Banyan Group Expands Presence with New Resort in Zhuhai
Strengthening the Group's presence in China's Greater Bay Area, Banyan Tree Zhuhai Phoenix Bay is a new coastal sanctuary that celebrates the confluence of nature, culture, and community.
A Unique Coastal Retreat
Banyan Tree Zhuhai Phoenix Bay is set amidst lush hills along the South China Sea. This resort represents an enclave of tranquility within one of China's bustling and vibrant regions. The dual-branded resort, alongside Angsana Zhuhai Phoenix Bay, enriches the scenic shores of Phoenix Bay, offering stunning views of the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge and the renowned Zhuhai Grand Theatre.
Growth in the Greater Bay Area
This opening is not just a milestone for the resort itself but also highlights Banyan's impressive growth in China, celebrating its 20th anniversary in the region. The group is on course to achieve a significant global milestone with the upcoming Grand Opening of Mandai Rainforest Resort — their 100th hotel. With 37 operating locations, China serves as the Group's largest and most vital market in its expansion efforts.
Celebrating Local Heritage
The architectural design of Banyan Tree Zhuhai Phoenix Bay draws its inspiration from the harmonious relationship between artistry, nature, and town life reflected in Lingnan culture, typical of the southern Guangdong region. The structure follows the natural contours of Phoenix Bay, presenting a beautiful interplay where mountains meet the sea.
Design and Aesthetics
The resort's design captures Zhuhai's maritime spirit with terracotta roof tiles, sunflower lattice windows, and the elegant use of glazed bricks and oyster shell walls. The roofline, reminiscent of a ship's sail, serves as a poetic nod to the horizon beyond. Inside, guests are greeted by soft marine colors and light, while elegant motifs evoke the craftsmanship of local artisans.
A Culinary Experience
Dining at the resort is an extension of its stunning landscape. Each restaurant showcases local culinary traditions and fresh, seasonal ingredients. XUN, their signature restaurant, serves Minnan cuisine, celebrated for its distinctive fresh and umami flavors. RONG offers delightful dim sum as part of their breakfast menu that carries the relaxed rhythm of Lingnan mornings.
Unique Dining Venues
BANG, the whisky and grill bar, boasts an impressive collection of curated whiskies. Guests can enjoy their meals with memorable views of the scenic Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge. Meanwhile, THE BUTTER offers contemporary Chinese desserts, and MIRROR, the lobby lounge, invites visitors to relax over evening tea.
Wellness and Relaxation
The Banyan Tree Spa serves as a sanctuary overlooking the bay, offering luxurious treatments that incorporate natural ingredients and traditional techniques. This holistic wellbeing extends through a variety of outdoor activities such as Wing Chun martial arts, beach meditation, and access to a cliffside hot spring with both indoor and outdoor pools. The infinity pool seamlessly extends toward the coastline, presenting breathtaking views and a perfect compliment to a wellness retreat.
Event Spaces for Gatherings
Banyan Tree Zhuhai Phoenix Bay provides stunning venues for moments of connection, including the expansive Phoenix Ballroom, which can accommodate both intimate ceremonies and large celebrations. The natural light-filled pre-function area leads to stunning open lawns, establishing a seamless blend between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
