Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts themes its 25th anniversary celebration Exceptional Experiences, paying homage to its heritage and thanking guests who are the reason for this celebration. Since the Banyan Tree Phuket, Thailand, opened its doors in 1994 — built on the site of an abandoned tin mine and transformed into Asia’s first integrated destination resort — it has grown into a chain of 39 properties around the world across four hotel brands, comprising Banyan Tree, Angsana, Cassia and Dhawa.
Festivities include campaigns and stories rooted in its corporate ethos of embracing the environment and empowering people, depicting its sustainable approach to building in harmony with nature and developing the community in each locale where it is present. Apart from digital initiatives, guests can also enjoy a 25th Anniversary Celebratory Offer, comprising 25% savings on rooms, food and beverage services, spa and retail gallery. Guests who take up this offer will also be treated to a signature anniversary cocktail The Botanical, created by Banyan Tree Phuket’s bartender Khun Kornchaphat Pichayadechapaisarn.
The highlight of this package is a complimentary Exceptional Experience of your choosing. Celebrate Self focuses on the individual with a body awareness workshop centred on health and well-being; Celebrate Relationships is for two people or a group and includes a scooter tour of the town at Cassia Phuket; while Celebrate Community is an immersion in local culture or participation in a sustainability activity.
The anniversary celebrations also offer a tour of the Tea Mountains at Angsana Xishuangbanna in China and a marine conservation programme at the Marine Lab at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru in the Maldives, comprising coral planting and exploring the Ranamaari Shipwreck. The offer runs until Dec 19 with a minimum stay of two nights.
