AVANI Pattaya Resort & Spa Offers Guests A Refreshing Change Bangkok

AVANI Pattaya Resort and Spa launches today in one of Thailand’s popular beach resort destinations. Conveniently located in the heart of the city, on Pattaya Beach, the 298-room resort offers great sea views and a relaxed vibe for both business travellers and holidaymakers.

Previously operating as Pattaya Marriott Resort and Spa, over USD 5 million has been invested in refurbishing the resort, including guest rooms, meeting rooms, the Elephant Bar and Garden Café Restaurant, plus the resort has introduced The Pantry, an inviting zone where guests are able to eat, grab a quick bite or stock up their mini bars.

AVANI Sea View and AVANI Garden View Rooms, along with the AVANI Garden Terrace Suites have been redesigned to offer an improved use of space and a host of modern comforts. The design is contemporary and fresh and the neutral colour palette is subtle and stylish, creating a space that is restful and soothing.

The newly refurbished Garden Café Restaurant offers a tranquil spot forbreakfast, lunch and dinner. The design style is organic, natural and uncluttered with warm textures and muted tones of plum, grey and shades of white. The varied buffet offers international fare and classic Thai dishes. Lunch and dinner favourites include the seabass with masala sauce, pumpkin risotto and local tiger prawns. Sala Rim Nam, the resort’s open-air Thai restaurant, is encircled by lotus ponds and tropical flora. Experience a Thai culinary journey surrounded by the sea breeze and the fragrance of Frangipani blossoms. Standout dishes include the Massaman chicken curry and Choo Chee salmon.

The tranquil AVANISpa offers a different approach to wellness, focusing on each guest’s individual needs rather than offering only standard treatments. The therapist conducts a consultation with the guest to accurately ascertain what treatment the guest really needs. Treatment options include Boost, Balance, Calm and Purify. Rejuvenating Boost treatments are the perfect antidote for those suffering from low energy and jet lag. Balance treatments ground the body, mind and mood and Calm treatments release muscle tension, relieve anxiety and recharge the mind. Purify treatments offer the perfect detox. Guests can also enjoy outdoor treatments in the air-conditioned spa pavilions by the pool.
