Awaza (or Avaza) is a touristic zone in Turkmenistan. It is located at the east side of the Caspian Sea, 12 km west of Turkmenbashi city.

A travel report in the British Daily Telegraph criticized the project as "ill-conceived".[1] In contrast to this view, Turkmenistan's foreign ministry announced that Awaza would be transformed into a "Turkmen Las Vegas".[2]

In May 2018, an industry conference was held in the resort, discussing the financing for the completion of the $8 billion natural gas TAPI pipeline.[3]
