats. The Ao Nang Buffet is a popular local hangout, offering freshly caught, succulent seafood and Thai favorites.

Krabi is known as a paradise for beach lovers and island hoppers. Its crystal-clear waters are dotted with some 200 islands of all shapes and sizes. Visitors from all over the world come to Krabi to dive, snorkel, kitesurf, sail, or simply float in the Andaman Sea in Phang Nga Bay. There's no shortage of water sports opportunities. Those who prefer to explore the land will find pristine jungles, mangrove forests, and waterfalls, as well as impressive temples and picturesque villages that welcome visitors throughout the coastal province.

“We are delighted to welcome the Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort to our portfolio,” said Javier Pardo, Vice President of Operations at Avani Hotels & Resorts. “The resort is not only centrally located but also an ideal base for island hopping tours. We are confident that our guests will enjoy the picturesque scenery of Krabi.”
