Saffron, the acclaimed fine-dining restaurant at Banyan Tree Samui, has been included in the MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2025, cementing its status as one of Koh Samui’s most distinguished culinary destinations.
Perched on a hillside with sweeping views of the Gulf of Thailand, Saffron delivers an elevated take on Thai cuisine, blending bold flavours with refined techniques. Standout dishes include crispy soft-shell crab paired with a tangy lychee salad and passion fruit dressing, as well as rice noodle-wrapped prawns served with tamarind pomelo salad.
For an interactive twist, the Chef’s Table experience offers guests an intimate look at the preparation of Thai classics like Tom Yum Koong, with chefs personally guiding diners through the process.
This latest accolade joins a collection of honours for Saffron, including four Best Restaurant Awards from Tatler Magazine.
Set within the luxurious Banyan Tree Samui, Saffron is perfectly matched to its surroundings. The resort’s all-pool villas, each with a private infinity pool and uninterrupted views, make it an idyllic retreat for couples. Add to that its renowned spa, complete with a unique Rainforest hydrotherapy experience, and a secluded beach framed by coral reefs, and it’s easy to see why the resort holds such enduring appeal to couples from all over the world.
