Banyan Group is set to celebrate the grand opening of its 100th resort, Mandai Rainforest Resort in Singapore, with the inaugural Rainforest Festival from 27 November to 3 December 2025. The event marks Banyan Group’s debut in Singapore and will feature a variety of activities, with all ticket proceeds donated to the President’s Challenge and matched by the Group.
The festival is the culmination of 100 Journeys, a series of global events celebrating Banyan Group’s milestone. CEO Eddy See expressed that the festival is a symbolic homecoming to Singapore and a testament to the Group’s partnership with Mandai Wildlife Group. “The festival embodies our belief that travel can be a force for good – connecting people with nature, culture, and community,” he said.
Visitors can explore the Discovery Trail, which showcases the resort’s sustainable design and biodiversity. The trail includes interactive installations and the Banyan Gallery Showcase, featuring crafts from around the world. The festival will also host an experiential weekend market and live performances by local artists.
Festival-goers can participate in exclusive wellbeing, nature, and family activities, including yoga sessions and guided nature walks. The Mandai Wildlife Reserve will offer additional paid experiences, with 20% of proceeds also supporting the President’s Challenge.
General admission tickets are priced at $7.30 (S$10) on weekdays and $11 (S$15) on weekends, with free entry for children under four. The festival promises a unique blend of sustainability, culture, and community engagement.
