Christmas and New Year's at ÀNI Thailand

Between Phuket and Krabi, on the silky sands of a paradise island, ÀNI Thailand welcomes guests to the heart of Phang Nga Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of outstanding natural beauty. The resort accommodates groups of up to 20 for festive celebrations, with all ages catered for.

December and January are wonderful months to visit Thailand, promising warm days and unlimited outdoor adventures. Visitors will bring a unique spirit to Christmas in this deeply spiritual country, which loves to celebrate the occasion with light, food, festivities, and parties, despite it not being an official holiday. New Year's Eve here is equally special, featuring fireworks, beachfront celebrations, and delicious dining.

Spend Christmas at ÀNI Thailand, uncovering the unique magic of the Land of Smiles. ÀNI will craft the perfect festive itinerary, encompassing unforgettable celebrations, on-and-off-resort activities for all ages, meaningful adults-only time, cultural excursions, water sports and destination dining.

Days can be spent relaxing by the resort's infinity pool with butler service or whooshing down the water slide, enjoying spa treatments, or venturing onto ÀNI's direct-access beach for paddle boarding and canoeing. New skills can be found, learning Batik painting with local ladies, or cooking delicious Thai treats with the resort's Executive Chef. Beyond the resort, guests can explore local rubber plantations and the tiny village of Koh Yao Noi or go adventuring across the island with side-car motorbikes and enjoy a day trip to Batang Island.

Christmas and New Year's at ANI Sri Lanka

Embraced by verdant jungle on an idyllic, palm-fringed beach, ÀNI Sri Lanka welcomes guests to the island's pristine south coast and offers panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. Between the market towns of Dickwella to the east and Tallala to the west, just an hour's drive from UNESCO-protected Galle Fort and two hours from a clutch of national parks including Yala and Bundala, ÀNI Sri Lanka is perfectly placed for exploring the south coast's natural, cultural, and historic treasures. The resort welcomes up to 30 guests of all ages, with a dedicated team of 30 to take care of their every need.

Christmas is one of the Sri Lanka's most celebrated festivals, marked by special feasts, delicious cakes and sweet treats, Christmas markets and more. Paradise beaches and molten-gold sunsets are your backdrop for festivities, the local waves offer rewards for surfers of all levels, and December and January are some of the best months for whale-watching in nearby Mirissa.

New Year's Eve is also a hit here, with incredible parties featuring DJs, fire dancers, fireworks, bonfires, floating lanterns, sparklers and more. Let ÀNI Sri Lanka on the sun-kissed south coast be your hub for celebrations.

Days can be spent relaxing by the resort's two infinity pools with butler service, enjoying spa treatments, playing cricket tournaments with the staff, exploring local beaches and Buddhist temples, or simply walking along the deserted beach below the property. Early evening, gather for shuffleboard sessions with drinks, and special dinners with optional Sri Lankan attire, followed by outdoor movie nights and beach walks under the full moon to spy sea turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs in the warm sand.
