On the tranquil shores of Phuket's Bang Tao Bay, the Banyan Tree Spa Sanctuary sits secluded and enshrined by delightful gardens. This boutique 14-villa resort is designed to provide a sanctuary for the senses, enlivening the soul and relaxing both the body and mind.
Managed exclusively by Spa, the Banyan Tree Spa Sanctuary caters to you - our discerning spa and wellness guests, by focusing holistically and embracing the five senses - sight, sound, touch, and smell. Infused with spa touch points, healthy cuisine, award-winning spa and wellness activities, you will embark on a journey of rejuvenation and wellness with experiences to indulge and soothe all senses.
The arrival experience begins as you are chauffeured through the dedicated resort entrance and are met upon arrival by your villa host. After an orientation highlighting the activities and benefits of the resort, you will be escorted directly to your private Spa Pool Villa. On arrival at the villa, a doorway leads through to your private sanctuary and providers a view across the gardens to the lagoon beyond. An awaiting therapist ushers you into the villa and pampers with a welcome foot ritual. Each luxurious villa includes a spacious living room complete with large daybed, writing desk, television and DVD stereo. A range of organic locally sourced snacks and fresh juices are provided in the minibar complemented by a choice of both herbal and floral teas.
A large bathroom provides you with double vanity washbasins, toilet, indoor and outdoor showers and bathtubs, a private steam room and his and hers dressing areas. Surrounded by pristine water, the bedroom sis central within the villa - an elegant 'floating' bed pavilion set amidst a tranquil lotus flowered pond; the king bed is draped in pure Thai silk and looks up on a canopy ceiling adorned with soft fabrics. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows provide an abundance of natural light with views across the water to the gardens beyond. The outdoor space comprises a private 3.5m by 11.5m pool, sun loungers, a dining area and a dedicated Thai Sala complete with spa beds for your private in-villa treatments.
Bespoke dining is provided to meet your individual requirements with in-villa spa breakfasts, lunches or dinners. In addition, a Thai High Tea is available at the Cha which is located at the Spa lounge. If you are looking to dine out, the restaurants and facilities of our sister resort Banyan Tree Phuket is only a short walk away.

Quite simply excellent. If I could say one thing it is that Egypt is the place to go right now, as there were virtually no tourists at some of the sights and that,I should think, is quite rare!
