Located south of Bangkok in the "Land of Smiles," the picturesque island of Koh Samui is home to some of the world's most beautiful beaches, temperate rainforests, and stunning shorelines. With the addition of Banyan Tree Samui, Koh Samui is now home to the "Best New Beach Resort Hotel" as named by the elite Condé Nast Traveller Hot List 2011. The resort's breathtaking exterior rises above the shimmering Gulf of Thailand amidst cascading treetop terraces on an isolated hill cove. Banyan Tree Samui boasts an all villa-resort; each generously proportioned living space impressively combines aspects of traditional Thai-style architecture with modern planning and design, such as the steep, raised rooftops, striking floor-to-ceiling windows, and its own elevated, private pool. The beautiful, expansive grounds are surrounded by the lush, aromatic foliage of the region, making it the picture perfect backdrop for every celebration of life: birthdays, weddings, romantic getaways, and everything in between.

We have had the most wonderful stay at this resort. Our room, G08, was beautiful and our own private, romantic oasis! We travel often and stayed at many beautiful hotels and this rated at the top. So unique, lush and beautiful. Villas are kept immaculately clean and every request is attended to. Service in all departments was incredible… from our host, Beauty, to housekeeping, restaurant staff, buggy transports, groundskeepers and managers! Everyone is accommodating, kind and welcoming! We also enjoyed an amazing classic thai couples massage from Massy and Nee. Thank you to everyone for making our getaway perfect in every way!

Really the most incredible experience ever! Hotel was gorgeous and the staff was beyond attentive and anticipated everything we needed before we knew we needed it. Treatments at the spa were delightful. Food at any of the restaurants was delicious. Beach was the most stunning. Pools amazing. We loved every aspect of this hotel and can’t wait to go back!

this is a beautiful resort and the staff cant do enough for you. it is located in stunning forest, lots of wildlife, birds, butterflies etc. they haave a private beach which is kept pristine and complimentary snorkelling equipment, kayaks and sailing. The beach staff bring you water and ice all day, along with face mist and cold cloths to keep you cool and fresh!! breakfast was amazing - so much choice and quality food. our room was stunning, housekeeping were fab - leaving us little gifts and cakes each night ❤️ you can walk 10 mins to the bottom of the hill to reach the outskirts of Lamai where there are shops, restaurants etc - Lamai is a bit crazy but still fun. it is a 25 minute drive to Fisherman's village and a taxi was 600 baht but hire a bike if you can as the hotel is a littleisolated. we loved the Banyan tree and i would not hesitate to stay here again, i highly recommend it

What a divine experience. This was the best hotel resort I have ever stayed at. Everything was divine, from the warm and welcoming staff, to the hotels amenities and features. Nothing was spared for luxurious comfort and service. This is in my opinion one of the best resorts in the world. Highly recommend! Thank you to all the staff for a great experience. Shout out to Anna, Fern, Au, and Fa for making our most recent trip super memorable. We shall return next year!

Everything is well curated and considered. The staff are incredibly friendly and accomodating. The villas are luxurious and large, and the personal infinity pool and jacuzzi overlooking the ocean and sunrise - wow! The food is delicious and the bird life a wonderful surprise. Spent many hours at the private beach and made use of the kayaks, catamaran and snorkelling gear. Thanks Fern and all the other staff for making our stay perfect!
