About Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree
Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree is Singapore's first wildlife-adjacent resort hotel, located within the Mandai Wildlife Reserve next to Singapore Zoo, River Wonders, and Bird Paradise. The property holds a 4.6-star Google rating from 3,272 reviews and offers an entirely different staycation proposition from any other hotel on this list: rooms face the rainforest canopy rather than the city, and the sounds of wildlife and birdlife form the ambient backdrop to the stay. The 338 rooms and suites are designed in a nature-informed aesthetic with warm timber tones, forest-view windows, and high-quality Banyan Tree brand amenities. The infinity pool appears to extend into the surrounding jungle, and the property includes a Banyan Tree spa, multiple dining outlets, and direct access to the Mandai wildlife parks. For families with young children and for guests who want a completely different sensory and visual experience from Singapore's city hotels, Mandai Rainforest Resort is the standout alternative.

"Woke up to birdsong and the sound of the jungle outside our window. The pool is incredible, the rooms are beautifully designed, and having the zoo right next door was perfect for the kids. A completely different Singapore experience."
