Honest review
If what you want on Phuket is your own villa by a lagoon rather than just a room, this is Banyan Tree's address. Start with the category: villas run from one bedroom with a private pool to two bedrooms and more; for a couple the base category is enough — it already comes with a private pool.
The design is traditional Thai with a modern lightness: plenty of natural light, large windows, and the seclusion people come here for.
When planning your days, keep at least one for the spa: it lives in an atmosphere of complete privacy, works with natural Thai products, and its three signature 150-minute programmes aim at exactly what people take holidays for — shedding stress and recovering.
The dining is varied: restaurants and bars with modern takes on traditional cuisine, and healthy food by the pool.
Who it suits: couples after romance, lovers of nature, and anyone who wants to explore Phuket, its heritage and culture from a quiet, beautiful base.
