Wrap up your year somewhere warm with Avani

While half the world bundles up and braces for the long, grey stretch between November and January, we say: absolutely not. Somewhere out there, the sun is still shining. Warm days still exist. Cocktails still taste better by the beach. So follow the sunshine to these Avani-approved destinations.

Barbarons, Seychelles – Endless blue

Expect warm breezes, cinematic sunsets and water so clear the abundant marine life looks like it’s within touching distance. At the newly renovated Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles, lazy beach days blend into fresh Creole feasts, ocean-view lounging and strolls along powder-soft shores. Snorkel, snooze, repeat – then take your pick from a packed schedule of tropical festivities that keep the island spirit going well into the night.

Koh Samui, Thailand – Your ultimate holiday getaway

A winter break in Koh Samui? Yes please! Avani Chaweng Samui Hotel & Beach Club brings retro-cool energy to Thailand’s brightest beach town – think bold designs, buzzy beats and the island’s best people-watching right outside your door. Spend your days beach-hopping, cruising for hidden coves or exploring the island’s café scene. As the sun dips, the vibe shifts to cocktails under the stars, poolside parties and effortless holiday fun. This is what winter escapes are really about.

Seminyak, Bali – Sun, style and beachfront bliss

Whether your feet are loose in the sand or on the dancefloor, Avani Seminyak Bali Resort is a blissful island retreat.
