Hotel description
Enter the serene world of the Banyan Tree in Phuket, where ancient oriental disciplines combine with warm Thai hospitality. The super-efficient service is friendly and unobtrusive; resort hosts cater for your every need from booking your spa treatments to arranging a round of golf. The setting is exotic: a tranquil hideaway bordered by the dazzling white beaches and the turquoise lagoon for which Phuket is famed. The tropical garden of the Banyan Tree Spa offers the perfect sanctuary to indulge and rejuvenate both mind and body. The spa has adopted a holistic approach to physical and spiritual wellbeing, drawing on traditional Asian techniques that have been passed down over the centuries, together with ancient aromatic oils and herbs and spices. The Treatment Menu is comprised of Thai and Balinese massages as well as a version of the European Swedish massage which stimulates and soothes. The Tamarind Restaurant serves delicious and nourishing spa cuisine in a partly covered outdoor setting that resembles a Japanese ornamental garden, with the tables positioned around a central pool. Mediterranean, Indian and Thai favourites are also served. The resort boasts a wide range of different restaurants offering a range of cooking styles and ambience. The Saffron serves an eclectic mix of Thai and south-east Asian gastronomy while the Watercourt offers a lavish American and Asian style buffet breakfast or Mediterranean cuisine in the evening. If you're staying in one of the Banyan Tree’s stunning villas with its own garden, pool or Jacuzzi, in-villa dining is a romantic experience not to be missed. Savour a champagne breakfast or enjoy an evening barbecue beneath the fragrant palms. The luxuriously-appointed villas are perched on the edge of the lagoon in lush tropical gardens and are decorated comfortably and stylishly using wicker furniture and honey-coloured wood. The thirteen Spa Pool Villas are equipped with their own private spa pavilion with sauna and steam room where treatments can be enjoyed in comfort and privacy. The Banyan Tree is ideal for both couples and families and offers excellent facilities and attentive service.
