Avani’s Family Friendly Resorts across Asia
Avani’s Family Friendly Resorts across Asia and the Indian Ocean are shaped around distinct kid personalities and parent priorities, helping families choose the right fit from the outset. The result is a more seamless holiday experience where every guest, regardless of age, can enjoy the stay in their own way. For more details, check out the individual hotels below or their website.
At Avani+ Hua Hin Resort, Water Babies take centre stage
The main pool at Avani+ Hua Hin Resort features a giant splash obstacle course that transforms pool time into a full-on challenge, while the beachfront setting keeps the beach at the heart of the stay. Between the pool, the sand and expansive resort grounds, this is a natural fit for kids who never want to leave the water.
For Sporty kids drawn to movement and activity
Avani+ Khao Lak Resort offers a high-energy playground built for action. A skate park, climbing wall and open activity zones are complemented by Muay Thai boxing classes, introducing young guests to Thailand’s national sport in a fun and age-appropriate way. A two-storey AvaniKids club and water park round out an experience designed to keep kids engaged throughout the day.
For kids with imagination and play
At Avani Pattaya Resort, family stays are defined by imagination and play. The resort’s themed family rooms feature adjoining twin bedrooms designed around concepts including underwater, galaxy, sweet dreams and car racing. While parents relax in a separate master bedroom, kids can immerse themselves in spaces created with their sense of fun and creativity in mind.
Curious adventurers
At Avani+ Koh Lanta Krabi Resort, curious adventurers can discover the resort’s resident hornbill couple, Gok and Gek, who nest within the grounds. Wildlife-inspired activities at AvaniKids invite children to create their own hornbill-themed crafts, followed by a special bedtime story reading of When Gok Met Gek, bringing the story of the much-loved pair into the guest experience.

For kids who love food
In the Maldives, Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort is built for kids who love food. Petit Bistro, a dedicated kids-only dining concept, gives young guests a space designed entirely around them, alongside hands-on cooking sessions. Families can also take part in a fishing trip that ends with the day’s catch prepared by the resort’s chefs, creating a shared island experience that goes beyond a traditional meal.
For creative kids
Creative kids are well catered for at Avani Seminyak Bali Resort, where culture and hands-on activities shape the stay. At the dedicated AvaniKids club, children can join Balinese dance sessions designed especially for young guests, offering an engaging introduction to local traditions. Interactive activities, including cookie-making sessions, add a playful and memorable dimension, while spacious apartment-style accommodation provides families with flexibility and comfort.
