(01 Mar 2022)  Minor Hotels has expanded its rapidly growing portfolio of Avani Hotels with the opening of the Avani+ Khao Lak Resort, a 327-key oceanfront property on Bangsak Beach in Thailand.

The brand’s largest resort in Thailand by number of keys, the property also serves as a launch pad for AvaniFit, a dynamic, 24-hour facility that aims to challenge fitness enthusiasts with a combination of endurance and resistance training, aerobics and high-intensity interval training.

Depending on their fitness objectives, guests can also sign up for boxing or tennis classes, or try their hand at hanging yoga and indoor or outdoor climbing wall.

Other facilities include a spa with six treatment rooms, a variety of F&B outlets, over 1,000 sqm of meeting and event space, as well as a two-storey AvaniKids club with splash park and a skate-park.

The 100,000 sqm resort offers a wide range of room categories, from Deluxe Lagoon Pool Rooms for couples and solo travellers to Family Pool Suites with garden views, separate living room and dining area, king and twin beds and a private balcony.

“I don’t believe there’s a better way to celebrate the return of international travellers to Thailand than with Avani+’s debut in Khao Lak — a destination on the up offering a sense of escape and rejuvenation thanks to its natural beauty and world-famous hospitality,” said Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels and Minor International, the parent company of Avani Hotels & Resorts.

The Avani+ Khao Lak Resort is located 90 kilometres north of Phuket International Airport and can be reached by car in approximately 1.5 hours.
