Rising from the base of the lush Namsan Mountain, the Banyan Tree Club and Spa maybe a mini skyscraper, but it provides a real sense of oasis. Its green neighbour provides the feel of being in the countryside, surrounded by flora and fauna. Indeed, this is definitely a place to unwind. 90% of the hotel’s rooms have their own relaxation pools, while the spa offers a range of treatments based on time-honoured traditions, with local ingredients (followed by a meditative 30-minute Calm Time including refreshments). Guests can also take part in a hydrotherapy programme and rainforest experience and drink/dine in seven onsite venues.
