Pool villas for every guest on Bang Tao Beach, with a beach club and five restaurants on site.
The Setting
Banyan Tree Phuket sits on Bang Tao Beach in Cherngtalay, on an 89-acre estate with its 217 villas arranged around a lagoon. Every villa has its own pool, and the DoublePool Villas add a second, pairing a 15-metre infinity pool with a jet pool.
That is the real draw for a wedding. Each guest gets a private space to retreat to, which suits a group that wants a lively celebration and proper downtime too. A dedicated exit leads onto Bang Tao Beach, where RAVA Beach Club has daybeds, cocktails and charcoal grills facing the Andaman Sea. Phuket International Airport is about 16 km away, which keeps travel simple.
The day itself
Banyan Tree offers curated wedding experiences or a version tailored to you, from Thai ceremonies to Western and Indian celebrations. Locations range from outdoor garden spaces to a grand ballroom, a good fallback if the weather turns. The Lagoon Deck seats 180 at round tables or 300 standing, and the garden of Double Pool Villa 905 seats 80. Ask the team about the music curfew.
Dining is easy to build around. Saffron serves modern Thai food, TRE does steaks and Western dishes, Tin Tapas suits a sundowner cocktail hour with grills and small plates, and The Watercourt covers all-day and buffet meals. Ask which can be set aside for a private dinner.
Where your guests stay
With 217 pool villas, most of a mid-sized guest list can stay on the estate, so ask the team about villa blocks for your dates. The days around the wedding fill themselves, with the Banyan Tree Spa, hands-on workshops at the Banyan Spa and Wellbeing Academy such as tea blending and face yoga, and coffee at Banyan Cafe, which looks over the golf course. Laguna Golf Phuket, an 18-hole course, is within Laguna Phuket.
The resort is about 16 km from Phuket International Airport, usually 25 to 30 minutes by road.
Book a tea blending workshop at the Wellbeing Academy for the wedding party the day before, then hold a relaxed farewell at RAVA Beach Club on Bang Tao.
