Find Out What Makes Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree the Most Unique Hotel in Singapore

Singapore is renowned for its glittering skyline, world-class attractions and fast-paced lifestyle. Yet, hidden within the Mandai Wildlife Reserve lies an extraordinary escape unlike anything else in the city. Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree is the first and only resort located within Singapore’s renowned wildlife reserve, making it a destination that redefines what a hotel stay can be. With our rainforest-inspired design, immersive activities and strong commitment to sustainability, we invite you to discover why we are the most unique hotel in Singapore and a leading choice for travellers seeking unique hotel experiences.

Treehouse-Inspired Accommodations

Our crown jewel is our collection of rainforest treehouses. Elevated above the forest floor, each treehouse immerses you in the canopy, creating the sense of being part of the rainforest itself. With 63 sqm of space, floor-to-ceiling windows and private patios, our Mandai Rainforest Treehouse and Mandai Sanctuary Treehouse offer comfort and privacy while placing you at the heart of nature. Designed with biophilic principles, our treehouses position us as the most unique hotel in Singapore, bringing you closer to the wild in ways that traditional city hotels cannot match.

Immersion in Mandai Wildlife and Nature

What makes our resort truly special is our direct access to the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, home to the Singapore Zoo, River Wonders, Night Safari, Bird Paradise and Rainforest Wild Asia. From the moment you wake, the rainforest greets you with the calls of tropical birds, the rustle of leaves and the occasional sight of wildlife from your patio. Our complimentary shuttle service makes exploring the parks effortless, so families and nature lovers can immerse themselves fully in Singapore’s most extraordinary natural experiences. This is what defines us as a unique hotel in Singapore—where adventure begins just steps from your door.

Sustainability at Our Core

We are proud to be Singapore’s first eco-luxury resort, built with a light ecological footprint. Our design uses natural ventilation, rainwater harvesting and refillable bottles to minimise environmental impact. We use sustainable materials and eco-friendly construction practices to preserve the surrounding forest. Recognised with the Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy certification, our resort embodies Banyan Group’s ethos of responsible tourism. Staying here means taking part in one of the most forward-thinking unique hotel experiences in Asia.

Wellness in Nature

Our philosophy extends to wellbeing. We offer spa and wellness programmes designed to connect you with the rainforest itself. Surrounded by lush greenery and serene landscapes, our spa offers an escape where massages and beauty treatments become a soothing salve for the senses and body. Begin your day with a serene Yoga or Pilates session at the Banyan Tree Spa, offered on selected days, inviting you to restore balance, enhance vitality, and embrace the morning in quiet sophistication. Each experience is created to rejuvenate body and mind, making our resort a sanctuary for renewal. Here, wellness is not confined to a treatment room—it flows from the rainforest around you, making us one of the best unique hotels in Singapore for restorative stays.

Proximity Yet Seclusion

Although we are just 30 minutes from Singapore’s vibrant city centre, our resort feels like an entirely different world. Here, skyscrapers are replaced with towering trees and traffic noise is exchanged for a rainforest symphony. We offer travellers a rare opportunity: a nature escape without leaving the city. This balance of accessibility and seclusion is what makes us one of the most remarkable unique hotels in Singapore.

Experiential and Educational Opportunities

We believe in enriching stays through learning and discovery. Our curated programmes for families and children go beyond entertainment—they foster appreciation for biodiversity, conservation and sustainability. From engaging hands-on workshops and kid-friendly activities at the Rangers’ Club to self-guided explorations of the forest, we create opportunities for guests of all ages to forge meaningful connections with nature. These activities ensure that every visit is more than a holiday—it is one of the most purposeful unique hotel experiences in Singapore.

A First-of-Its-Kind Concept in Singapore

We offer something no other hotel in Singapore can: a true urban rainforest retreat. We are the first of our kind, combining eco-luxury, family-friendly programming, conservation and wellbeing within a protected reserve. This one-of-a-kind concept positions us as not only the most unique hotel in Singapore, but also as a design trailblazer—winner of the 2025 SIA Design Award for architectural innovation.
