Banyan Tree Spa Krabi Shines at Thailand Tourism Awards

Banyan Tree Spa Krabi has once again cemented its reputation as one of Thailand’s leading wellness destinations after receiving two major accolades at the prestigious Thailand Tourism Awards.

On September 5, the spa was honoured with a Thailand Tourism Outstanding Award in the Hotel and Resort category, as well as a Thailand Tourism Sustainability Award in the Health and Wellness Tourism category. Recognised as the industry’s “Hallmark of Excellence,” these awards highlight the spa’s dedication to both guest well-being and sustainable practices.

The recognition comes as no surprise given Banyan Tree’s holistic philosophy and commitment to blending authentic Thai heritage with contemporary wellness. Spa & Gallery Manager, Montira Vichiankoo, explained:

“Our treatments and wellbeing activities draw from Krabi’s rich heritage, using locally sourced ingredients such as coconut, turmeric and tamarind. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, from supporting the local community to ensuring our therapists are deeply connected with the values we share with guests.”

A Journey Rooted in Wellness and Sustainability

Every visit to Banyan Tree Spa Krabi begins with its signature ritual — an aromatic ‘Scent of the Day’ welcome — followed by a consultation to personalise treatments. Guests can choose from therapies designed by highly trained practitioners, many of whom studied at the acclaimed Banyan Spa & Wellbeing Academy in Phuket.

The spa’s eight treatment suites come complete with private gardens and “colour-calm” lighting, tailored to balance each guest’s chakra. Perhaps most unique is The Rainforest, Krabi’s first hydrotherapy spa, where guests embark on a soothing journey through a circuit of thermal therapies — from vitality pools and saunas to ice fountains and heated beds.

This dedication to luxury and wellness has not gone unnoticed. The MICHELIN Guide recently named Banyan Tree Spa Krabi as one of Thailand’s seven most luxurious spas, while the resort itself proudly received 2 Keys in MICHELIN’s inaugural hotel listings.

The Wellbeing Sanctuary

Spa experiences here extend far beyond treatment rooms. Banyan Tree Krabi is home to the brand’s signature Wellbeing Sanctuary programme, allowing guests to combine travel with a personalized health journey. Overseen by Ayurvedic specialist Dr Subhash Shanbhag, this holistic approach includes meditation, yoga, nature walks, tailored nutrition, and sleep therapy, empowering guests to return home with long-lasting wellness habits.

A Luxurious Escape on the Andaman Coast

Nestled on the Andaman coastline with sweeping sea views, Banyan Tree Krabi offers 72 elegant suites and villas, each with its own private infinity pool. Beyond the spa, guests can immerse themselves in outdoor activities such as kayaking, paddle boarding, Thai boxing, and island excursions, or simply enjoy the resort’s exceptional dining, which showcases the best of Thai and international cuisine.

For travellers seeking a balance of indulgence, connection with nature, and holistic wellbeing, Banyan Tree Krabi is an extraordinary destination where luxury and sustainability converge.
