G(IRL)s Getaways: Avani Celebrates the Rise of Women Travelling Together

In the run up to International Women’s Day on 8 March 2026, Avani Hotels & Resorts turns the spotlight on one of travel’s most defining shifts: women choosing to travel together, not as a niche, but as a new standard. From milestone birthdays and sister escapes to long-overdue reunions with friends, women travelling together is reshaping how trips are planned, experienced and remembered. Responding to this momentum, Avani introduces G(IRL)s Getaways, a curated collection of group-ready stays designed around space, ease and shared moments.  

Across Asia, the Indian Ocean and the Middle East, Avani’s multi-room villas, suites and residences are shaped for women travelling together, with the space to connect without sacrificing comfort, style or personal downtime. Generous living areas and flexible layouts make it easy to share the stay, while experiences designed to be enjoyed together set the tone, from wellness rituals and food-led moments to unhurried mornings by the pool. 

Room to Be Together 

At Avani+ Khao Lak Resort, friendship comes with breathing space. The 765-square-metre Two Bedroom Royal Beachfront Pool Villa offers an easy balance of togetherness and privacy, complete with a private pool, jacuzzi and expansive living areas. Days unfold at an unhurried pace, shaped by coconut-inspired spa rituals and beach walks along the Andaman coast. Guests can spend their time catching waves at Memories Beach or joining private Thai cooking classes, led by local chefs. Evenings shift naturally into cocktails and long conversations at the resort’s laidback Coco-Fire Beach Club, where the focus is on good company and easy moments rather than schedules.

Avani+ Fares Maldives is built for group escapes that feel elevated, yet easy. Set above a clear lagoon, the Three Bedroom Sunset Over Water Pool Residence pairs uninterrupted horizon views with generous shared living space, balanced by the privacy of separate bedrooms when it’s time to switch off. Days flow from AvaniSpa sessions to snorkelling over coral reefs in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, followed by private Adrift dinners on the sands. For guests staying in overwater villas, evenings begin with a signature ritual as Ambaa - a traditional Maldivian dhoni - glides across the lagoon to deliver handcrafted cocktails and mocktails direct to private decks.

Wellness, Calm and Culture  

In Thailand, Avani+ Hua Hin Resort places wellbeing at the heart of a girls’ getaway through AvaniWell, the brand’s first personalised wellbeing concept. Designed for women looking to reset together, AvaniWell moves beyond the traditional spa to offer wellness à la carte, from Traditional Thai Medicine consultations and physiotherapy to Reformer Pilates and science-led body composition scans. Days are shaped by salt-based therapies, IV vitamin drips, hammam rituals and coastal-inspired treatments, balanced with healthy dining across the resort’s restaurants and hands-on workshops focused on movement, nutrition and long-term wellbeing. The experience is anchored by spacious villa accommodation, including the 268-sqm Avani Two Bedroom Sea View Villa, complete with sunlit nooks and uninterrupted sea views. Paired with unhurried beachfront living, Avani+ Hua Hin offers a restorative escape where friends can focus on feeling better together.

 A Milestone Worth Marking 

For major milestones or long-awaited reunions, Avani elevates the experience with a private Mekong journey, pairing an exclusive charter aboard Bohème with time at Avani+ Luang Prabang. Groups can take over the elegant 50-metre river cruiser for a private sailing along the Mekong, where days are shaped by sacred cave visits, artisan villages and waterfall swims, balanced with spa rituals, riverbank yoga and candlelit dinners beneath the stars. With just 13 suites and a dedicated crew, Bohème offers the privacy and comfort of a floating private residence, making it an inspired choice for celebrating life’s defining moments. Top and tailed with a stay at Avani+ Luang Prabang, in UNESCO-listed Luang Prabang, the journey invites guests to slow down through temple visits, almsgiving rituals and shared wellness moments, creating an experience that feels reflective, meaningful and deeply personal. 

G(IRL)s in the City  

In Dubai, Avani+ Palm View Dubai Hotel & Suites brings the G(IRL)s Getaways concept to life through the hotel’s Superior Three Bedroom Sea View Apartment, the most spacious accommodation on property and an easy fit for friends travelling together. With three bedrooms, a generous living area, a fully equipped kitchen and a dedicated dining room, it gives groups the space to stay under one roof while keeping things effortless. Days move from breakfast at Seven Seeds and pool time at the hotel to beach walks at Palm West Beach, yacht spotting and waterfront strolls along Dubai Marina Walk, sunset abra rides through the marina canals or last-minute bookings across the area’s buzzy dining scene. Evenings bring everyone back together over Lebanese sharing plates at La Sirène, framed by views from Palm Jumeirah to Burj Al Arab and Ain Dubai, before drifting back to the spacious apartment for unhurried downtime. 

Built for the Way Women Travel Today 

Across the collection, well-connected destinations, spacious room categories and experiences designed to be shared keep planning seamless from the start. Whether the focus is wellness, culture or simply time together, G(IRL)s Getaways allows shared moments to take centre stage.
