Bordered by the golden sands and gentle waves of the Andaman Sea, Banyan Tree Phuket is an oasis of peace and tranquility. This luxury hotel is strategically located 25 miles south of Phuket International Airport. A tropical paradise of extraordinary natural beauty, it has earned the honor of being voted the "World's Best Spa Resort" by readers of Conde Nast Traveler, the "Best Resort Hotel in Asia" by the Asian Wall Street Journal and CNBC Asia, "Asia's Top Vacation Resort" by Asiamoney, as well as having received an ISO 9002 certification.
Each of the beautifully appointed 123 villas boasts of exceptional amenities such as air conditioning, coffee/tea maker, complimentary coffee, direct dial telephone, hair dryer, in-room safe, mini bar, pay-per-view movies, cable TV, turn down service, voice mail and wake up service. With seemingly endless beaches of glistening white sand, abundant coconut groves and shimmering turquoise waters, the sun-drenched island of Phuket possesses all the qualities that spell indulgence and luxury. A well-trained staff warmly welcomes you to a "Land of Smiles" under the sheltering canopy of the Banyan Tree. The hotel is only minutes away from fine dining, shopping and entertainment venues.
