KRABI, Thailand (Nov. 25, 2019) — Singapore-based Banyan Tree Holdings Ltd, one of Asia’s foremost luxury hotel groups, has announced plans for a new resort in Krabi in the second quarter of 2020.

Now under development in a serene location on Tubkaek Beach, some 35 kilometers from Krabi Airport, Banyan Tree Krabi fronts powdery white sands and the shallow-shelved coast of the Andaman Sea. In the near distance, a dozen karst limestone towers jut from pristine waters. Nestled directly behind the hotel lie the lush forests of Mu Ko Phi Phi and  Khao Ngon Nak national parks.

The new Thai resort will offer 72 pool suites and villas, among them seven 2-bedroom options and one three-bedroom villa.

Facilities include all-day dining, a ballroom, a wedding chapel, a beach club, a kids’ club, and a fitness center. In keeping with Banyan Tree’s holistic branding, the resort will also host a rainforest-themed spa.

Banyan Tree Holdings Ltd. said that it expects to open the doors of Banyan Tree Krabi to guests between April and June 2020.
