Avani Pattaya Resort

If what you want is to dive right into the middle of Pattaya nightlife, this is a great way to do it. AVANI Pattaya Resort offers all the luxury and relaxation of a five-star resort, a mere 5-minute walk from BoyzTown and 15 minutes from Sunee Plaza. Your nights can be filled with some of Thailand’s most intense partying, while your days are spent chilling in an urban oasis.

Meanwhile, Pattaya beach is a stone’s throw away, and Dongtan beach can be reached by taxi in as little as 20 minutes. The hotel is also right next door to a large mall, Royal Garden Plaza, with plenty of food and shopping choices to explore.

AVANI has excellent facilities, including a huge 650msq pool and expansive lush tropical gardens. The gym has a very good selection of cardio and strength training equipment, and the Spa is outstanding. There’s a great selection of bars and restaurants, including a Benihana teppanyaki, a British-style pub, and a gorgeous open-air traditional Thai restaurant.

You can choose between a garden, pool, or sea view room, with the latter being particularly beautiful. All rooms have a private balcony from which to enjoy the view, plus amenities like a bathrobe, slippers, rain shower, and floor-to-ceiling windows.

In most rooms, the decor is simple and modern, in cool relaxing hues of beige and blue. Upgrade to the stunning Spa Villa (which comes complimentary massages and a private pool access terrace) or one the suites for a more upscale, elegant vibe inspired by traditional Thai aesthetics.
