Banyan Tree Opens Debut Resort in India

Located on the secluded, private island of Nediyathuruthu in the southern state of Kerala, the resort is slated to open by the first quarter of 2013 as the latest in the group’s global offerings.

It will incorporate 59 villas, each with a private swimming pool, and decorated with traditional furnishings and elaborate woodwork.

Other notable amenities will include a wellness centre, an exercise room, a yoga room, a library and a children’s club, three restaurants and a pool bar.

For adventurous guests, sports such as climbing and archery can be found on an island positioned just five minutes from the resort by boat, whilst at night a private boat is available for guests to go site seeing.

The Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts Group was founded in 1996. It currently manages or has ownership interests in over 20 resorts and hotels, 60 spas, 70 retail galleries, and 3 golf courses across the world.
