Why choose this journey

For the particularly seductive combination of a private bay, a pool villa for every guest, and a beautifully preserved tropical environment. The resort works equally well for a honeymoon or a family stay, but its terrain, views, and numerous private dining options give it a strong romantic dimension.

Perched on the lush green hills of Lamai Bay, Banyan Tree Samui descends through the jungle to a small private bay with turquoise waters. The natural terrain provides the resort with a remarkable sense of seclusion and offers numerous panoramas of the Gulf of Thailand, while remaining just a few kilometers from the center of Lamai.

The establishment features 88 villas, spread across the heights and around the bay. All feature a private pool, the resort’s true signature, with various orientations overlooking the gardens, the beach, or the ocean. Family categories and the Presidential Pool Villa offer up to two bedrooms and generous outdoor spaces.

The gastronomy centers notably around Saffron, a contemporary Thai restaurant selected by the Michelin Guide Thailand 2026, and The Edge for breakfasts and international flavors. A beachfront restaurant and Destination Dining experiences also allow for dining directly facing the bay or in more secluded spots within the estate.

The Banyan Tree Spa Samui includes ten treatment pavilions and The Rainforest, the brand’s signature hydrotherapy circuit. Yoga, fitness, snorkeling on the bay’s reef, kayaking, paddleboarding, and sailing complete the experience, while a Kids Club ensures the resort maintains a genuine family appeal despite its very romantic atmosphere.
