Sanctuary for the Senses
When Banyan Tree Spa opened in Phuket, Thailand in 1994, it pioneered the tropical garden spa concept with its Asian therapies and holistic focus on spiritual, mental and physical harmony. As one of the pioneer Oriental spas in Asia, it reintroduced an exotic blend of ancient health and beauty practices which have been passed down from generation to generation.
Banyan Tree Spa Philosophy
Like the tropical and sacred tree from which it got its name, the Banyan Tree Spa offers guests a sanctuary for the senses – a place for physical, mental and spiritual renewal. To achieve this, the spa focuses on a non-clinical and holistic approach based on traditional Asian healing therapies. It emphasises on a 'high-touch, low-tech' approach that celebrates the human touch and the use of natural herbs and spices.
Banyan Tree Spa Academy
The first of its kind in Thailand, Banyan Tree Spa Academy in Phuket, Thailand, opened in May 2001 with the objectives of training competent therapists to meet the demands of the Banyan Tree Spa's rapid worldwide expansion and to enable Banyan Tree Spa to formalise its unique school of thought and maintain its leadership position in the spa industry.
The Banyan Tree Spa Academy trains a dedicated group of therapists for both Banyan Tree Spas and Angsana Spas worldwide. The Spa Academy is renowned for its distinctive in-house training and development programmes for its spa therapists as well as development of its unique signature techniques and treatment recipes. Banyan Tree Spa Academy enters its 14th year of operation as an educational institute and has trained over 1,900 dedicated therapists.
Spa therapists are formally trained in the art of touch based on the stringent curriculum of the accredited Banyan Tree Spa Academies and they undergo at least 350 hours of rigorous theoretical and practical training.
Following the opening of Banyan Tree Spa Academy Phuket, Banyan Tree Spa Academy Bintan in Indonesia was established to support the global expansion of Banyan Tree Spas and Angsana Spas.
In 2003, Banyan Tree Spa extended its reach into China to train dedicated Chinese spa therapists, well versed to deliver the high service standards of the Banyan Tree Spa and Angsana Spa experience in China. Master trainers provide intensive in-spa training at individual spa outlets worldwide including Greater China to coach therapists in all areas of Banyan Tree Spa and Angsana Spa service delivery.
Banyan Tree Spa continues to raise the bar in the evolving spa and wellness industry, strengthening its brand presence in the global spa scene and amongst global travellers. With over 450 spa awards and accolades, the intuitive art of touch is the key to its expansion and global footprints, growing from one Banyan Tree Spa in 1994 to become one of the largest spa operators in Asia today.
