MICHELIN Honors Banyan Tree Krabi — And Saffron’s Menu Gets a Golden Touch
For the discerning traveler seeking more than just a beachfront villa, Banyan Tree Krabi offers a curated experience that’s now MICHELIN-approved.
Awarded Two Keys by the MICHELIN Guide Thailand for the second-year running, the resort blends architectural elegance, wellness innovation, and culinary artistry into one unforgettable stay.
The MICHELIN Key system, introduced in 2024, mirrors the famed Star ratings for restaurants but applies to hotels. This year, only 21 properties across Thailand earned Two Keys, placing Banyan Tree Krabi among the country’s most distinguished destinations. The Guide’s criteria include architecture and design, service quality, character, value, and community impact, areas where Banyan Tree Krabi continues to shine.
And in September 2025, the resort’s Rainforest Spa, the region’s first luxury hydrotherapy facility, was honored with both a Thailand Tourism Outstanding Award and a Sustainability Award in the Health and Wellness category. MICHELIN described the spa as “where tropical serenity meets holistic wellness,” a fitting tribute to its immersive, rejuvenating experience.
Meanwhile, the resort’s signature restaurant Saffron has undergone a refined transformation. Guests can now enjoy dishes served on porcelain china with gold-plated cutlery, and a “Sorbet of the Day” to cleanse the palate between courses. The menu features elevated Thai classics like laab gai thod, a crispy ground chicken salad prepared tableside, and pla chuk khrueng, a revived Krabi-native recipe starring locally caught mackerel in coconut curry paste.
With 72 pool suites and villas, including a seven-bedroom Presidential Beachfront Pool Villa, Banyan Tree Krabi offers a full suite of luxury amenities: two restaurants, a beach bar, beach club, kids’ club, fitness center, meeting rooms, and the award-winning spa.
