📅 2 Apr 2025
Situated in the eastern part of the Mandai Wildlife Reserve and overlooking the Upper Seletar Reservoir, Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree marks a homecoming for hospitality company, Banyan Group, as its inaugural resort for Singapore.
Sitting on a 4.6-hectare site where native tree species have been thoughtfully planted in harmony with the forest scape, the 338-room resort comprises a four-storey building with standard and family rooms, as well as facilities like a ballroom and meeting rooms, a state-of-the-art gym room and a rooftop swimming pool. Outside these are 24 elevated seed pod-shaped treehouses set amongst the trees, some looking out to the reservoir. The concept of the resort is sympathetic to the existing vegetation, treelines and natural topography. It is designed to be unobtrusive, sitting below the upper canopy layer of the surrounding trees.
