Long stretches of sandy beach hug lush jungle-covered mountains, making this one of the most beautiful natural areas we have seen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The one-hour drive from Phuket International Airport is a scenic transfer from the crazy city Thai life we know and love to a far more tranquil, slower pace in Phang Nga.\u00a0 We arrive, suitably decompressed, in a beautiful contemporary resort for modern couples and large wedding groups, the Avani+ Khao Lak.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11026603\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled9-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11026603\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled9-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Big and Beautiful Weddings<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We often hear couples tell us that their dream of a wedding in Thailand is compromised by the fact they can only invite a select few friends and family. Many hotels can only host up to a certain number of guests which is perfect for those wanting an intimate ceremony, but what if you want to \u2018go large\u2019 as it were? The answer is here because the one thing they have in abundance in Phang Nga, specifically the Avani+, is space.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11026604\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11026604\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Royal Beachfront Pool Villa<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are thinking that large resorts are not your thing, I want to quickly add here that the Avani+ is cleverly designed to feel smaller than it actually is with suite accommodation scattered amongst tropical gardens and the main hotel nestled amongst towering palms. A fleet of cheekily designed golf buggies are at your beck and call should you need but we loved meandering around the little paths which eventually take you to the hotel\u2019s own stretch of sandy beach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11026605\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled2-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11026605\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled2-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Two Bedroom Family Pool Suite<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Couples with an extensive guest list can happily invite their entire wedding party to stay together in the same resort, whether in one of the hotel rooms with balcony views or the stunning multi-bedroom suites with their own private pools. The Royal Beachfront Pool Villa, with its LA cabana-style vibes, is the perfect sanctuary and love nest for newlyweds who can drift from villa to beach to beach bar and beach house in just a few steps.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beach Wedding Party<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talking of Beach House, this cool modernist restaurant and beach bar beckons a magical reception under the stars. Flanked by towering tropical palms and on a lush green lawn, this is where lychee cocktails are sipped, heels are kicked off, and bare feet dance in the sand.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11026606\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled3-576x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" width=\"773\" height=\"1374\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11026606\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled3-576x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" width=\"773\" height=\"1374\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The <a title=\"Beach House Maldives Re-Invents The Resort Cookery Class\" href=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/luxury-hen-cookery-classes\/\">Beach House<\/a> Restaurant<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hindu and Indian Weddings<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Avani+ is also an excellent venue for Hindu or <a title=\"Stunning Indian Wedding in Costa Rica\" href=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/stunning-indian-wedding-in-costa-rica\/\">Indian weddings<\/a>. The hotel\u2019s personal wedding planner will work with you to create a magnificent three-day affair of traditional celebration and colour. Everything from a private Pooja party to a tropical garden Mehendi and a lavish sangeet can be organised to your specification. If you\u2019d rather take your <a title=\"Wedding Celebrations at The Cadogan Arms\" href=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wedding-celebrations-cadogan-arms-kings-road\/\">wedding celebrations<\/a> indoors, then the extravagant ballroom can be transformed into something truly opulent for up to 600 guests.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11026607\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11026607\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Offerings of Health and Happiness<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During our stay, this wondrous \u2018space\u2019 at Avani+ was proving not only to be advantageous for big weddings but also our very own well-being. We were finally \u2018breathing\u2019 and relaxing, slowly detaching from the usual claustrophobic confines of our city life back home. As we sipped on coconuts by the long windswept beach, we considered how very \u2018well\u2019 everything in this resort was making us feel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is evident that Avani+ are strong advocates for health as the resort is brimming with well-being options for guests, whether they\u2019re maintaining a fitness routine or wanting to try something out for the first time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11026608\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled5-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11026608\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled5-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to clock up my cocktail drinking credits for the evening, I found myself venturing up, climbing walls and partaking in daily Muay Thai sessions &#8211; neither of which I\u2019d ever done before but both of which I found surprisingly satisfying.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, my other half was running the stretch of Khao Lak beach before jumping into the sea for a well-earned cooldown. This sort of fitness didn\u2019t feel like hard work at all. To make the whole experience even easier, there was an entire breakfast station dedicated to fresh juice concoctions and sugar-free bowls of quinoa cereal, all delicious, I might add.