For the first time, the renowned French-based MICHELIN Guide, famous for its restaurant ratings, introduced a “keys” system to recognize the world’s top hotels. In the 2024 MICHELIN Guide Thailand, Banyan Tree Samui and its sister resort, Banyan Tree Krabi on the Andaman Sea, were each awarded two “keys.” This accolade places them among Thailand’s 19 Two-Key hotels, out of a total of 58 hotels recognized by MICHELIN, including eight with the top Three-Key rating. Each property was anonymously assessed on five criteria: architecture and design, service quality, personality, value, and contribution to guest experience.

Just a week later, on October 1, the resort earned a spot in the 2024 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, ranking third among Thailand’s top resorts with a score of 95.16. This marks a rise from its fifth-place finish in 2023, while Banyan Tree Krabi took fourth place in the same category. The awards are based on votes from over 575,000 readers.

In between these achievements, on September 26, Banyan Tree Samui was named “Best Luxury Hotel – Koh Samui” at the 33rd Annual TTG Travel Awards in Bangkok. This prestigious event, which recognizes excellence in Southeast Asian hospitality, is based on votes from industry professionals, including travel agents and tour operators.
