Social Places to Hangout With Friends
Whether you’re a wallflower or the life of the party, Avani’s got an event you can crash. We’ve got boozy seaside wine nights, laidback beachfront beats, sleek Art Deco bars, and trendy rooftops aplenty. Get ready to wine up in Thailand or wind down in Windhoek — we’re going on a worldwide Avani bar crawl.
Barbarons Beach, Seychelles
Our first stop is Gravity, the beachfront bar at Avani Barbarons Seychelles Resort. Overlooking a bay of purest blue, it’s got an open-air deck for the full sunset experience. Pull up a beanbag, sip on a Salty Beer, and relax to ambient beats from the DJ. Once darkness falls, sidle up to the bar for a signature Gravity Blue… or opt for a booze-free mango colada and drink in the chic Seychelles vibe.
Bangkok, Thailand
Swap the sea for the city in Bangkok, where SEEN Restaurant & Bar Bangkok at Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel brings swanky cuisine and cocktails to the 26th and 27th floors. You’ll want to wear your Sunday best here, where well-heeled Bangkokians sip complex drinks in dimly lit Art Deco spaces. Sink into a daybed with your boo as sunset tinges the river pink. Or shake your moneymaker at one of SEEN’s DJ events, with special guests every month.
Hua Hin, Thailand
Next, we’re off to the Gulf of Thailand, where Avani+ Hua Hin Resort keeps free-flow wine aficionados topped up on tropical shores. Wednesday soiree, Wine Me Up, celebrates the midweek hump with limitless glasses of red, white, and sparkling. Enjoy gourmet bites from various culinary stations and nibble on artisan charcuterie as you gaze upon glittering shores. Cheers! Or "chon gaew!" if you’re using the local lingo.
Windhoek, Namibia
Fancy a rooftop rendezvous? Stratos Restaurant and Bar on the 15th floor of Avani Windhoek Hotel & Casino, is shaping up as one of Windhoek’s preferred party places. Dine on modern international cuisine and sip fine French wines with your pinky out as you bask in downtown views. Or try something with a stronger kick — the Hakuna Matata cocktail will have you saying "no worries" in no time.
Lisbon, Portugal
Our last stop is Sky Bar by SEEN, perched atop Avani Avenida Liberdade Lisbon Hotel. Open for Europe’s warmer months, it’s the summer spot for cocktails with views. Survey the city with an icy concoction. Pose casually against stunning sunset panoramas. Then when night falls, check out what’s happening on Avenida da Liberdade. Perhaps make your way to SEEN Lisboa, conveniently located at Tivoli, right next door.
