Banyan Tree Sanctuary

My husband and I spent 4 amazing nights in the Fig Heaven bungalow and wow! What an experience! We will definitely return. It was so peaceful, magical, memorable. You just can’t beat the peace and tranquility, the beauty and wonder. Stay here! You’ll be glad you did!

Love this place! This is the only place I will stay when I come to the big island, it is home away from home for me. The beds are very comfortable and the place is super clean. Beautiful property with lots of gardens and plants and birds! Hosts are great.

My wife and I spent 10 amazing days at the Banyan Tree Sanctuary this past September. We stayed in the Sunset Suite – the top floor in the main house overlooking the views of Hawaii. If I had one word to describe BTS, I choose MAGICAL. When we first stepped foot on the property we were greeted with hugs by Raybo, the property manager. His warm embrace was comforting after MANY hours on airplanes. From that moment on, I was completely at ease being there. I loved meeting the sweet lovely folks of BTS – Ben and Amiracle – who were such a joy. We loved taking a tour of the grounds and the caves with those two. There are several folks that provide massage services, but we each received one from Raybo. I do highly recommend him. I was completely at ease with his presence and his healing touch. If we had more time, I would have loved to understand AcroSage from Ben and Amiracle. That is on my list for next time! We will definitely go back to BTS as our place on the Big Island. We just loved it. Affordable, beautiful and healing…

I found the Banyan Tree Sanctuary on
and it was my first experience with Airbnb.
It does not get any better than this. The host, Raybo is the perfect representation of Hawaiian hospitality.
Staying here is an incredible value for you money. Stay on the 3^rd floor if you can, so see the incredible views of the water in the distance.
If you are searching for a place to stay in Kona, end your search now and book a room with him. They have several different types of rooms at various price points, so there is a great variety.
It is truly a place to relax and heal — massages there too!
I cant think of another place where you can walk down in the morning and pick a fresh papaya and other fruit for breakfast.
Book in advance and secure your room as he is becoming more popular, and more visitors are finding out about this place — the cream always rises to the top, this is the best of the best places to stay.

My wife and I stayed at Banyan Tree Sanctuary two days before our wedding. It is a place with very welcoming, healing energy. Beautiful grounds that are fun to explore, with gardens, a labyrinth, and a cave among other things. Raybo gave us great tips of places to go to in the Kona area, and Benjamin surprised us with a serenade two days before our wedding — it was very touching, heartfelt, fun, and felt like a blessing. Thank you! The place has lots of great extras like organic produce, hot tub, infra-​red sauna — a great place to come and unwind and relax. Very highly recommended!

I have stayed at the Banyan Tree tree sanctuary twice now.
I have recommended it to friends and family and will absolutely go back and stay again.
The B. T. Sanctuary is truly paradise.
One of the best things about the Sanctuary is Raybo, a Message Therapist who lives at the sanctuary. I get a massage from him every time I visit. I love a good massage and Raybo gives one of the best I have ever had.
If you stay at The B. T. Sanctuary, I highly recommend booking a massage with Raybo!
