Stay for Good Immerse yourself in nature with purpose
At Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree, every guest is invited to engage with nature in ways that are not only enriching, but also deeply meaningful. We believe that sustainable travel begins with awareness—through exploration, observation, and education.
Nature Walks
Step into the heart of the rainforest with our guided walks designed to awaken your senses. Learn the stories of the native trees that surround us—how they protect the soil, nurture wildlife, and form the living lungs of the Earth. These walks are more than just trails; they are the pathways to understanding the delicate balance of our ecosystem.
Birdwatching Encounters
Be captivated by the vibrant colours and melodies of our feathered friends. Whether you're an avid birder or a curious beginner, our birdwatching experiences help guests uncover the fascinating behaviours and migratory journeys of tropical birds.
When you stay for good, your presence supports ongoing education, biodiversity awareness, and nature-positive tourism.
Design for Good Where sustainability is built into every detail
Our resort is an example of how design can exist in harmony with nature. From the architecture to the technology, everything has been thoughtfully crafted to reduce environmental impact while elevating comfort.
311 Solar Panels on the Rooftop
Harnessing the power of the sun, our solar array helps generate clean electricity for resort operations, reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources.
Rainwater Harvesting Systems
We capture and repurpose rainwater across the resort grounds—including in-room flushing systems and plant irrigation—turning a natural resource into a sustainable utility.
Wildlife-Friendly Lighting
Perimeter lighting uses controlled lux levels to minimise disturbance to nocturnal wildlife.

Every design decision reinforces our commitment to a low-impact, high-comfort guest experience.
Collaborate for Good Partnerships that protect, preserve, and uplift
Sustainability is not a solo journey—it thrives through collaboration. At Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree, we actively partner with local experts, conservationists, and social enterprises to create a lasting, positive impact on biodiversity and community well-being.
Biodiversity Research with Ms. Luan Keng
We collaborate with respected local ecologist Ms. Luan Keng to conduct regular surveys of our surrounding ecosystem. Her work helps us better understand, protect, and celebrate the unique flora and fauna around the resort.
Bee Conservation with Nutrinest
Rescued bees from Nutrinest have found a new home at our rooftop. These pollinators play a vital role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem, and their presence allows us to grow a thriving rooftop garden. We also engage guests in learning why bees matter—because saving the bees is saving our future.
Through collaboration, we multiply our impact—and yours.
