Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree, the brand’s first property in Singapore and the 100th in its portfolio, has been pulling in sustainability-aligned events set within the 126-hectare Mandai Wildlife Reserve, a world-leading wildlife and nature destination.
Billed as Singapore’s first super low energy-certified resort and designed with regenerative principles and a low-impact footprint, general manager Glen Cook said the property is “in a unique position to attract high-end incentives, leadership retreats, board meetings, and nature-themed product launches”.
Cook added meeting groups looking to stay at the resort can enjoy a restorative retreat in nature and enhanced wellness through the Banyan Tree Spa.
The resort, which has been operational for almost a year, features 338 guestrooms, including 24 elevated treehouses with private patios offering views of the surrounding rainforest and Upper Seletar Reservoir.
F&B facilities include “harvest-to-table” restaurant Forage and Planter’s Shed, the resort’s all-day dining outlet.
Small- to mid-scale corporate meetings have taken place in the modular Meranti Ballroom, and dedicated Kempas and Pulai meeting and function rooms, for groups ranging from 20 to 300 guests.
“We are seeing growing interest from lifestyle and eco-conscious brands looking to host intimate product launches in a unique biophilic setting,” noted Cook. This trend is reflected in the 2026 calendar, with bookings dominated by regional incentives seeking nature-themed experiences and exclusive stays in the treehouses.
For large-scale events, the resort collaborates with Mandai Wildlife Reserve to access the nearby Green Canvas, a new purpose-built event space.
Cook added that the partnership’s offering of a fresh alternative to conventional city venues has resulted in business from several major companies.
