72 hours on plastic - only 0.1% of the virus remains
48 hours on stainless steel
24 hours on cardboard
In the air for 3 hours

Guest Bookings

In order to minimise risk Banyan Villas, in its’ wholly owned villas will employ a policy of maintaining a 72-hour gap between the departure and arrival times of guests. Banyan Villas will refuse check-ins within 72 hours of previous guests’ departure.
For Banyan Managed villas, where Banyan Villas provides cleaning services and guest relations, Banyan Villas would encourage Owners to operate on the same 72-hour gap basis. https://banyanvillas.com
