SUNSHINE, SHORE AND SERENDIPITY

WITH BORDER restrictions eased and international tourism opening its doors, its that time of the year again when one can plan a vacation. If balmy weather, crystal-clear waters, white-sandy beaches, delicious Thai food, a concoction of mocktails, and warm locals, is your type of vacay, then gear up to visit Khao Lak, a cluster of villages in Thailand that makes for the perfect refuge for all of you who love beaches.

But where exactly in Khao Lak? We suggest the Avani+Khao Lak resort. Away from the hullabaloo of city life, this resort is about an 80-minute drive from the Phuket International Airport. You can rent a taxi or a car at the airport. Alternatively, the resort will be happy to assist with transfers. The travel time passes in a jiffy as the gorgeous view, along the way, keeps you engaged and enthralled.

Avani+Khao Lak embraces its guests with an impressive entrance that has gigantic trees on one side and small temples on the other. Located on Thailand's stunning Phang Nga coastline, overlooking the sandy shores of the Bangsak beach, this luxury property, flanked by majestic trees, is spread across 100,000sqm, and boasts of beautiful landscaping, delicious food, and activities that will keep your fun quotient kicking through the day. It is effortlessly one of the most sought-after beach destinations for your next vacation.

Situated on the lustrous shores of Thailand's Andaman Sea, the 327 rooms and suites property offers a range of family pool suites, deluxe lagoon pool rooms, fitness centre, spa, four different pools, a kids' club, delicious dining and staggering sea views.
