A Private Pool in the Sky

When the high-rise Banyan Tree Macau opens on May 15 in the impressive Galaxy complex, Cotai City it will be the first 'urban resort' in Macau to have private indoor relaxation pools in all of its 227 suites. It also adjoins the world's largest 'sky wave' pool (eat your heart out Marina Bay Sands )- complete with a 150-metre white sand beach- in the largest resort development in Macau. The jewel in this sky-scraping crown will be the 3,400 square metre Banyan Tree Spa with 21 treatment rooms, designed with a contemporary Asian theme (note the bamboo-motif reception and a bamboo courtyard with glass skylight) and the usual sublime Banyan spa treatments. Since Banyan Tree academy opened at Banyan's Phuket resort in 2001 their spas have been a bench mark and The Luxury Travel Bible will sumit to one of their massage tables anytime. We suggest the signature Royal Banyan treatment or the Banyan Gui Shi for those looking for true indulgence in Macau.
