A Rising Star in Wellness Tourism
Southern Thailand’s Banyan Tree Spa Krabi has once again proven why it stands among the world’s finest wellness destinations. At the recent Thailand Tourism Awards, the spa was honored with two prestigious accolades: the Outstanding Award in the Hotel and Resort category and the Sustainability Award in Health and Wellness Tourism.
While the Krabi property secured second place in both categories, its sister spa in Koh Samui also ranked among the top 10, reaffirming the Banyan Tree brand’s leadership in sustainable luxury and holistic wellness. Often dubbed the “Kinnaree Awards,” the Thailand Tourism Awards, organized by the Tourism Authority of Thailand, are recognized as the country’s benchmark of excellence in hospitality and tourism.
Wellness Rooted in Local Heritage
Banyan Tree Spa Krabi offers a variety of massage treatments
What makes Banyan Tree Spa Krabi stand out is its authentic approach. Treatments incorporate natural ingredients such as coconut, turmeric, and tamarind, all sourced from local communities. Guests are welcomed with the spa’s signature “Scent of the Day” ritual, followed by personalized consultations and therapies designed to match individual needs.
The spa team, many trained at the renowned Banyan Tree Spa & Wellbeing Academy in Phuket, deliver a service that blends professionalism with deep cultural knowledge. Over 2,000 therapists have graduated from the academy since its founding in 2001.
Innovative Healing Experiences
Beyond its tranquil treatment suites—each with a private garden and customizable lighting to balance energy—the spa is home to Krabi’s first hydrotherapy wellness facility, The Rainforest. This innovative thermal journey includes a vitality pool, sauna, steam room, cold and hot plunge pools, and a heated bed for ultimate relaxation.
The MICHELIN Guide recently recognized Banyan Tree Spa Krabi as one of the seven most luxurious spas in Thailand, while also awarding the resort two Keys in its hotel listings.
