With a footprint in 23 countries and over 90 luxury resorts and hotels under management, the Group has evolved from a single boutique property in Phuket into one of the world’s most respected independent hospitality companies.
Founded on the belief that travel can be a catalyst for positive change, Banyan Group has stayed true to its values-driven approach, embracing local cultures, empowering communities, and designing experiences that rejuvenate both guests and the planet.
“Our mission is not to change the world, but to cultivate it,” the Group’s leadership affirms.
With more than 13,000 associates across the globe, Banyan Group delivers immersive, design-led hospitality through a diverse portfolio of hotels, spas, residences, food concepts, and retail ventures. Its luxury offerings consistently centre wellbeing, with initiatives such as Wellbeing Sanctuaries and the newly launched app ‘Beyond’ enhancing the guest journey.
Banyan Group also stands out for its commitment to developing talent through the Banyan Academy, launched in 2008. The Academy supports continuous learning and leadership development through a mix of digital courses, in-person workshops, and executive mentoring. It plays a key role in aligning the workforce with the Group’s eight core cultures and future-forward leadership values.
In recognition of its commitment to excellence, Banyan Group has received over 3,000 industry awards, including being named one of the Top 25 Hotel Brands in the World by Travel + Leisure magazine.
Sustainability remains a cornerstone of the Group’s ethos. Initiatives such as the ‘Stay For Good’ programme, the Green Imperative Fund (GIF), and the Brand for Good framework reflect their alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Since 2001, the GIF has been funding impactful, community-based environmental projects globally, fuelled by guest donations and resort contributions. The Banyan Global Foundation, launched in 2009, further drives corporate responsibility by directing resources toward grassroots and global development efforts.
