About Kempas
A Rainforest Setting Unlike Any Other
Kempas is an event space at Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree, a property that sits within the Mandai wildlife and nature corridor in northern Singapore — one of the island's most ecologically significant green belts. The space takes its name from the Kempas tree, a towering tropical hardwood native to the region, a detail that signals the resort's deep connection to its natural surroundings. For event planners seeking a venue that breaks from the convention of city-centre hotel ballrooms, Kempas offers an atmosphere shaped by the sights and sounds of the rainforest, positioning every gathering within a genuinely distinctive environment.
The resort itself is part of Banyan Tree's globally recognised portfolio, a brand synonymous with considered design, sustainability credentials, and a strong sense of place. Kempas inherits that design sensibility — the aesthetic draws on natural materials and earthy tones that echo the forest canopy outside, creating an interior that feels both refined and rooted in its location. Natural light and the presence of greenery are central to the spatial experience, lending a sense of calm that is rare in Singapore's urban event circuit.
Events and Occasions Well Suited to the Space
Kempas is well positioned for a range of events where the setting itself is part of the proposition. Corporate retreats, leadership off-sites, and team-building programmes benefit from the psychological distance that a rainforest resort environment creates — being away from the CBD signals a shift in mode that a city hotel simply cannot replicate. The space is equally suited to intimate social gatherings, cocktail receptions, and milestone celebrations where hosts want their guests to experience something memorable.
Wedding couples drawn to nature-inspired or tropical themes will find the Kempas space and its resort surroundings a compelling canvas. The Banyan Tree brand's hospitality infrastructure — spanning dining, wellness, and accommodation — means that multi-day wedding celebrations or corporate conferences can be hosted within a single, cohesive property, simplifying logistics for planners and enhancing the experience for guests.
Location and Access in the Mandai Corridor
Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree is located in the Mandai precinct, adjacent to Mandai Wildlife Reserve — home to Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, River Wonders, and Bird Paradise. This position in Singapore's northern nature corridor means guests travel away from the city's density into a quieter, greener landscape, which is a deliberate part of the venue's appeal. The resort is accessible by car via the major expressways connecting Mandai to the rest of the island, and the wider Mandai precinct is served by public bus connections.
For event groups requiring on-site accommodation, the resort's rooms and villas allow attendees to stay within the property, turning a single-day event into a longer immersive experience. The combination of a distinctive natural setting, a trusted international hotel brand, and proximity to Singapore's most celebrated wildlife attractions makes Kempas at Mandai Rainforest Resort a venue that goes well beyond the expected.
