Garrya — Fastest-Growing Brand
Since its launch in 2021, Garrya has become Banyan Group’s fastest-growing brand, adding three new properties in 2024: Garrya Xianju and Garrya Yangcheng Lake in China, and Garrya Mù Cang Chải in Vietnam. The latter, opening in August 2024, will be characterised by an ecologically sensitive design and is the largest bamboo architecture in Vietnam, combining cultural Vietnamese symbolism with contemporary design.
Garrya offers simplicity designed for modern lifestyles. Current locations include Huzhou Lucun and Xi’an Lintong in China, Kyoto in Japan, Tongsai Bay Samui in Thailand and Yogyakarta in Indonesia, marking eight total properties for the boutique brand.
Homm, Angsana, Cassia — Expanding Footprint
Banyan Group’s Homm has nearly doubled its footprint in 2024 with six new openings, including Homm Stay Nagi Shijo Kyoto, Homm Stay Nagi Sanjo Kyoto, and Homm Stay Nagi Arashiyama Kyoto in Japan as well as Homm Marina Sokcho in South Korea. Homm Zhuhai Hengqin and Homm Changchun Beihu in China will open later this year.
The Group also welcomed several other new properties: Angsana Suzhou Shishan in March 2024, its largest property by number of rooms to-date–a 674-room Cassia Sokcho in June 2024, and Angsana Quan Lan on 1 July 2024. More properties are set to open in the coming months, strengthening Banyan Group’s presence in high-growth destinations. This expansion underscores Banyan Group’s strategic positioning to leverage the increasing growth of the middle class in key markets.

Banyan Group’s Residences portfolio continues to expand with recent launches in Phuket, including Banyan Tree Beach Villas, Banyan Tree Beach Residences, and Garrya Residences, alongside upcoming projects for Laguna Beachside, Skypark at Lakelands, and a new upscale waterfront condominium near Cassia.

This initiative completes the circle of support for its clients, offering a range of branded residences and villas for short and longer-term rentals in unique destinations.
“In response to the increasing demand for quality residential rentals, Banyan Group is pleased to introduce Banyan Living,” said Michal Zitek, AVP Regional Operations of Banyan Group. “This dedicated rental marketing portal will provide consistent, high-quality service and create opportunities for residence owners to generate income through a seamless rental experience.”
