Banyan Tree has launched innovative Habitat packages that allow you to buy weeks, from 1 to 4, at Banyan Tree, Angsana, or Cassia (you cannot mix and match them).
You prepay one to four 7-night packages at select hotels that come with a breakfast. Not all hotels are participating in this offer.
You can access this offer on BanyanTree’s website here.
Note that these stays booked using packages are not Accor Live Limitless (ALL) qualifying for nights or points.

Here are a couple of price examples:
Banyan Tree Mayakoba
Banyan Tree Cabo Marques
The issues:
- You can only book a specific room type with this package, and Banyan Tree Cabo doesn’t have it available on most Fridays and Saturdays.
- Most of the city hotels and resorts in Asia are super cheap at the moment. It is probably less expensive to book their sale rate (that would also be ALL qualifying).
- These packages are for seven nights. If you want to have a shorter stay, you need to redeem one of the seven nights packages and forgo some of the nights.
- These nights are neither ALL nights or points qualifying.
Conclusion
This is an excellent deal for Banyan Tree Mayakoba and Cabo Marques if you can find availability and prefer staying for several weeks.
I am just worried that the availability disappears very fast at these base-level rooms that are eligible, and some are already blocked for weekend stays (see the Cabo-named property in Acapulco).
