Cycle tours, treasure hunts, cooking classes, and arts and crafts are just some of the activities that will keep your children busy and fulfilled from sunrise to sunset.

There is a Zen story where a student asked a Zen Master, “What is Zen”? The master replied, “awareness”. The student was confused and asked, “Can you elaborate”? And the Master replied, “awareness, awareness”. In frustration, the student screamed, “What does awareness, awareness mean”? The master calmly replied, “awareness, awareness means awareness”. Ani Resort is a place where you will open your mind to everything about you, the crystal water, the fresh, natural air, the tropical plants, the serenity, the goodwill of the people around you, and it is here that you will be at one with everything, in relaxed, complete, and open awareness.
You will experience a genuine realization of balance and harmony with your natural surroundings, creating something we all seek, a Zen-like calm.

LOCATION:
Koh Yao Noi is a serene island located on the edge of Phang Nga Bay, easily reached by either longtail or speed boat from Phuket and Krabi, both of which have airports. This island paradise is an eco-minded and relaxing destination with far less tourism than its’ neighboring islands. Koh Yao Noi caters more to a higher-end and sporty crowd and has managed to maintain a rare peaceful elegance. This is mainly due to the warm and genuine locals who are doing everything they can to prevent their beloved island home from turning into yet another party island.

Koh Yao Noi has wonderful beaches, and the crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming, never too hot or too cold. Here is a genuine hideaway island and a well-kept secret that you’ll find difficult to want to share. Unlike many other hotspots in Thailand, you’re more likely to fall asleep to the sound of crickets or the water lapping on the shore than the thumping of a bass. Beaches are quiet, and your peace will never be interrupted by the noise of passing speedboats or beach touts. It really is a mystical place, and it’s a real privilege to experience it even once in a lifetime.

You can also take a look at the beautiful oceanfront ÀNI Dominican Republic and the beautiful ÀNI Anguilla.
