Banyan Group announce a significant milestone with the grand opening of its 100th hotel, the Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree, in Singapore. This marks the group’s first venture in the city-state, nestled within the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, a renowned nature and wildlife destination. The resort, owned by Mandai Wildlife Group, is designed to offer guests an immersive experience in nature, aligning with Singapore’s City in Nature vision.
Eddy See, President and CEO of Banyan Group, expressed the significance of this opening, stating, “As we mark our 100th hotel with our first in Singapore, Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree represents a deeply meaningful homecoming.” The resort offers a unique opportunity for guests to connect with nature and enjoy wildlife experiences right at their doorstep.
The resort spans 4.6 hectares and features biophilic design elements, including elevated treehouses and a five-storey building with views of the Upper Seletar Reservoir. Sustainability is a key focus, with the resort achieving Singapore’s first Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy certification. Rooms are equipped with interactive displays to monitor power usage, and rainwater is harvested for use in flushing.
Dining at the resort is highlighted by Forage, a restaurant offering nature-inspired dishes with ingredients sourced from a rooftop garden. The resort also features a spa, a ballroom for events, and a playground designed to integrate with the surrounding rainforest.
Guests have access to nearby wildlife parks and attractions, including Singapore Zoo and Night Safari, with special rates and programmes available. The Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree aims to provide a comprehensive nature-led experience for visitors of all ages.
