Nestled between a pristine private beach and orchard covered mountains, getaways feel even more refreshingly different at the newly refurbished AVANI Quy Nhon Resort & Spa, along Vietnam’s stunning south central coast.

Quy Nhon, which is located 280 kilometres north of Nha Trang and 320 kilometres south of Da Nang, is perfect if you’re looking for the very best idyllic beach life, fun in the water and time out on the resort’s private island, as well as the ease of mixing in trips to see exotic nature, bustling local life and famous historic sites. Making these unique appeals even more tempting, a spectacular renovation has revamped the entire resort so that guests have even more to look forward to.

The arrival lobby, restaurants and bars, and all guest rooms and suites have been refurbished to meet AVANI’s fresh contemporary image. New walkways and decking have been installed all around the resort and pool to the beach, plus the lush grounds have been beautifully landscaped.

The 63 Deluxe Rooms and Junior Suites, which offer a balcony or terrace with ocean views, have all been redesigned to offer an improved use of space and a host of modern comforts. 45 square metre Deluxe Rooms and 50 square metre Junior Suites all now feature an open bathroom with a rain shower and oversized glass bay window overlooking the beach and sea, a queen size bed or twin single beds made even more comfy with AVANI’s sleep satisfaction bedding, plus Wi-Fi and a high definition, 40 inch flat screen digital television with 80 international satellite channels. In addition, guests who book a Junior Suite can also relax with a cuppa and their favourite music thanks to a Nespresso coffee machine and Sony docking station.

Drinks and dining at AVANI Quy Nhon Resort & Spa is always a satisfying pleasure, and now leaves an even greater impression, since all of the culinary venues have been redesigned and upgraded with brand new features, furniture, lighting and kitchen facilities. Overlooking the ocean, TRE, the all day dining restaurant, has been enclosed for a touch of exclusivity and entertains diners with the exciting interactive element of live cooking stations. Relaxing at the beachside pool bar, GIO feels tasty and stylish with a new light dining and cocktail concept. While the tea shop TRA is the place to head to delight in a choice of 30 specialty teas.

Leisure facilities at the resort include a large fresh water swimming pool, a sand sundeck and a gym.  Making the most of the Vietnam’s oceanic playground, a range of water sports includes kayaking and snorkelling.  A revamped interactive games room is the place to hang out for guests who want to brush up on their ping pong and snooker skills, or play PS4 game consoles with friends.

AVANISPA offers four double treatment suites, as well as a Japanese dry sand and salt sauna, steam baths and outdoor showers.

Meeting and conference facilities include a multi-functional meeting room accommodating up to 105 guests, with natural daylight and overlooking the blue oceanic waters. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the resort.

AVANI Hotels & Resorts was launched in late 2011 in Sri Lanka as a refreshing upscale hotel concept, to consolidate the group’s presence in city and resort locations across Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Middle East and Africa. ‘AVANI’ stems from the Sanskrit word for ‘earth’ – a meaning which is expressed through a grounded personality and simple sense of style. AVANI properties offer relaxed comfort and contemporary style to guests who value the details that matter.
