Mandai Rainforest Resort to open in April 2025

Operated by luxury hotel chain Banyan Tree, the 338-room resort aims to blend architecture with nature, Mandai Wildlife Group said on Dec 18.

For one thing, it has been designed around mature trees on its 4.6ha site. Flanking the entrance will be a rain tree and an Indian beech tree, both retained in their original locations.

To be certified as super low energy, buildings have to demonstrate energy savings of at least 60 per cent from a 2005 benchmark.

The resort will also house a 300-seater ballroom, the Banyan Tree Spa, meeting rooms, a gym and a rooftop pool.

Resort guests will have access to exclusive wildlife experiences, such as early morning visits to Bird Paradise and an immersive guided tour for children at the Singapore Zoo. They can also get special rates on park entry and programmes.

The support columns for the Madagascar walk-through habitat (named "Lemur Land" in development plans) being erected. The design of the habitat will be the same as the aviaries at Bird Paradise - tall columns holding up the stainless steel netting. The habitat looks to be about 1 hectare in size based on plans. The African half of Rainforest Wild is expected to open in 2025. The Asian half could be open by the end of this year.
