leave the kids at home
ADULT HOLIDAYS with ÀNI
Our four exclusive-use resorts welcome explorers of all ages – but we are brilliantly suited to adults-only holidays, too. Our raison d’etre is the power of togetherness – and sometimes this means leaving the kids at home for some well-deserved R&R. Perhaps you have a special date on the horizon to celebrate with lifelong friends, such as a 40th or 50th birthday, or maybe you require a supreme setting for your bachelor or bachelorette party? Blessed with wild beauty, beachfront locations and expert staff, our luxury resorts are the perfect backdrop for occasions of all persuasions.
When you book a stay with us, your entire holiday is included in our rates. ÀNI’s luxury inclusions encompass full-board dining courtesy of top-notch chefs, daily spa treatments, cocktails and canapés, non-motorised watersports, cultural experiences and the finest local entertainment, from traditional dance performances, to art sessions, cultural workshops and floral garland-making. To ensure the good times flow (along with the unlimited beverages), we’ll treat you to one beach barbecue and one sunset cruise per stay with drinks and canapés in Anguilla, the Dominican Republic and Thailand. For an additional cost, we can arrange a fleet of thrilling off-resort adventures, including scuba diving, surfing, whale watching, heritage tours and more.
ADULT HOLIDAYS IN THAILAND
At ÀNI Thailand, you could begin the day with an early morning Muay Thai Boxing class, learning the ‘Art of Eight Limbs’ under the tutelage of boxing champions. Enjoy breakfast at your favorite part of the resort, or let us whisk you and your friends away in sidecars to the Noodle Shop, a local paddy-field restaurant that brings natural magic to meals. Back at the resort, take the hint from the shimmering infinity pool and relax under the shade of sun umbrellas. Our Pool Butlers will keep you refreshed with iced lattes, cocktails and fresh tropical fruit (they’ll even clean your sunglasses). Other activities in store include batik lessons with local ladies, bike rides around the island and trips to ÀNI Art Academies Thailand. Return to the resort for Thai dance performances, fire-show displays and edible artistry from our chefs. Relax with sound-bowl therapy and trips to our spa, enjoying up to 10 complimentary daily treatments, including Thai and aromatherapy massages.
