Who is it for?

Who we recommend it to

We recommend the Banyan Tree to couples seeking a beach address without leaving Dubai, and to families wanting the space of villas with private pools. It's a hotel for travellers who prefer the calm of an artificial island to the Downtown towers, while staying fifteen minutes by taxi from the Dubai Mall. Spa enthusiasts find a real Asian treatment menu here, not a disguised gym.

The building

Architecture and interiors

The Banyan Tree occupies a cluster of low pavilions built in 2021, architecture inspired by the brand's Thai resorts. Pitched roofs, grey lava stone façades, exotic wood walkways, tropical gardens planted with palms and bougainvillea. Interiors blend white marble, lacquered dark wood, silk textiles, contemporary Asian furniture. 3.20-metre ceilings, sliding glass doors opening bedrooms onto terraces.
