As privacy is pivotal in this resort, one can do anything without the worry of being watched, and so when one encounters a private pool at their place of residence, what does one do? One takes a dip for hours upon hours, for that perfect all-around tan.

If you browse Banyan Tree Phuket’s Instagram account, you would see a whole load of creative shots taken at this very spot.

What’s a holiday without a trip to the spa?

Before you leave, write a wish and hang it under the Banyan Tree outside the reception and lobby. At the end of the year, the resort team brings it to the temple to pray that all your wishes will be fulfilled. We highly suggest the wish, ‘to come back here with my loved ones again’.
