Published on February 20, 2025

Banyan Tree Spa Krabi, recently recognized by the MICHELIN Guide as one of Thailand’s top luxury spas, is redefining relaxation with its latest wellness offering—complimentary weightless therapy sessions. This innovative flotation therapy allows guests to experience deep relaxation and stress relief through guided water-based techniques.

Weightless therapy, also known as flotation therapy, involves floating in water to create a sensation of zero gravity, which helps alleviate muscle tension and mental fatigue. Banyan Tree Spa Krabi’s Wellbeing Practitioner, Dr. Subhash Shanbhag, and his expert team lead one-on-one sessions, ensuring a personalized and immersive experience.

Guests can choose between two specialized sessions:

  • Wave Stretch – A combination of rhythmic water movement and gentle tension-point massage.
  • One Weightless – A fully immersive experience designed to promote deep relaxation in a zero-gravity environment.

Both private and group sessions are available, offering an alternative approach to physical and mental well-being. “Weightless therapy is an alternative way to heal your body and mind,” said Banyan Tree Spa Krabi Manager, Ms. Montira Vichiankoo. “Floating in water not only induces relaxation but also benefits muscles, joints, and overall circulation.”

A Sanctuary for the Senses

The weightless therapy sessions complement the award-winning spa’s extensive wellness offerings, including traditional Thai massages, deep tissue therapies, and hydrothermal experiences. Banyan Tree Spa Krabi’s signature Rainforest hydrotherapy circuit—featuring a Rain Walk, Steam Room, Sauna, Ice Fountain, and Jet Pool—has been described by the MICHELIN Guide as a place where “tropical serenity meets holistic wellness.”

Another standout treatment is the Tropical Rainmist experience, where guests relax under a gentle rain shower before enjoying an invigorating body scrub and Thai massage. The Sense of Place - Krabi Tranquility treatment, a 150-minute journey of skin polishing, stone massage, and an aromatic coconut milk bath, offers another level of indulgence.

All spa therapists undergo rigorous training at the Banyan Spa & Wellbeing Academy in Phuket, ensuring world-class expertise in anatomy, massage techniques, and holistic therapies.

The Banyan Tree Krabi Experience

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Andaman Sea, Banyan Tree Krabi offers 72 luxurious pool suites and villas, including a seven-bedroom Presidential Villa. The resort features fine dining restaurants, a beach club, a kids' club, and state-of-the-art wellness facilities.
