ÀNI Private Resorts Thailand Est. 2016
Ani Villas Thailand Ko Yao Noi Phang-nga Thailand
Those who have visited any ÀNI Private Resort know that while the location, setting, and facilities of each are utterly exceptional, it is the staff that makes an ÀNI stay the heartfelt, superlative, unforgettable experience it is renowned to be. We are literally a family of rare hideaways, and our staff are the heart and soul of the ÀNI brand – each, without exception, a generous host dedicated to creating unscripted, magical memories for every guest.
Born in Jakarta, Our General Manager Andrew Gianfranco-Cotel moved to France at 18 and seriously considered a career in diplomacy before attending the Institut Vatel in Nimes to study International Hotel Management. His warm intuition and love of people, travel, and cuisine saw him excel with 14 years’ experience across luxury hotel brands in France, before he returned to Asia.
“Early on, I learned that five-star service can mean different things in different countries. Here, we combine the finest global standards with a uniquely Eastern touch that is sincere and peaceful, with gentle humility. My aim is to give our guests an experience that they cannot get anywhere else.”

- The Scene:
A family of rare hideaways waiting to be discovered, ÀNI offers exclusive retreats in the most beautiful and far-flung corners of the earth. From the Caribbean to Southeast Asia, each ÀNI destination is designed exclusively for a single group of guests, with generous hosts dedicated to creating unscripted experiences and magical memories. ÀNI’s destinations include Sri Lanka, the Dominican Republic, Anguilla, and Thailand, where on the unspoiled island of Koh Yao Noi, an entire, all-inclusive, private beach resort overlooks the turquoise waters and limestone pinnacles of Phang Nga Bay. Welcome to ÀNI Thailand.
- Design:
- Akin to a private estate, ÀNI offers every facility, amenity, and space a group of guests could possibly desire during their stay – and more. Designed to maximize the property’s breathtaking views of Phang Nga Bay, internal spaces feature glass walls or doors and flow seamlessly outward to embrace the verdant gardens, sparkling pool, and panoramic vistas beyond.The property offers direct access to the beach in front of the resort.
- Standout Venue Features:
DINING
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served each day in different settings across the resort, with every menu tailored according to guest preferences to surprise and delight. Free-flow beverages including juices and premium spirits, cocktails, and wines can be enjoyed whenever a guest desires, and afternoon tea is served daily with freshly baked cakes and sparkling wine. Daily snacks and treats include homemade sorbet and ice-cream, and the all-day beach and pool butler service ensures that refreshments are constantly at hand. A picnic in the sand dunes makes for an unforgettable off-property experience.
CULTURAL IMMERSION
The Kingdom of Thailand has a fascinating history and a rich culture, revealed through its distinctive cuisine, dance, art, and architecture. A stay at ÀNI Thailand offers immersive cultural experiences ranging from Thai and Asian cooking classes with the Executive Chef, to Batik painting and jasmine garland making. A traditional Thai dance performance takes place one evening, while fire jugglers put on a show another night. Instruction in Muay Thai Boxing, Thailand’s traditional martial art, is offered in the gym or landscaped grounds, and visits to the ÀNI Art Academies Thailand campus can be arranged at any time
OUTDOOR ADVENTURE & ENTERTAINMENT
Discovering all the island has to offer beyond the property is easy. Mountain bikes for adults and children are available, and guided cycling and walking tours can be arranged to suit different interests and fitness levels. Snorkeling equipment, stand-up paddleboards, and kayaks are provided for offshore exploration, and a sunset cruise on a traditional longtail boat is as romantic as it is photogenic – with drinks and canapés on offer, of course. As night falls, settle into a post-dinner, open-air movie projected onto a big screen beneath the moon and stars.
WELLNESS
ÀNI’s wellness philosophy is one of simple truth, that wellbeing stems not from striving, but through balance in all things: The stroll along the shoreline at dawn; ice-cream savored beside the sun-kissed pool; a heart-pumping workout with a personal trainer; the serenity of yoga and meditation; and therapeutic sundowners lounging with friends. Up to 10 spa treatments including Thai and aromatherapy massages are offered per day in the double spa treatment room with its private jacuzzi. Private Vinyasa, Hatha, and Yin yoga classes are held outdoors or in the rooftop meditation area, and personal training takes place in the 645 sq.ft (60 sq.m) air-conditioned gym, in the gardens, or on the beach.
YOUTH ENTERTAINMENT
ÀNI Thailand is the ultimate destination for an adults-only getaway or business retreat, but it is never more complete than when children’s laughter fills the air. A dream setting for a multigeneration family escape, the resort offers up to eight hours of complimentary babysitting a day, as well as a daily children’s activity program including treasure hunts, arts and crafts, kids’ cooking classes, and educational nature tours. The 25 ft (7.8 m) children’s pool is best entered via the twisting waterslide, and kids and adults alike love the large-format, inwater chess and backgammon situated at one end of the infinityedge, salt-water, main swimming pool (141 ft / 43 m). The games area offers a pool table and table tennis.
SEAMLESS LIVING

From the moment ÀNI guests touch down in Phuket or Krabi, the seamless living begins.
