Banyan Tree Phuket – Luxury, Nature, and Complete Escape

As part of my recent Thailand trip, I was lucky enough to spend a night at the Banyan Tree Phuket, and even in such a short stay, I could instantly see why this resort has such an incredible reputation. Set within the exclusive Laguna Phuket complex, this stunning resort is a true sanctuary of peace and privacy, perfect for couples, honeymooners, wellness seekers, or anyone craving a blend of nature and five-star luxury.

The property is made up entirely of luxurious all-pool villas, each thoughtfully spaced out around serene lagoons and lush tropical gardens. Whether you’re floating in your private pool with breakfast or enjoying sunset drinks on your terrace, the sense of tranquillity here is unmatched. The resort feels beautifully secluded, yet it’s just a short walk or bike ride from local shops, beach clubs, and other hotels within the Laguna area and thanks to the free shuttle, everything is super easy to get to.

Space, Service & Something for Everyone

Banyan Tree Phuket is one of the flagship properties of the Banyan Tree brand, known for its focus on wellbeing, sustainability, and authentic experiences. The villas come in a variety of sizes and layouts, making them ideal for both couples and families, and there are options for Bed & Breakfast, Half Board (lunch or dinner), or Full Board, so it can be tailored to suit the style of your holiday.

With 8 restaurants on-site, there’s something to satisfy every palate, from authentic Thai flavours to Japanese, Mediterranean and international cuisine. One of the perks of staying in the Laguna area is that you can dine around at neighbouring resorts, and charge everything back to your room, perfect for variety without the hassle.

There’s also a gorgeous spa, free bike hire, tennis courts, a championship golf course, and even Thai cooking classes for those who want to dive deeper into the culture. Wellness programmes, yoga sessions, and a peaceful lagoon setting create the perfect environment to reset and recharge.

Travelling with little ones? The Kids’ Club is fantastic, offering fun activities in a safe and nurturing space while you enjoy a little downtime.

Celebrating Something Special?

This is the kind of resort that’s designed to make special moments unforgettable. One of the highlights is their floating breakfast, yes, quite literally breakfast served in your private pool! It’s such a unique experience and the perfect way to mark a honeymoon, birthday, or just make the most of your holiday. The hotel also offers private in-villa dining, sunset cruises, and romantic beach dinners, all personalised to your preferences.

Ideal for a Multi-Centre Itinerary

Banyan Tree Phuket works brilliantly as part of a Thailand multi-centre trip. It’s a true all-rounder, giving you the space, privacy, and five-star service of a luxury retreat, with the convenience of easy access to the wider island. Whether you want to unwind, explore, or do a bit of both, this resort delivers a seamless, high-end experience.

Even with just one night, I could see what makes this place so special and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it for your next Thai adventure.
