Banyan Tree Unveils Valentine’s Day Special at World’s ‘Best Romantic Destination
Located on tranquil Tubkaek Beach, and tiered into a lush hillside facing westward towards the Andaman Sea and the sunset, Banyan Tree Krabi has become one of Thailand’s best-loved venues for Valentine’s Day and romance since it opened its doors to guests in 2020.
Beginning around sunset on February 14th, eight lucky couples are invited to gather on the resort’s beachfront lawn where an intimate candlelit dinner will be served inside a private bamboo gazebo to the accompaniment of live music. The set menu features amorous delicacies such as Crispy Beer Battered Oyster in Rose Jam, Smoked Salmon Gravlax, and Black Caviar, which will be followed by entrees of Roasted Wagyu Beef Tenderloin or Pan-Roasted Black Kingfish with Grilled Krabi Lobster, and rounded off with some sumptuous chocolate-inspired desserts.
Bookings for Valentine’s evening are expected to be at an all-time high this year, not only at Banyan Tree Krabi, but across the lush tropical province which was recently voted “Best Romantic Destination in the World” by readers of Travel + Leisure Magazine India and South Asia.
With its iconic limestone cliffs jutting from a sapphire sea, white-sand beaches and exquisite seafood, Krabi claimed the “Best Romantic” title in a tie with The Maldives and the oasis city of AlUla in Saudi Arabia at this year’s Travel + Leisure awards, beating traditionally dreamy locations such as Lucerne in Switzerland, the Greek island of Santorini, and the Bahamas.
Nowhere along the palm-fringed Krabi coastline is that sense of sensuality more pronounced than at Banyan Tree Krabi, which faces a marine national park, peppered with uninhabited islets, including Koh Hong, famous for its hidden lagoon.
Each of the resort’s 72 suites and villas has its own private pool including a hot jet pool. The rooms are modern and bright; decor is contemporary chic with gentle tones of wood, stone and sand that are easy on the eye.
A freshwater stream winds downhill from the surrounding hillside into the property where Banyan Tree’s innovative design team has sculpted a beautiful tropical canal to ferry the springwater to the sea. The rush of water is a recurrent sight and sound at the floral 10-acre resort, where guests are constantly treated to the trickle of streams or the cascading of waterfalls, from the spectacular water feature gracing the lobby to a small waterpark for kids.
Weddings are, of course, popular at this five-star resort with its spectacular backdrop. Options include a traditional Siamese ceremony or a Western-style white wedding.
Facilities at the hotel include two restaurants and a beach bar, a kids’ club, a fitness centre, meeting rooms, and — in keeping with Banyan Tree’s wellness branding — a rainforest-themed spa, which includes special Couples’ Packages.
Saffron, the hotel’s signature Thai restaurant with its picture-postcard Bird’s Nest tables perched vertiginously among the trees, can be reached by electric funicular.
Bookings in advance are frequently required for Bird’s Nest tables due to their popularity. And only eight reservations will be taken for the gazebos on the beachfront for the Valentine’s Day dinner, as Chef Tum and his team seek to create an ambience of privacy and intimacy.
Banyan Tree Krabi was recently recognised in the prestigious Conde Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, voted No 4 resort in Thailand.
Experience The Majesty Of The Lunar New Year With Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai
The Year of the Dragon brings with it a hope of calmness, loyalty and reliability, akin to the personality of the spirit animal and at Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai, the mood is elevated with sumptuous feasts and immersive resort experiences.
“Expect festivities rooted in local traditions, bringing together common themes of warmth and sharing that signify this holiday,” says Sean Mosher, General Manager. The Year of the Yang Wood Dragon is often associated with nature, offering guests a unique opportunity to reconnect with their loved ones. “And what better place to experience this profound connection than at our lush countryside retreat,” quizzes Mosher.
Thailand by Four Seasons

Adding to the allure, Assistant Pastry Chef Thanakorn Thongpa delights guests with exquisite in-villa amenities, ensuring a touch of surprise and joy in every moment.
Couples looking for a romantic getaway will find the Pool Villa room category particularly enticing. These private havens are designed for intimacy and relaxation, offering secluded luxury amid lush landscapes.

At Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai, every guest, regardless of their journey or companions, is assured a stay that resonates with harmony, luxury, and the essence of Northern Thailand.
Feast for the Senses
A key highlight of the Lunar New Year is family get-togethers and dining experiences with live music and the lion dance taking centre-stage. The festive fervour reaches new highs as multiple venues come alive with themed lunches and dinners. Succulent Peking Roast Duck, served with delicate pancakes and Chef’s own house sauce will compete with Beef Yakiniku at the premium Asian BBQ section at KHAO by Four Seasons. “The finest desserts including a Chocolate Chinese Five-Spice Cake and Almond Jelly with seasonal fruits will leave you lingering for more,” says Thongpa. In keeping with tradition, a mesmerizing lion and dragon puppet dances will be performed by local troupes, and venues will be decorated with elegant lanterns during the New Year celebration. For those who would like to enjoy a leisurely day at the Resort, the afternoon tea featuring farm-fresh strawberries enhances the celebratory mood.
Revive and Prosper
In tune with the calmness of the spirit animal, Wara Cheewa Spa in Chiang Mai offers Lunar Radiance Spa Ritual – an immersive 90-minute ritual, pairing the 111SKIN Signature Harley Street Facial with a soothing leg and foot massage. “Two skilled therapists work in harmony in this sublime experience that boosts feelings of joyousness, and vitality,” suggests Saowapa Thumapun, Director of Spa. As one unwinds, sip on warm chrysanthemum tea and toast to a prosperous year ahead. Manifesting the calmness of the Yang Wood Dragon, the Resort will organize a New Moon Manifestation Sound Bath – a meditative journey set to the celestial tones of Crystal Singing Bowls and Tibetan Healing Bowls, perfectly timed with the New Moon. “This experience, along with Serene Sound Flow experience, are a symbol of new beginnings,” says Thumapun.
Family Fun
Elevating the joyousness of the Year of the Dragon, the La-On Kids Club features a range of themed activities. These complimentary offerings include a Lunar New Year Parade, a Treasure Hunt, Chinese Blossom Art Class, Chinese Dragon Mask Making, Dragon Puppet Making, New Year Chinese Drum, Panda Doll Making, Fan Painting, and more. “We promise a whole lot of fun and creative thinking during these sessions!” smiles Ashok Nair, Director of Rooms and Residences. And while the children are engaged, adults can truly immerse in the local tradition at their own pace – whether it is early morning cycling around Mae Rim valley, a relaxing private yoga session or even an active Muay Thai kickboxing lesson in the outdoors.
