\nSingapore-based Banyan Tree Holdings announced on Wednesday (11 October) that it will operate its first resort in its home market in addition to the 43 existing resorts in 25 other countries, reported the Business Times.
\nExpected to open in 2023, the eco-friendly resort in Mandai will form part of an integrated nature and wildlife project in an area spanning 4.6ha. It will be located in the region\u2019s eastern end, where there are existing facilities that cater to wildlife parks like the Singapore Zoo. These facilities will be relocated to make way for the resort.
\nOwned by Mandai Park Holdings (MPH), the resort is the first-of-its-kind to offer full-service accommodation to visitors.
\nIt will come with a hotel that comprises a total of 400 rooms, which is the maximum capacity established by an earlier environmental impact assessment. This is to make sure that the facility can coexist harmoniously with the surrounding flora.
\nMoreover, the resort will be limited to four levels and its height will be lower than 21 metres to respect existing tree canopies. There will also be a minimum 15-metre buffer zone of retained flora between the project and the reservoir.
\nThese are among the design and operational plans for the resort jointly undertaken by MPH and Banyan Tree Holdings. They made sure to consider Mandai\u2019s environmental importance.
\n\u201cThis stay-over experience forms an integral part of our overall vision for the Mandai nature and wildlife precinct \u2014 to inspire guests to value and conserve biodiversity through memorable experiences,\u201d said MPH\u2019s group chief executive Mike Barclay.
\n\u201cTogether, we hope to provide guests with a memorable stay that highlights Banyan Tree\u2019s signature hospitality experience with a green conscience,\u201d added Banyan Tree executive chairman Ho Kwon Ping.
