"Two decades after Banyan Tree opened its pioneering resort in Phuket, the hotel group is still turning stunning Southeast Asian coastlines into equally stunning coastal resorts. Take Banyan Tree Lang Co, its forty-nine enormous pool villas occupying what was quite recently a sleepy little fishing village halfway between Hue and Hoi An. If another hotelier were behind all this, the preservationist in us might find it a bit disturbing. Fortunately Banyan Tree’s developments are as sensitive to ecology and culture as they are to the needs of their guests." - Tablet Hotels
