Avani Puts a “Paws” on Pet Fees as Dogs Stay Free for International Dog Day

Avani Hotels & Resorts is inviting guests to celebrate International Dog Day, which takes place on 26 August, with a getaway designed for the whole household. From beach breaks and heritage escapes to culture-filled city stays, Avani is inviting guests to bring their four-legged companions along for the journey.

From 23 to 30 August 2026, participating Avani hotels in Thailand, Laos and the Netherlands will welcome dogs with thoughtful in-room amenities, dedicated menus, outdoor spaces and easy access to local walks, while their owners settle into relaxed stays inspired by each destination.

Coast and Canine Comfort | Hua Hin, Thailand

A short drive from Bangkok, Avani+ Hua Hin Resort gives city dogs room to stretch their legs. The resort’s Doggie Getaway and Bark & Breakfast packages welcome dogs into selected pool villas and garden-access rooms, with a dedicated dog menu, walking routes and generous outdoor spaces.

Guests staying during the campaign period will also receive a complimentary box of Pawcarons from Kairos and Friends, featuring six dog-friendly flavours.

Art and Canal-Side Walks | Amsterdam, Netherlands

Avani Museum Quarter Amsterdam offers a city stay designed for guests who want to explore the Dutch capital with their dog by their side. The hotel is within walking distance of the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Museumplein, with Amsterdam’s canals and green spaces also within easy reach. After a day out, guests and their dogs can relax at The Pantry, the hotel’s all-day café, or on the courtyard terrace.

Heritage Streets and Riverside Strolls | Luang Prabang, Laos

Avani+ Luang Prabang Hotel offers a slower-paced escape in the centre of Laos’ UNESCO-listed former royal capital. The Luang Prabang Paw-Radise package includes a dedicated pet-friendly set-up, special towels and easy access to the hotel’s courtyard spaces. Beyond the hotel, guests can explore Luang Prabang’s heritage streets and the nearby Mekong riverside promenade before returning for relaxed outdoor dining.

Beach Days for the Whole Family | Khao Lak, Thailand

Avani+ Khao Lak Resort turns the family holiday into a whole-household escape, dogs included. Selected Two-Bedroom Family Suites and Pool Suites come with a treat pack, food and water bowls and toys on arrival.

City Breaks with Space to Roam | Khon Kaen, Thailand

Avani Khon Kaen Hotel & Convention Centre gives pet owners an easy base for a relaxed city break in Northeast Thailand.
