The Mandai Wildlife Reserve banks on nature in the Garden City
Opening in April 2025, Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree promises an immersive nature-inspired retreat where every aspect, from its architecture to its interiors, is crafted to harmonize with the environment. 
Lush Scenery
Nestled within Singapore’s Mandai Wildlife Reserve, the 4.6-hectare resort offers an exclusive gateway to renowned attractions like the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, River Wonders, Bird Paradise, and the upcoming Rainforest Wild, all just a short drive from the city center. The resort’s design embodies the principles of biophilia, blending seamlessly with the lush surroundings.
Its architecture was thoughtfully developed around the mature trees on site, and the resort wings are elevated to allow wildlife to pass freely beneath. The result is a 338-room sanctuary where guests feel part of the rainforest, designed by the award-winning WOW Architects.
Sustainable Getaways
Every space in the resort is built to offer a connection to nature, whether in the treehouses, guest rooms, or public areas. A defining feature of the resort is its commitment to sustainability. Each room is naturally ventilated, with windows that open fully, and energy consumption is monitored with interactive displays. Water conservation is a priority, with rainwater collected and repurposed for room flushing. 
These sustainable practices have earned the resort Singapore’s prestigious Green Mark Platinum certification, positioning it as the first-ever Super Low Energy resort in the region. Guests will be welcomed by two towering trees, the 12-meter-tall Rain Tree and the Indian Beech tree, symbolizing the resort’s integration with nature.
See NatureInside, the design continues the theme with nature-inspired light features and bespoke furniture crafted from upcycled wood. The resort’s spa, inspired by the protective scales of the Sunda pangolin, offers tranquil, nature-infused treatments in private pavilions, providing a sanctuary for rejuvenation.
For those seeking adventure, Mandai Rainforest Resort offers exclusive wildlife experiences, such as early morning visits to Bird Paradise and immersive zoo programs for children. The resort’s Meranti Ballroom, inspired by the enigmatic Bridal Veil Stinkhorn mushroom, serves as a unique venue for business events and celebrations.
