Banyan Tree Samui Launches ‘White Lotus’ Speedboat Tours

In a nod to the breathtaking backdrop of HBO’s acclaimed series, The White Lotus, Banyan Tree Samui has unveiled exclusive speedboat tours to Mu Ko Ang Thong National Marine Park and other iconic spots featured in the show. Fans of the tropical drama—and those seeking an unforgettable Thai island escape—can now relive the show’s magic with the Sense of the Sea, a luxurious custom-built 400HP speedboat offering bespoke excursions from Koh Samui.

Explore Thailand’s Stunning ‘White Lotus’ Islands

Situated in a private bay on Koh Samui’s southeastern coast, Banyan Tree Samui invites guests to embark on an eight-hour adventure exploring the archipelago of 42 islands, known for dramatic limestone cliffs, lush tropical forests, hidden lagoons, and pristine beaches.

Other tailored excursions include:

• Koh Phangan: A six-hour trip to the vibrant island famous for its Full Moon Party, as portrayed in the series.
• The 5 Islands Sunset Cruise: A tranquil option to enjoy breathtaking Thai sunsets.
• Koh Taen and Koh Matsum: Explore the secluded “Bay of Pigs,” home to wild yet tourist-friendly beach pigs, along with diverse wildlife like monkeys and monitor lizards.

Guests can enjoy ample opportunities for snorkeling, swimming, and champagne toasts, all while taking in the vibrant marine ecosystem, including coral reefs, turtles, sharks, dugongs, and colourful tropical fish.

A Resort Inspired by The White Lotus Effect

Embracing the allure of The White Lotus, Banyan Tree Samui has crafted in-house experiences to complement the island’s newfound fame. Guests can indulge in the “Sense of Lotus” spa package, featuring a rejuvenating exfoliation treatment with fine lotus seed powder, and sip the resort’s signature White Lotus cocktail—a tantalising blend of vodka, rum, lychee juice, lime, coconut milk, and dried rose petals.

The resort’s 88 villas are terraced into the hillside, each offering a private infinity pool with sweeping views of the Gulf of Thailand. The property spans 38 acres, rich in flora and coral reef-lined beaches, and boasts world-class facilities, including:

• Three exceptional restaurants, including Saffron, recently listed in the 2025 MICHELIN Guide.
• An award-winning spa with Rainforest hydrotherapy.
• A fitness centre, kids’ club, and dedicated event spaces.
