I arrived in Maldives broken, stressed from work and grieving a miscarriage. As we approached the Vabbinfaru Islands Banyan Tree, & witnessed the sun set over the sea outside our villa, I felt a powerful shift. Hope replaced despair. I realized struggles are temporary. That trip restored me, and today I run my own business with not just my son & my hubs, but also a beautiful baby girl by my side.

The Wellness services at the Banyan Tree offered the opportunity to leave work and technology connections behind and connect with a more spiritual rhythm

At Buahan, I stayed in a suite without walls, and it became a reflection of life itself. We build walls to feel safe, yet they often keep joy and connection out. When those walls fall, something shifts — the song of the river, the breath of the forest, and the fullness of life stream in. I was reminded that true transformation begins with openness. And that life can be led softly and gently.

During my 3 days at Buahan Banyan Tree Escape, I felt something shift inside me. Waking up to the endless green, the silence broken only by birdsong, I realized how small I was compared to nature’s vastness. One evening, sitting under the stars with no walls around me, I felt connected—not just to the forest, but to every life it holds.

Milestone means something. First to 100, it toke time, patience and passion. But only the careness as the local can make every single time as good and greatful as the first. At Banyan Tree Lijiang, I and my family tasted unique local tea and food with high standard and friendly hospitality. That was our first time to experience the Banyan Tree service, and the begining of pleasent journey.

The first visit in overseas is Singapore. Feel like the second hometown.

I have simple tastes. I am always satisfied with the best

The story we’ll forever retell from this trip is the night we got engaged. After a relaxing massage, I walked down a path of candles and rose petals into our beach villa, where the sound of the ocean played alongside my partner’s guitar as he sang Dream a Little Dream of Me before proposing. It was a moment of pure magic, and one I will remember for the rest of my life.

Collective community, the feeling of being part of a lifestyle, a heart and soul.
