Where to begin?

The entire grounds are a paradise: chlorine-free saline swimming pool, hot tub, spa, large welcoming community kitchen, Frisbee golf course, sacred geometry garden, food grown on-site, stunning landscaping, and even a lava cave on the grounds to explore. As if that weren't enough, the "Mother Ship" room hosted regular yoga classes including hatha, kundalini, and restorative.

Rae, Ben and Maggie have obviously poured their hearts into making their home, the Banyan Tree Sanctuary, into a peaceful paradise. My husband and I are grateful for the way they shared it, invited us to join them in community activities, let us know where the good snorkeling was, and even lent us complimentary snorkel gear.

After staying at the Banyan Tree Sanctuary, we feel like we understand what Hawaiians mean by the word ohana!
