Waking up to ocean views, gentle breezes, and endless sunshine—it’s the kind of vacation we all dream about. Now imagine adding a dose of wellness to that already perfect escape. Enter Avani Hotels & Resorts, the upscale lifestyle brand of Minor Hotels, which has launched AvaniWell at Avani+ Hua Hin Resort in Thailand, their first-ever wellbeing clinic. This isn’t your typical spa getaway. At AvaniWell, you’re invited to redefine what wellness means to you, with expert guidance every step of the way. From Traditional Thai Medicine and Physiotherapy to Reformer Pilates and nutritious gourmet dining, AvaniWell offers wellness “à la carte,” tailored to spark healthy habits through serene staycations, weekend resets, and immersive wellbeing programs.
Where Tradition Meets Innovation
AvaniWell offers a personalised path to wellbeing through a choice of traditional and modern practices. The clinic offers a menu of treatments deeply rooted in Thai Traditional Medicine (TTM), an ancient healing system that blends spirituality with astrology and numerology. From the moment you sit down for your one-on-one assessment with their TTM experts, you’ll be guided towards treatments designed for you. Feeling bloated? The “Pao Ya Fire Rebalance” uses heated herbal bundles to get you feeling lighter. Tension taking over? Try a “Chae Ya Power Bath,” infused with medicinal herbs to soothe your skin and melt away stress.
There is also a focus on Salt Pot Healing, the unsung hero of TTM, which releases tension throughout the body using hot salt compresses and aromatic oils. You can also experience traditional Middle Eastern wellbeing practices at the dedicated hammam with a choice of massage and cleanse before sinking into deep relaxation on a heated marble bed.
Coastal Vibes, Modern Marvels
We can’t talk about Avani+ Hua Hin without mentioning its stunning seaside location. AvaniWell takes full advantage of this with treatments like the Salt Scrub Journey and the Seashell Symphony Massage—both designed to bring the ocean’s healing powers straight to you. And if you’re all about that glow-up, the JetPro x Renewal Complex 4 facials and ELEMIS facials will have your skin looking radiant, while semi-invasive aesthetic treatments offer next-level rejuvenation.
For those looking to boost their health from the inside out, the clinic’s IV menu is packed with options that support everything from anti-ageing to immune health. Whether you’re dealing with a hangover or just looking for a quick wellness top-up, their NAD+ drips and vitamin infusions, with in-room and express 20-minute options for a seamless wellness top-up, are tailored to your needs.
Wellness, Your Way
Beyond its luxurious treatments, AvaniWell really shines in its lifestyle approach to wellness. Their team of physiotherapists works wonders on those of us suffering from “Office Syndrome” (you know the drill—sore neck, tight shoulders from too much screen time). Meanwhile, accredited Pilates instructors lead private Reformer Pilates sessions, which are perfect for improving your posture and flexibility. And if you're someone who likes to know the science behind it all, their hospital-grade Body Composition Scans help you track your body fat and muscle mass percentages for tangible, results-driven progress.
Dining at Avani+ Hua Hin is also a wellness journey in itself. Whether you’re vegan, paleo, or gluten-free, their menus cater to every diet. If you’re interested in diving deeper into nutrition, their “Vitality in the Kitchen” workshops and “Cleanse & Boost” mixology classes offer fun, hands-on ways to create healthy habits for you (and even the kids). And for those on the go, The Pantry offers grab-and-go protein shakes, smoothies, and kombuchas, making it easy to stay nourished between dips in the pool or workouts at the AvaniFit gym.
“AvaniWell provides a stepping stone for those starting their wellness journey, taking the brand’s Millennial and Gen-Z audience from the familiarity of the spa to a more personalised and adventurous approach to wellbeing,” said Sandie Johannessen, Minor Hotels' Group Director of Spa and Wellness – Asia. “Whether guests come to us to rejuvenate, reset or heal, they will find the perfect blend of treatments that can be tailored to help them achieve what wellbeing means to them.”
