Avani Hotels & Resorts announced the signing of two new resort hotels in the southern Thailand resort town of Krabi, marking the brand’s continued growth within Thailand. The existing resorts will undergo renovations to bring the properties in line with Avani standards which offer guests buzzy social spaces and stylish guestrooms.

The two hotels will be fully rebranded as Avani+ Koh Lanta Krabi Resort, set to launch by mid-2020, and Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort, which will open its doors under the new branding in late 2019.

Offering a little extra touch with every stay, Avani+ Koh Lanta Krabi Resort boasts of 83 rooms nestled within pristine wooded parklands, offering stunning sea views from its gentle hills with direct access to a secluded white sand beach adjacent to the renowned Klong Dao Beach. The island is just 70 km south of Krabi International Airport and can be accessed via a 15-minute ferry crossing from the mainland.

Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort will overlook the popular Ao Nang Beach with beautiful vistas of the nearby majestic limestone cliffs and sea views punctuated by spectacular islands in the horizon. The 178-key property will feature contemporary design, new dining experience and an Avani Spa relaxation facility.

Javier Pardo, vice president of operations for Avani Hotels & Resorts said: “We now are including Krabi in our portfolio as the Avani brand expands further through such agreements with trusted partners within Thailand.”

The newly rebranded resorts will bring the total number of Avani properties in Thailand to nine after Avani Sukhumvit Bangkok, set to open on July 2019.
