Spa & wellness

Banyan Tree resorts are renowned around the world for their beautiful and extensive spas and it is no different at this, the company's flagship property. When the spa opened in 1994 the focus on holistic therapies and Asian therapies was a new concept. Today many spas their treatments on the Banyan Tree's emphasis on spiritual, mental and physical harmony. The standard of service here is that that sets the tone for Banyan Tree resorts around the world - each and every therapist attends the prestigious Banyan Tree Spa Academy Phuket or the second academy in Bintan. There is a wide range of services on offer here including traditional Thai healing treatments inspired by those therapies that have been handed down through the generations; and time-honoured Ayurveda signature treatments. Alongside the popular treatments such as facials, body scrubs and massages there's a yoga schedule starting with sunrise Yoga and ending with sunset meditation.
