Banyan Tree Phuket

Frommer's Review

Banyan Tree is possibly Phuket's most famous hideaway for honeymooners, sports stars, and high society. Private villas with walled courtyards, many with private pools or Jacuzzis, are spacious and grand, and lavishly styled in teakwood with outdoor bathtubs. The main pool is truly impressive -- a free-form lagoon, landscaped with greenery and rock formations -- with a flowing water canal. A small village in itself, the spa provides a wide range of beauty and health treatments in luxurious rooms -- you can request a private massage in your room or in outdoor pavilions. The resort can arrange barbecues at your villa, or you can dine at the Tamarind Restaurant, which serves delicious, light, and authentic health food. There's even an international golf course on-site and private tour office. The Banyan Tree garners many international awards, especially for its Green Initiative and eco-friendly stance. In high season, peak surcharges apply.

Facilities: 6 restaurants; lounge; outdoor pool; golf course; 3 outdoor lit tennis courts; fitness center; spa; watersports equipment; tour desk; car-rental desk; airport transfer; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning.
