Banyan Tree Phuket is a 5-star, all-pool-villa resort made up of 218 villas, according to the property information on its Traveloka listing. Rather than a block of rooms stacked over several floors, the resort is laid out as individual villas set among lush greenery around a lagoon, and the property describes the villas as inspired by traditional Thai architecture, pairing that cultural character with modern amenities. Every unit category on the listing is a pool villa, which is the single fact that most sets this address apart from conventional hotel-room stays on Phuket's west coast.
The resort also has a long track record on the island. Traveloka's listing data records a built year of 1994 and a most recent renovation in 2018, so guests are booking into a property that has been part of the Bang Tao area for more than three decades and was refreshed within the last several years. That combination of an established address and a later renovation is useful context for travellers comparing older resorts with newer openings in the same part of the island.
The official address is 33 33 27 Moo Srisoonthorn Rd, Cherngtalay Amphur Talang, Bang Tao, Thalang, Phuket 83110, Thailand. Bang Tao sits within the Thalang district on the north-west side of Phuket, and the listing places the resort around 16 km from the city centre. The property is classified as a hotel on Traveloka, with a 15:00 check-in and a 12:00 check-out, and it lists a 24-hour receptionist, concierge help and WiFi in public areas among its core services.
For Singapore-based travellers planning a Phuket break, the appeal is straightforward: a villa-based layout, a quiet lagoon-side setting away from the busier southern beaches, and a property that the listing counts as having six restaurants on site. The sections below cover the villa categories, facilities, location, dining and practical booking tips, using only details confirmed by the Traveloka listing.
All accommodation at the resort is in pool villas. The Traveloka listing currently shows five villa categories, described below. Exact sizes, bed configurations and maximum occupancy vary by category and can change, so check the room details on the property page before you book. The listing notes that smoking and non-smoking options are available.
The Banyan Pool Villa carries the resort's own name and is one of the pool-villa categories offered on Traveloka. Like every unit at the property, it comes with its own pool. It suits couples and honeymooners who want a private villa as the base for a slower-paced holiday. Open the room card on the listing to see the current bed type and occupancy rules for this villa.
The Lagoon Pool Villa takes its name from the lagoon around which the resort is arranged, and it is a good choice for guests who want the water-and-greenery setting to be part of the stay. As with the other categories, confirm the bed configuration and guest capacity on the listing before choosing it.
The Tropical Pool Villa is another of the pool-villa options shown on Traveloka, with a name that reflects the resort's leafy grounds. It is worth comparing with the Lagoon and Deluxe categories if your main priority is the garden atmosphere rather than a particular outlook.
The Deluxe Pool Villa is a further pool-villa category on the listing. Because the property does not publish a tier ladder in the Traveloka feed, use the room cards to compare what each villa includes, rather than assuming one category is the entry level or the top of the range.
The Oceanfront Pool Villa is the category whose name points to a seafront position, making it the obvious one to look at for guests who want to be closest to the coast. Availability for named villa categories like this one can be limited on peak dates, so it is worth searching early.
In-room features differ by villa, and the Traveloka unit details are the best reference for amenities such as bathroom fittings. Rooms typically include air conditioning and a private bathroom; see the listing for the exact per-villa amenities.
Banyan Tree Phuket's facility list on Traveloka is grouped into several categories. The highlights confirmed in the listing data are:
The listing does not currently show an airport transfer service, so plan your arrival from the airport separately. Other amenities that guests might expect at a luxury resort, such as specific spa or fitness facilities, are not itemised in the Traveloka feed; if one of these matters to your trip, check the full facility list on the property page or contact the resort directly before you travel.
The resort is in Bang Tao, part of the Thalang district on Phuket's north-west coast, at 33 33 27 Moo Srisoonthorn Rd, Cherngtalay. Traveloka places it about 16 km from the city centre, which gives a sense of how far it is from the busier town and entertainment districts in the south and east of the island.
Places listed on the property page as being within reach of the hotel include:
Travel times on Phuket depend heavily on traffic and the time of day, so treat these as rough guides. Because the resort does not list an airport transfer, most guests arrange a taxi, a pre-booked car or a rental car from the airport; with on-site and valet parking available, driving yourself is a practical option.
Travellers from Singapore can book flights to Phuket on Traveloka and then plan the final road leg to Bang Tao. The quieter Bang Tao setting is part of the appeal: you are close enough to reach the island's main sights on day trips, but far enough from the crowds that the resort itself feels like a retreat.
Traveloka's listing data counts six restaurants at Banyan Tree Phuket, which is a notable number for a single resort and means guests can vary their meals without leaving the property every evening. The outlet names, cuisines and opening hours are not itemised in the feed, so check with the resort or the property page for the current line-up before you plan special dinners.
Breakfast arrangements depend on the rate you book. Some rates may include breakfast and others may not, so read the inclusions on the room card when you select your villa and rate plan. If breakfast is important to you, choose a rate that includes it.
Beyond the resort, the wider Bang Tao and Cherngtalay area has a range of independent restaurants and cafés, and a trip to Phuket Old Town is a popular way to sample local Phuket dishes in a heritage setting. You can also browse tours and attractions around Phuket to combine a meal out with sightseeing, cooking experiences or island-hopping.
A pool with every villa is the clearest reason to choose Banyan Tree Phuket. Five different pool-villa categories give you a choice of setting, from lagoon and garden atmospheres to an oceanfront position, while the property's layout of 218 individual villas creates more space and privacy than a standard room in a high-rise resort.
The resort's long history in Bang Tao, with a built year of 1994 and a renovation recorded in 2018, gives it the feel of an established address rather than a new opening still finding its feet. Six restaurants on site mean variety at mealtimes, and the 24-hour receptionist and concierge are on hand for day-trip planning and late arrivals.
Families are catered for with a children's play area and babysitting, while couples and honeymooners are likely to value the villa layout and the Thai-inspired architecture. On-site and valet parking also make it easy to explore the island by car. If you would like to weigh it against other options first, you can compare other hotels in Phuket on Traveloka.
Booking through Traveloka keeps your stay, flights and activities in a single itinerary, which is useful for a short-haul getaway from Singapore. When you are ready, start planning your whole trip on the Traveloka homepage.
