Banyan Tree
Asian sanctuary resorts with serious villas, spas, and a long view of landscape.
Banyan Tree pioneered the Asian villa-and-spa resort model, building hotels around privacy, landscape, and a treatment programme that is central rather than incidental. Its strongest resorts retain a calm, tactile identity even as the company has expanded globally. This selection favors the original sanctuaries and the most distinctive newer openings.
