Craving a quick escape from the city? The new Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree offers the perfect blend of comfort, nature, and adventure. Opened in April 2025, this much-raved-about resort is a haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Located within the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, it’s great for couples looking for a peaceful retreat or families planning a fun weekend exploring nearby attractions like the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, River Wonders, Bird Paradise, and Rainforest Wild Asia.

There’s a range of accommodation options to suit different travellers—twin and king rooms for the modern minimalist, family rooms with a dedicated kids’ zone, and one-bedroom suites for a more elevated stay. But the real standout? The Treehouse Suites that overlook the lush rainforest, offering a unique and serene experience. Every room is spacious and thoughtfully designed, from the nature-inspired murals to the calming views just outside your window.

You’ll also find plenty to do within the resort itself. Join a hands-on terrarium workshop (yes, you get to take it home), relax at the rooftop garden and infinity pool, or hit the 24-hour gym surrounded by greenery.
