Sustainable Eating With Avani

FOOD & FUN

Food is a part of who we are and what defines our identity and reflects local culture. With the ongoing climate change, select Avani properties in Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos are stepping up their commitment to support local communities by highlighting the region’s speciality produce and the need to rely less on imports. We have adopted zero-waste initiatives, including plans for on-site composting systems to process all organic waste and a permaculture organic garden to promote self-sufficiency.

90% Local Farm-to-Table at Avani+ Hua Hin Resort

Avani+ Hua Hin Resort's commitment to locally sourced produce extends to 90% of the ingredients used in the resort’s restaurants. The resort is working closely with Thai farmers and suppliers to source fresh, locally-grown ingredients to support the economy and reduce carbon footprint.

In addition, the hotel has partnered with local businesses in Thailand that run ethical and fully sustainable operations: a free-range chicken farm supplying organic eggs in biodegradable packaging; artisanal product manufacturers who use no artificial colours or flavourings; and a boutique organic vegetable farm supplying fresh herbs.

Plant-Based Goodness at Avani+ Samui Resort

Over at the idyllic island of Samui, Avani+ Samui Resort invites guests to the new wellness-centric KoKo plant-based café. Designed to improve personal wellness, KoKo offers a sustainable dining experience by reducing animal product consumption.

KoKo chefs use only plant-based ingredients from the property’s garden and a nearby coconut plantation, resulting in locally sourced dishes such as its cocoa bowl and beetroot sandwich. From healthy lunch bowls and mix-your-own salads to plant-based protein burgers and gluten-free and vegan cakes, KoKo provides the ultimate feel-good experience while maintaining a fully sustainable supply chain.

Adopting Happy Feet at Avani Pattaya Resort

Avani Pattaya Resort has pioneered the first hydroponic farm in the famous coastal town of Thailand, which supplies 40% of the hotel’s daily supply of fresh ingredients, with the remaining going to the Pattaya community. Today, the farm grows over 22,000 plants, including a wide range of salads and greens such as red oak, green oak, cos, rocket, microgreens, Swiss chard, and Chinese kale.

The resort’s hydroponic farm has recently adopted roam-free chickens, supplying fresh eggs for breakfast every day.

The team at the hotel have started efforts to phase out single-use plastic and has doubled down on sustainability initiatives by adding a compost site to reduce landfill waste and replacing single-use plastic bottles with refillable sealed containers for bathroom amenities.

A farm tour gives guests an insight into sourcing farm-to-table organic produce that forms the basis of local cuisine. Aspiring chefs can then join a cooking class and whip up a delicious meal to enjoy with friends and family or learn how to start their hydroponic farm at home.

Rooftop Freshness at Avani+ Luang Prabang

Overlooking a Buddhist temple dating back to 1548, the brand-new rooftop garden at Avani+ Luang Prabang Hotel in Laos boasts some of the best views of the UNESCO World Heritage town. Growing on its 140 square metres rooftop is a selection of organic fruit and vegetables such as banana, papaya, cherry tomatoes, and cabbage; herbs, including coriander and chilli.

The idea for the garden was inspired by Head Chef Waran’s childhood memories of his mother picking fresh vegetables for daily family meals. Guests are invited to learn how to plant and grow different types of produce, as well as to master the basics of Laotian cuisine.

Zero-Waste Cocktails at FCC Angkor by Avani

FCC Angkor by Avani’s Scribe Bar in Cambodia has introduced zero-waste cocktails where ingredients are reused, recycled, and upcycled to minimise waste. For example, the Colonial Fare cocktail features locally sourced pineapple as the main ingredient. The fruit is juiced for the cocktail, while the pulp is dried to reappear later as a garnish or an ingredient in another cocktail.

All organic waste is converted into compost and then used as fertiliser for the hotel’s garden which grows plants for the restaurant and bar such as lemongrass, pandan, and krasang teap (a key ingredient in beef lok lak, Cambodia’s national dish served at the property’s The Mansion restaurant).
