We’re blessed to be living in the modern metropolis that is Singapore, but sometimes, one can’t help but crave a change of pace and scenery. While there are plenty of top-notch hotels in Singapore for quick getaways, a majority of them are located smack in the middle of town – which doesn’t truly remove you from the daily hustle of city dwelling.
But Singapore’s newest hotel resort located within Mandai Wildlife Reserve is about to change the game. Helmed by the prestigious Banyan Tree group, the luxe Mandai Rainforest Resort offers a tranquil escape where you’ll be immersed in the beauty of nature while enjoying modern comforts. Here’s a first look of the eco resort ahead of its grand opening in April 2025.
Ever wanted to spend a night in a cosy treehouse? Your dream can now come true, all without having to take a voyage to a secluded forested area abroad. Mandai Rainforest Resort has a series of 24 Grand Mandai Treehouse rooms resembling seed pods, each with a king-sized bed, separate living area, and a private patio that opens up to lush greenery.
Next to the treehouses is a five-storey building with 314 rooms and suites, all of which come with views of the rainforest or nearby reservoir. There are options of various sizes perfect for couples, while there are also family options which come with a king bed and bunk bed. Keep an eye out for decor elements that pay homage to the forest’s biodiversity, featuring the various layers of the rainforest and its rich native wildlife.
In line with Mandai Wildlife Reserve's mission of conserving our environment, the resort is built with sustainable features such as rainwater harvesting systems for bathrooms, room windows that can fully open for natural ventilation in an effort to decrease reliance on air-conditioning, and power consumption displays that provide reminders when energy usage levels exceed their recommended amount.
Staying in this green oasis doesn’t just guarantee a nice mental reset – you’ll also be privy to special rates at Mandai Wildlife Reserve’s parks, as well as exclusive wildlife encounters and tours at the Bird Paradise and the Singapore Zoo. And with the opening of the new Rainforest Wild Asia attraction in March 2025, you can expect even more insightful animal fun in store.
After a day of adventure out at the various wildlife parks, return to the resort’s Banyan Tree Spa for a rejuvenating massage or spa treatment against the calming backdrop of nature.
Have wedding bells on the horizon, but haven’t found your dream location? Consider tying the knot at Mandai Rainforest Resort’s Meranti Ballroom, a 300-seater space with botanical-inspired decor and an adjacent bridal room where the belle of the ball can get dolled up for her big day.
Mandai Rainforest Resort’s room bookings for 2025 have yet to open, but there’s already an enquiry page where keen parties can indicate interest. Find out more about Mandai Rainforest Resort and send in your enquiry here.
