Over 60 experiences have also been curated for guests of Banyan Tree to explore, discover and actively engage with the wonders of the world and rediscover the romance of travel.

Saffron: Celebrating Connections, Honouring Traditions
Banyan Tree introduces a refresh of Saffron, the culinary heart of the brand. Honouring the essence of Thai culinary artistry and locally sourced ingredients, the new Saffron interprets heritage recipes with a contemporary spin, providing a feast for the senses and connection to the destinations it is in.
In celebration of the 30th anniversary, guests are invited to savour Saffron’s refreshed culinary expressions with Banyan Tree Bangkok on the Saffron Cruise along the Chao Phraya River, as well as with Banyan Tree Mayakoba’s Ixchel dining experience on a traditional Mexican Trajinera.
Saffron will also soon be introduced to new locations including Banyan Tree Dubai and Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru.
Embracing the Environment, Empowering People
The flagship Banyan Tree Phuket was built on a rehabilitated tin mine land, pioneering sustainable hospitality in the nineties. Paying homage to its founding ethos of ‘Embracing the Environment, Empowering People’ and foundations of regenerative tourism, Banyan Group will be pledging a milestone commitment to the local Phuket community as part of its 30th anniversary celebrations.
Starting in November, the Group is also pledging USD$1 for every direct booking to the initiative ‘Rewilding Banyan’, which aims to restore natural habitats in the areas it operates through pocket forests that enhance biodiversity, combat climate change, and support the wellbeing of local communities.
