A Commitment to Legacy

True luxury has always been about more than mere opulence. The flagship Banyan Tree Phuket was built on a rehabilitated tin mine land, pioneering sustainable hospitality in the nineties. Paying homage to its founding ethos of 'Embracing the Environment, Empowering People' and foundations of regenerative tourism, Banyan Group will be pledging a milestone commitment to the local Phuket community as part of its 30th anniversary celebrations.

Starting in November, the Group is also pledging USD$1 for for every direct booking to the initiative 'Rewilding Banyan', which aims to restore natural habitats in the areas it operates through pocket forests that enhance biodiversity, combat climate change, and support the wellbeing of local communities.

The Essence of Luxury Travel

"For thirty years, we have created sanctuaries for those who understand that true luxury is found in moments of genuine connection," reflects Eddy See, CEO of Banyan Group. "Whether it's a private dinner under the stars, a wellness journey in our award-winning spas, or simply the perfect morning coffee in your villa, every experience is crafted to remind our guests of travel's transformative power."

As Banyan Tree celebrates this milestone, it continues to offer what the sophisticated traveler seeks most: not just luxury, but the space and time to rediscover life's most precious moments. In an age where true luxury is increasingly defined by authenticity and meaningful experiences, Banyan Tree stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of refined, thoughtful hospitality.

For the discerning traveler seeking to be part of this extraordinary celebration, Banyan Tree's collection of 30th anniversary experiences is available at select properties through December 31, 2024.
