The Anantara experience was born in 2001 with our first luxury property in Thailands historic seaside retreat of Hua Hin. Our thoughtfully designed luxury hotels and resorts provide windows into the genuine modern character of each destination. Avani hotels are perfecting the balance between work and play, design and function, service and privacy, laid-back and lavish. Our city and resort destinations pulse with life, emanating from our buzzy social spaces and extending throughout the hotels.
