Within the bustling cityscape of metropolitan Singapore, I woke up to the sight of a wispy mist hovering over the water, with just the green from the trees as far as the eye can see, and pure pure silence. It was almost impossible for me to imagine that a sanctuary such as this was still to be found in Singapore - but there it was. Right before my eyes. Unforgettable.

Tucked under the shade of the mandai banyan tree. My wife surprised me with the calm I didn’t know I needed.No flights, no big adventure— just quiet. And in that stillness, I let go of the constant buzz of city life.
What I found instead was presence— a slow morning, fresh air, her smile. It reminded me: sometimes the best journeys don’t take you far— they just bring you closer to what matters.

In life's busy haze, I often lose my inner balance and forget how to feel pure joy. Since losing my beloved, the search for inner peace has become everything.
I remember our wellness escape at Banyan Tree in 2022 - two nights that soothed my body, mind and soul. In that serenity, my heart finally relaxed. I rediscovered self-love and rekindled a hope for all the beauty life still holds.

when nature is this close, it will wake what’s locked inside; fear not, and embrace it.

Stayed in Banyan Tree Bintan in 2016 as a treat for loyal customer. I never forget the fishing tour: my son was disappointed for not catching any fish…Later, I joined Star Alliance photo competition, and my photo of fishing led me to the top prize of 1 million Singapore Airlines miles! So, we travel around the world on SQ. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.

At Banyan Tree Tamouda Bay, beyond its serene pools and elegant rooms, surprisingly, the check-in became the soul of our journey. That moment of grace still echoes in my days. Since then, I strive to carry that same spirit of hospitality into our clinic in Brazil. From the ambiance of the room, to the way Mr. Omar would gently guide each routine — a standard of genuine care that never fades.

I am inspired by Banyan Group’s unwavering commitment to sustainability, community, and heartfelt hospitality. At Angsana Velavaru, I see these values come to life daily—through the warmth of our associates, our bond with the local community, and the meaningful experiences we create for guests. Grateful to be part of this journey that makes a difference.

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.

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.
