Banyan Tree Phuket
Compare prices
The spa is the reason to book this one. Guests write paragraphs about individual therapists by name, and the treatments come up more often than the villas, the pools or the food. That tells you what kind of place this is: a resort built around slowing down, in the quieter northern stretch of Phuket near Cherngtalay, well away from the noise of the south.
Private pool villas are the signature. Spacious, properly maintained, and private enough that honeymooners and couples celebrating something make up a good chunk of the guest list. Breakfast gets consistent praise for variety and for the staff working it. Golfers are well placed, with Laguna Golf next door and a Banyan Tree cafe out at the course. There's a beach club, Rava, too. Plenty of people come back five, six times, which is about as strong a signal as you get.
If you want walkable nightlife and a busy beach strip, this isn't it. Book somewhere else and don't fight the location.

Reviews from Google
We had a wonderful stay at Banyan Tree Phuket. The resort is set in a lush and extremely peaceful environment, perfect for relaxing. Our private pool villa was spacious, very comfortable and perfectly maintained, with total privacy and high-quality bedding. The overall service was attentive, with friendly and professional staff throughout our stay. Breakfast was a real highlight — a huge variety of fresh products in a beautiful setting. For golfers, the location is ideal with Laguna Golf just next door. The course is superb, perfectly maintained and very easy to access from the hotel, which is a major advantage. The only downside is the absence of direct access to a private, fully serviced beach, which you might expect from a resort of this level. We also didn’t try the Rava Beach Club as the prices were quite high. Overall, a fantastic stay for golf, relaxation and tranquility
Incredible stay from the moment we arrived at Banyan Tree to the moment we left. We were celebrating our honeymoon and the staff went above and beyond. We stayed in a spa villa and JR made our stay absolutely perfect. He was so attentive and a true delight. My husband went golfing and Mai Lee was his caddy and he had the best time! The spa is also next level incredible. My massage with Venice was the best massage I’ve ever had! My only wish is that we had more time here to enjoy everything this resort has to offer. Thank you to everyone at Banyan Tree for making our honeymoon perfect!
We had a fantastic time at Banyan Tree. The spa was excellent: Janiya and P’Earn were amazing. P’Patcha for my wife’s pedicure. Staff at breakfast were brilliant every morning and couldn’t do enough. Rava beach club staff too - especially Arm and Milla. Piu at reception was very helpful and adjusted some things to make our first night so enjoyable. P’Kwang at Banyan Tree Cafe at the golf course treated us very well and creates a great atmosphere. Villa was perfect, property is amazing, breakfast outstanding and nothing ever felt crowded.

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive
