Banyan Tree Resort

Banyan Tree’s idyllic Samui outpost sits on a secluded cove on Koh Samui’s south-east coast, overlooking the sparking azure waters of the Gulf of Thailand.  Surrounded rocky headland swathed in lush jungle and sitting on a pristine beach of sugary white sand, the Banyan Tree Samui is an all-suite hotel of sheer luxury.  All the suites have private pools – options include spa sanctuary pool villas, family ocean pool villas and hillcrest pool villas with superb views.  Perfectly sleek interiors, torch-lit suppers on the beach, phenomenally relaxing and hydrotherapy treatments in the luxurious Banyan Tree Rainforest spa and superb dining add up to everything you want from a Thailand holiday and an idyllic tropical escape.  Dining options range from traditional Thai, to relaxed beach barbeque or al-fresco a la carte international cuisine while enjoying beautiful views overlooking the bay.  The all-suite concept works well for families and the hotel boasts a welcoming kids’ club.
