The wellness service provider continues on its globalisation journey by bringing its success from the Land of Festivals to the Land of Smiles, with its first outpost in the Avani+ Hua Hin Resort. Here, VLCC implements a concept that’s flexible, and thereby a concept that’s appealing to hotel guests. During your stay at the resort, you can dip in and out of the wellness program as desired. So, whether you prefer to follow a strict wellness regime or incorporate selected treatments into your vacation, the program caters to your preferences accordingly. 

VLCC is located within the resort’s open-air lobby. The fully-equipped space consists of 11 treatment rooms: 8 spa treatment rooms, 1 Hammam treatment room, 1 IV therapy room, and 1 health consultation room.

At this first-ever Thailand branch, guests can choose from tailor-made programs designed to cater to individual needs and wants. All customisable programs embody and endorse a holistic approach. These programs appeal to the mind, the body, and the soul by coalescing several components: modern medical testing and diagnostics, Ayurveda therapies, tailored diets, and tailored fitness activities. Ranging from one-day retreats to fourteen-day retreats, VLCC at Avani+ Hua Hin Resort covers four main areas: integrated wellness; beauty and weight management; immunity; and detoxification.