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Massage Not to be Missed<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, it\u2019s not all get up and go. There is a wondrous little corner of Avani+ where the magic happens. As I take my newly energised body up to the spa, I can feel the senses switch to \u2018relax\u2019 with fragrances of frangipani and sweet almond emanating from this little retreat. I sip on orange, and ginger tea before my \u2018signature massage\u2019 &#8211; a dreamy combination of Thai and oil massage moves were kneading, pushing, pulling, pummelling, knuckling and elbowing, leaving no stone unturned.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the most tightly locked spine (such as mine) was released from its achy confines. This is not a massage where you\u2019ll leave wishing they\u2019d just got \u2018that bit\u2019. My therapist, Tra, confirmed what I\u2019ve always thought, and that is that Thai hands were created to massage. Strong, slender and able to manipulate every nook and cranny.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11026609\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-28-at-11.08.33.png\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" width=\"769\" height=\"989\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11026609\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-28-at-11.08.33.png\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" width=\"769\" height=\"989\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Romance and Adventure in the Jungle<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having been re-energised and relaxed in equal measure, we felt more than ready to take on some of Khao Lak\u2019s local adventures. With the Lam Ru National Park on our doorstep, we set off for what we now realise was one of our favourite days out in Thailand.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An early morning start floating down the Lam Ru Yai river on a bamboo raft, guided by an experienced local, couldn\u2019t be further away from the sparkle and glamour of a wedding day. Still, this small expedition ignited a different sort of spark within, and we found ourselves savouring this moment of true detachment from modern life and all its noise.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11026610\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled7-576x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" width=\"768\" height=\"1365\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11026610\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled7-576x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" width=\"768\" height=\"1365\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the depths of the jungle to the most fantastic little surf spot on Pakarang Beach and possibly my favourite local in Thailand, Memories Beach Bar. Miles of white sandy beach, scattered with driftwood and purple seashells, is where you\u2019ll find this beach shack restaurant and surf school.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The food is incredible, and as we sit down with ice-cold Changs, the air peppered with galangal and chillies, I knew we were in for an authentic Thai treat. The chef, Mrs Oan and her assistants create both Thai and international cuisine, all served on the beach in wooden salas, amidst a collection of surf-vibe paraphernalia.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11026611\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled8-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11026611\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled8-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing to get married somewhere like the Avani+ Khao Lak offers much more than just a wedding. Large families can easily spend quality time together in one place, big wedding plans can be fulfilled, and when the wedding is over there is still more fun and adventure to be had in Khao Lak\u2019s stunning natural playground. This is a wedding experience like no other.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our 5 Star Highlights:<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>The big and beautiful spaces <a title=\"Theme: Outside Inside\" href=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/theme-outside-inside\/\">inside and outside<\/a>, catering up to 600 guests<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>The deep turquoise swimming pool is surrounded by towering Palms and overlooks the beach<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Evening dinners and cocktails on the lawn outside the beach house, on beanbags under the stars<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>The location is a more tranquil side of Thailand.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019d like to find out more about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.avanihotels.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.avanihotels.com\/<\/a> \u00a0Honeymoons, you can visit\u00a0here<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To read visit our Hotel Review on\u00a0Anantara\u00a0Layan Phuket Resort, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/hotel-review-anantara-layan-phuket-resort\/\">here<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Written by Abbie Ting<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"lets-review-block__wrap lets-review-block__wrap-10 lr-cf lets-review-wrap-11026547 lets-review--center lets-review-skin-1 lets-review-design-6 lets-review-ani-3 lets-review-score-type-3 lets-review-type-2 lets-review-score-type__icon conclusion__off proscons__off\" data-design=\"6\" data-score-type=\"3\" data-skin=\"1\"><div class=\"lets-review-block lets-review-block__img\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Untitled4-1024x683-1-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><div class=\"lets-review-block lets-review-block__main-title lr-vc lets-review-block__pad\"><div class=\"lets-review-block__title lr-font-h\" style=\"\">Hotel Review: Avani+ Khao Lak Thailand<\/div><\/div><div class=\"lets-review-block lets-review-block__final-score lets-review-block__final-score-type-3 lets-review-block__pad score-level-10\"><div class=\"score__wrap lr-all-c\" style=\"background:#801414;
