Banyan Tree Launches Connections: A New Era in Wellbeing Travel

In an increasingly disconnected world, Banyan Tree has taken a significant step towards fostering deeper connections with its latest initiative, the Banyan Tree Connections program. Set to debut in May 2025 across select resorts, this immersive experience invites couples, friends, and family members to enhance their relationships through a series of holistic, shared rituals.

Transforming Travel with Purpose

For over 30 years, Banyan Tree has set the gold standard in wellness and luxury travel, continuously adapting to the evolving needs of its guests. The Banyan Tree Connections program is designed as a remedy to the fragmentation of modern life, promoting a sense of togetherness through meaningful experiences set in stunning locations. According to Paul Hawco, Executive Director of Integrated Wellbeing at Banyan Group, "In a world where time together is increasingly fragmented, genuine connection is becoming rare. This program reflects our belief that wellbeing flourishes in togetherness."

A Global Celebration of Relationships

Banyan Tree Connections will be available in four breathtaking locations: Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru in the Maldives, Banyan Tree Phuket in Thailand, Banyan Tree Mayakoba in Mexico, and Banyan Tree Anji in China. Each destination has been thoughtfully chosen to provide unique cultural and natural experiences, ensuring that no two journeys are alike.

The Road Ahead for Banyan Tree

The launch of Banyan Tree Connections not only enhances their offerings but also underscores the need for authentic human interaction in today’s fast-paced lifestyle. This initiative aims to enrich the travel experience and create lasting memories through shared adventures in breathtaking settings.

Through this innovative program, Banyan Tree emphasizes its commitment to holistic wellbeing, reinforcing the notion that our relationships profoundly influence our emotional and mental health.
