With their secluded, sprawling estates that are only available to one party at a time, attentive two-to-one staff-to-guest ratio, and indulgent inclusions; ÀNI Sri Lanka and ÀNI Thailand are among the most exclusive resorts in Southeast Asia. 

As the world's first private resort collection, the ÀNI Private Resort approach is unique. The brand's all-inclusive, luxury resorts are designed solely for a single group, from multi-generational family holidays to adult-only group vacations. Accommodating up to 20 or 30 guests across 10 to 15 suites, they personalise every little detail, treat guests like family, exceed expectations and create moments of surprise and delight.

Instead of merely checking into a hotel room, when you book with ÀNI, you are given your own exclusive estate, with expansive living, dining and entertainment areas positioned around sparkling swimming pools. And you won't share it with anyone other than your friends or family.

According to ÀNI Private Resorts spokesperson, Henny Frazer, “Whatever your version of paradise looks like, we will create it.”

“This could mean setting up a candlelit banquet under the stars to mark a special birthday, creating your dream wedding ceremony on the sun-kissed sand, enjoying open-air movie screenings by the shimmering waves, surprising you with alfresco feasts at secret locations across our resort, or taking you on immersive cultural tours so you can meet artisans, artists and other inspiring locals.”

A full complement of staff (between 20 and 30 per resort) tailors every detail – from dining and spa treatments to kids' activities and exploration of the region. Cuisine is a highlight: before you even arrive, ÀNI's expert chefs will be in touch to find out your favourite dishes and ingredients, so that they can personalise every menu throughout your stay. And their generous, all-inclusive rates, which include full board in Sri Lanka and Thailand, showcase each destination's finest flavours.

Located atop a bluff on a stretch of white sand beach near Dikwella, ÀNI Sri Lanka can arrange any possible experience along Sri Lanka's south coast and into the country's interior, making it a stunning base from which to explore the country's vibrant culture.

“In addition to our comprehensive list of inclusions – which comprises up to 10 complementary massages per day, movies by moonlight, and guided cycling tours – the resort can whisk you upcountry to verdant tea estates and the Cultural Triangle via private helicopter tour. We can help you cruise the coastline on a private catamaran, spotting blue whales and dolphins in season. If you'd like to visit Galle Fort or hike through the Sinharaja Rainforest – both UNESCO World Heritage Sites – local guides are available. From learning the art of pottery to witnessing leopards in their natural habitat in Yala National Park, experiences ripe with wonder and awe await,” said Henny.

Meanwhile, between Phuket and Krabi on the sunrise sands of a paradise island, ÀNI Thailand welcomes you to the heart of Phang Nga Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of outstanding natural beauty.

“Luxury inclusions range from a Batang Island Picnic via long-tail boat and a visit to Monkey Island to private Muay Thai kickboxing, Vinyasa, Hatha, and Yin yoga classes,” Henny explained. “For guests looking to explore further afield, island-hopping and snorkelling cruises by longtail boat reveal the sheer wonder of this World Heritage Site above and below the water. Private yacht cruises can explore the Phi Phi Islands and Thalene Bay. Scuba diving and rock climbing provide plenty of adrenalin-fuelled fun, while visits to Phuket's Ethical Elephant Sanctuary are easily arranged.”

ÀNI Private Resorts occupy remote, astonishingly beautiful locations, offering the ultimate in privacy, seclusion, and natural wonder. They create the kind of unscripted, priceless encounters that showcase the uniqueness of beachfront destination, while at the same time reconnecting people with nature and each other, forging memories that will last a lifetime.
