Located a brief flight away from Kuala Lumpur, Phuket is a popular short getaway for Malaysians seeking leisure, adventure and cultural richness. When planning your next trip there, redefine your retreat with a picture-perfect stay at Banyan Tree Phuket in Bang Tao Bay, an oasis nestled around a lagoon and surrounded by tropical gardens, coconut groves and pristine white-sand beaches.
You may find yourself reluctant to leave your room, one of 218 private pool villas designed as Thai-style pagodas around a lush landscaped garden, featuring an inviting pool and sundeck. Inside, you’ll find a generously sized bedroom, spacious interiors adorned with stylish and artistic furnishings, and a luxurious bathroom complete with ‘his and hers’ dressing spaces—hallmarks of every villa at Banyan Tree Phuket. All guests staying in a Double Pool Villa will be welcomed with a special ceremony inspired by local traditions into a 2,500sqm accommodation boasting a private 15m infinity pool, an entertainment room, living room, kitchenette, and a Thai Sala outdoor area where you can enjoy leisurely afternoons or practice yoga or meditation. The villa’s master bedroom also features a romantic wrap-around pool that is perfect to enjoy a floating breakfast.
Choose complete tranquillity or make every day an adventure at Banyan Tree Phuket. Explore 30 acres of lush tropical jungle and meet Thailand’s national animal at Phuket Elephant Sanctuary, or hop on a tuk-tuk ride to savour exciting flavours at the local market. You can also work off the holiday kilograms by biking around the resort or around the Laguna Phuket.
Gastronomic Pleasure & Blissful Rejuvenation
Thai cuisine is an endearing favourite for gastronomes, and the dining options at the resort, which merge unique locations, creative presentations and mouthwatering menus, are well worth a visit on their own. Start your day by dining at The Watercourt, where you can sample tropical fruits and local dim sum on the outdoor decks situated on the lagoon. At nightfall, indulge in an intimate romantic dinner for two or a lavish spread for the whole family with the In-Villa BBQ, prepared by expert chefs and delivered to your villa’s doorstep. Otherwise, for an unparalleled culinary journey, quite literally, hop on the Mekhala for a sunset dinner cruise as you float down the tranquil waters of the lagoon.
A trip to Thailand wouldn’t be complete without a massage, and Banyan Tree Spa is renowned for being the first luxury spa in Asia to introduce an exotic blend of ancient health and beauty practices passed down for centuries. Discover unconventional treatments such as Weightless Therapy, where body stretch and massage techniques are performed while floating on water, or the Plant-infused Restorative Journey, which incorporates Palo Santo—known as a sacred South American wood—with sounds, scents and vibrations. Naturally, there are also traditional experiences such as full-body massages, body conditioners and facials.
With morning dips in your private pool, scenic splendour of the Andaman Sea, a focus on wellness, and authentic local experiences, Banyan Tree Phuket promises a full recharge of the body and the mind.
Banyan Tree Phuket is offering a limited-time package that includes daily breakfast at The Watercourt for two, a 60-minute massage for two once during the stay, a Private In-Villa BBQ experience once during the stay, and select complimentary resort activities that include wellbeing and recreational activities.
This offer is valid for bookings and stays from now until 15 December 2025 only; applicable on bookings of all villa types; and available only when booking for three or more nights. Other terms and conditions apply.
