Description
The Banyan Tree in Phuket is a luxury tropical resort set within a gorgeous National Park, with spacious private pool villas with a Thai influence, within a lagoon complex offering a vast choice of restaurants, activities and an award-winning spa.
The Banyan Tree Phuket was created as South East Asia’s first luxury garden spa resort, with villas tucked into a corner of Bang Tao Bay in the Laguna area of Phuket. This Laguna complex is home to a cluster of five luxury hotels, six palm fringed lagoons, 600 acres of parkland and three kilometers of pristine beach. The Banyan Tree Phuket is built around the Laguna and guests can take a small junk boat on a sunset cruise, or enjoy a private barbecue in their garden.
The spacious villas at The Banyan Tree are open plan in design, flooded with natural light and are all elegantly styled to reflect Thailand’s rich culture. A highlight is that they all have their own secluded garden with either a jet pool or private swimming pool.
The facilities here are exceptional, with a huge choice of restaurants and sporting, cultural and pampering activities. For those wanting privacy however, the Banyan Tree villas offer a retreat and the incredible in-villa dining options blow the concept of 'room service' out of the water. Also, due to the close proximity to other hotels in Laguna and local restaurants on the beach, your dining options are very variable!

Reviews
Katie Kennard (Staff)
If you are a banyan tree lover, you will love the villas in Phuket. They are vast. The lake in the middle of the resort is beautiful, not to mention the golf course and Spa. The only fault is the beach is very public. Although all beaches in Thailand are public, this beach is popular for locals and is a bit of a walk away from your room.
Clare Barratt (Staff)
Banyan Tree Phuket is a very big resort located in the Laguna area of Phuket, which is also home to many other big resorts. It feels very much like a village with individual villas dotted around the area accessed by buggies to save time with facilities also spread out through the resort. The villas are luxuriously appointed with lots of natural light and mod con furnishings and the facilities are extensive to cater from your food needs to your entertainment needs. Sadly the beach is probably the biggest let down here, it is located across the road and has a very public feel to it with only a small section put aside for Banyan Tree guests.
Evi-Elli La Valle (Staff)
The huge sprawling villa complex of the Banyan Tree is in the Laguna area of Phuket. This is one of the most developed areas of any Thai island with other hotels with an 18-hole golf course and a shopping village in close proximity. With its manicured gardens and modern buildings, you could be anywhere in the world and it definitely is not an authentic Thai experience, but it is overly luxurious and reminiscent of resorts in the Middle East or Mauritius.
