At its core, this Thailand Hotel News report highlights how Banyan Tree’s latest project bridges luxury and lifestyle, adding a new dimension to Laguna Phuket’s reputation as one of Asia’s most sophisticated resort hubs. “Rava Beach Club represents an evolution of the Banyan Tree experience,” said General Manager Peter Somsri. “We are merging our legacy of service with a vibrant, modern energy that will set a new benchmark for island escapes.”
Spaces designed for every mood
Rava Beach Club is divided into distinct zones, each designed to resonate with different guest moods and rhythms. The Young & Fun zone serves as the social heartbeat, complete with three infinity pools, a DJ booth, and open-air lounging areas that accommodate up to 180 guests. It’s a place where music, movement, and mingling take center stage, creating a spirited environment for travelers and locals alike.
In contrast, the Prestige Lounge caters to Laguna Residence Owners and Sanctuary Club members seeking exclusivity. Here, guests enjoy private infinity pools, curated dining, and personalized service in a serene environment that elevates relaxation to an art form. Every detail—from the layered layout to the carefully tuned soundscapes—has been designed to harmonize with the natural rhythm of the Andaman Sea.
