Destination Weddings - Feb 13, 2017
Award-winning architecture, natural beauty, and top-notch service have earned the Banyan Tree Phuket resort many accolades over the years. This luxurious property which includes a beautiful salt-water lagoon was designed in complete harmony with surrounding nature, from the open-air lobby to the tropical gardens. All the 135 villas here come with their own private pools and include all modern amenities. Situated in the Bang Tao Bay, the resort has a dedicated and experienced events team which has made it one of the top go-to venues for Indian destination weddings. With its sandy beaches, beautiful sea views and diverse venues, the private paradise has everything one needs for a perfect wedding, whether big or intimate. We asked Khun Sarinya Prateepnatalang, Head – Events at Banyan Tree Phuket, about what makes the resort such a popular choice for luxury destination weddings.
1. What is unique about the resort’s location?
“Banyan Tree Phuket is nestled in the enclave of Laguna Phuket. It is very conveniently located as it is just 25 minutes away from the airport. That way, our guests do not have to spend a lot to time driving to and fro from the airport and can relax in the solitude of their private luxury villas. The resort is also close to the Phuket Town if guests want to shop or explore the area.”

It provides the perfect ambiance with the serene lagoon behind it.”

These make for perfect backdrops for photos for various events. Our unique experience in putting together Indian weddings is also a key plus point as we focus on wowing our guests from the start.”
