Banyan Tree Spa Krabi has recently turned heads—not only earning accolades from the MICHELIN Guide as one of Thailand’s most luxurious spas but also unveiling a truly refreshing twist: complimentary weightless therapy classes.
Imagine drifting in water where buoyancy eases both body and mind—a concept that might just change your outlook on relaxation.
Weightless therapy, also known as flotation therapy, invites guests to leave their earthly burdens behind. Under the careful guidance of Wellbeing Practitioner Dr. Subhash Shanbhag, one-hour one-on-one sessions gently guide you into a state of deep relaxation.
Whether you opt for the rhythmic “Wave Stretch,” which pairs a gentle tension-point massage with the natural flow of water, or the immersive “One Weightless” treatment, the experience promises a unique, zero-gravity journey to well-being. And if you’re in the mood for a bit of communal calm, group classes are available as well.
“Weightless therapy is an alternative way to heal your body and mind,” explains Manager Ms Montira Vichiankoo. “Floating not only calms the mind but also exercises muscles, joints, and bones—a win-win for anyone looking to escape the daily grind.”
Yet, this innovative therapy is just one chapter in the Banyan Tree Spa Krabi story. The resort’s renowned “Sanctuary for the Senses” also offers a suite of treatments ranging from traditional Thai and oil massages to the signature Restorative Detox massage, designed to stimulate the body’s circulation.
The spa’s crown jewel, however, is the Rainforest—a luxury hydrotherapy circuit celebrated by the MICHELIN Guide as a harmonious blend of tropical serenity and holistic wellness.
Here, you can stroll along the Rain Walk, enjoy the soothing steam room, or take a dip in a series of carefully curated pools, from icy plunges to warm, inviting jets.
For those who relish a truly indulgent experience, the “Sense of Place – Krabi Tranquility” treatment offers a 150-minute journey starting with a jasmine and sky flower leaf skin polish, followed by a Naka Fusion stone massage, and culminating in an aromatic coconut milk bath.
Alternatively, the Sleep Essentials massage beckons those who wish to sink into a state of profound rest. And if you fancy a refreshing twist, the Tropical Rainmist treatment—complete with a gentle rain shower, an invigorating body scrub, and a tension-melting Thai massage—might just be your ticket to bliss.
All these treatments are delivered by highly trained therapists, and graduates of the intensive program at the Banyan Spa & Wellbeing Academy in Phuket, ensuring that each experience is both authentic and transformative.
“Have you tried a zero-gravity environment?” muses Dr. Subhash, an Ayurvedic doctor who’s made Thailand his home for over 13 years. “It’s a chance to disconnect from everyday worries and embark on a journey towards restorative health and deep relaxation.”
Beyond the treatments, the allure of Banyan Tree Spa Krabi extends to its stunning location—a tranquil beachfront resort gracefully tiered on a lush hillside overlooking the Andaman Sea.
With 72 pool suites and villas, including opulent multi-bedroom options and a majestic seven-bedroom Presidential Villa, the resort offers a complete escape.
Dine at exquisite restaurants, sip cocktails at the beach bar, or unwind at the vibrant beach club. For families, there’s a dedicated kids’ club, and for those mixing business with leisure, meeting rooms are available.
Recognised as an exceptional stay with Two Keys from the MICHELIN Guide and ranked No. 4 by Conde Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, Banyan Tree Spa Krabi continues to set the benchmark for luxury and innovation in Thailand.
