What sights will stay in your memory?
One of the memories I’ll always carry with me is swimming at 6am in the infinity pool, watching the sky slowly fill with the sunrise colors over the Ionian Sea. The water is calm, the island still quiet, and everything feels serene. What makes it even more special are the people here - always genuine, always smiling. These simple, heartfelt moments are what make Angsana Corfu unforgettable.

Was there something here that changed your perspective?
I’ve stayed in hundreds of hotels in China but nothing compares to Banyan Tree Ringha. In a country of 1.3 billion I never knew such an oasis of calm existed. Thoughtful service, unique Tibetan-style farmhouses, authentic cuisine and culture. This place is more than just a hotel/resort, it’s an unforgettable experience.

If you could gift one part of this experience to someone else, what would it be?
Mandai Rainforest Resort = Family reunion + 5 attractions in one place. Our family from Spore & overseas stayed in 3 Treehouse & 1 normal room for 2 nights in June. Too short because of time constraint but so worth it.
Views of sunrise & sunset is so breathtaking and we managed to do the night safari, river wonder, bird paradise, rainforest wild Asia.
Will definitely do a staycation again.

How did this journey reconnect you with something you had forgotten?
In the midst of personal conflict, my journey to the Maldives Banyan Vabbinfaru felt like a gentle pause from the noise of life. The endless turquoise waters and quiet sunsets reminded me of the beauty I had forgotten the world still held. Being surrounded by such peace softened the weight I carried inside, helping me breathe again and reconnect with a sense of calm and wonder....

What part of this place will stay with you long after you have gone?
What will stay with me long after I’ve left is the feeling of peace and intimacy at Banyan Tree Bintan. The quiet mornings overlooking the South China Sea, the sound of waves echoing through the lush greenery, and the way time seemed to slow down just for us. It was the perfect place to begin our new chapter together — a memory of our honeymoon that I know will stay close to my heart always.

If this place were a feeling, what would it be and why?
If Penang Island were a feeling, it would be nostalgia — warm, familiar, and comforting.
It’s the joy of discovering something new while being wrapped in the charm of the past — from flavorful street food and heritage streets to serene beaches and vibrant culture. Penang feels like home, even if it’s your first time there.
