Just steps away from local cafes and bars, as well as the ever-popular Ao Nang Night Market, visitors can immerse themselves in the bustling social scene while still being able to enjoy Ao Nang’s natural beauty.
The 178 contemporary guest rooms, suites and private villas reflect Krabi’s natural landscape and are designed to deliver a peaceful sleep experience.

The resort features 178 contemporary guest rooms, suites and private villas, while an elevated swimming pool offers spectacular sunset views

Villas boast stunning sunset views, with a pool and relaxation area creating a private sanctuary, perfect for honeymooners.
The picturesque setting makes an idyllic backdrop for rejuvenation and pampering at the resort’s spa, with every treatment tailored to each guest’s goal, whether it is to combat jetlag or to relax in pure bliss.
Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort features an elevated swimming pool for spectacular sunsets, along with an indoor gym designed to keep up with any active lifestyle.
Families will love the indoor and outdoor playgrounds at AvaniKids, along with engaging family activities.
Four dining and drinking venues satisfy every taste.
- Orchid Bar, by the pool, serves hearty snacks and artisanal cocktails. Pano Café greets guests every morning with a deliciously replenishing breakfast, from fresh omelettes to traditional Thai rice porridge sets.

There is no shortage of aquatic activities but lazing around the pool can be fun as well
Krabi is renowned as a beach lovers’ paradise and an island-hopping mecca. Its clear waters are dotted with around 200 islands of all shapes and sizes, and guests can easily escape to the famous Railay Beach, which is only five minutes away
Visitors come to Krabi from all over the world to scuba dive, snorkel, kitesurf, sail, or just float along Phang Nga Bay into the Andaman Sea.
There is no shortage of aquatic activities, but for those who prefer to explore the land can hike in the stunning protected national parks or trails in the nearby mangrove forests.
Avani currently operates eight hotels in Thailand, with two more in the pipeline – Avani+ Koh Lanta Resort, opening in December, and Avani+ Khao Lak Resort, opening in 2021.
