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.

The food, service, views and general atmosphere at Saffron was amazing! We couldn’t fault it. Ocha, Daimon, Luna and Palm were exceptional in looking after us, thank you! They were able to easily cater for my dairy and gluten intolerance, I felt very safe eating here. Thank you for a lovely evening x

I stayed here for only one night, but I was truly impressed by the outstanding service. Special thanks to Khun Tle, the bellman, who kindly provided transportation throughout the day. He was always smiling, friendly, and attentive, constantly checking if I needed any assistance, even though he had to drive me around several times. I would also like to thank Khun Au from the breakfast team. Her service was exceptional. As a Thai guest, She thoughtfully asked whether I would like any Thai dishes, and even offered to have the chef prepare them despite not being available on the buffet. Another special mention goes to Khun Diamond and Khun Ocha at Saffron. They gave me a very warm welcome, were always smiling, and took the time to recommend dishes and engage in friendly conversation. The food was delicious, and the drinks were excellent. I would also like to recognize a staff member from the Recreation team. Unfortunately, I cannot remember his name, but he appeared to be one of the youngest members of the team. He provided exceptional service and maintained a cheerful smile throughout the day, even while working under the hot sun. Thank you to everyone for making my stay such a memorable experience!

We had an excellent stay at Banyan Tree. Our lovely host, Fern, was there from the very beginning and ensured everything was seamless, offering warm and attentive hospitality throughout our stay. I still remember the refreshing coconut welcome drink on arrival. We also enjoyed a private Muay Thai session, which both my husband and I thoroughly appreciated — it was a unique and memorable experience. The Family Ocean View room was beautiful and spacious, and we truly enjoyed our time in it. While the rooms are slightly dated, they are very well maintained, clean, and comfortable. The dining experience at Saffron and breakfast could be improved, but we appreciated that the executive chef was very open and receptive to feedback, which we found reassuring. Overall, the experience was exceptional and truly unforgettable. We would definitely return to stay at Banyan Tree again.
