BANYAN TREE KRABI ELEVATES WELLNESS EXPERIENCES WITH NEW DEDICATED FACILITIES

Banyan Tree Krabi, recognised as one of the leading hotels in Thailand, has opened a new onsite facility to provide guests the option of wellbeing activities, as well as expert tuition in Pilates and Thai boxing.

Known as the Mek Khram Wellbeing Centre, this newly constructed air-conditioned indoor venue is adjacent to Banyan Tree Spa Krabi and its renowned Rainforest hydrotherapy facility. An experienced trainer will guide Pilates classes, aimed at improving core strength, flexibility and stability. The centre features high-quality pilates equipment, such as reformer tables, Cadillac tables and ladder barrels.

Thai Boxing – ever popular among visitors to Thailand – will also be available. A Thai Boxing trainer is now on hand to introduce the traditional martial art to beginners and fitness enthusiasts who will appreciate immersive training sessions that elevate cardio and sharpen the senses in a safe environment.

Additionally, classes in Hatha Yoga, stretching and core strength training will take place at the new facility, joining an existing wellbeing itinerary that includes floating meditation, tai chi, forest bathing and sailing lessons.

Rolled out in October 2021, Banyan Tree Krabi’s Wellbeing Sanctuary programme offers guests the option of a personalised itinerary of activities such as yoga and meditation, fitness training, nutritious diet, spa treatments and sleep therapy. The Wellbeing Sanctuary concept is based on Banyan Tree’s own holistic “8 Pillars” principle: Rest; Nourishment; Connection; Movement; Mindfulness; Growth; Groundedness; and Practice.

Floating Meditation – here complemented with sound therapy – is another unique activity at Banyan Tree Spa Krabi

Participants receive a questionnaire ahead of arrival to establish realistic health and fitness goals, followed by a one-to-one consultation with a Wellbeing Practitioner at the resort to set a daily itinerary.Other notable options include aqua therapy, workouts in the resort’s fitness centre and Thai massage or facial treatments.

Each of the villas selected for the Wellbeing Sanctuary has been adapted with various wellbeing amenities: a mini-bar stocked with fresh juices and herbal teas instead of alcoholic drinks, a yoga mat, stretch bands, and even a Tibetan singing bowl. Every room features its own private outdoor pool and hot jet pool.
