About Kempas & Pulai
A Rainforest Setting Unlike Any Other
Kempas & Pulai is a distinctive event space nestled within Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree, Singapore's first resort located within the Mandai Wildlife Reserve — the same precinct that is home to the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, River Wonders, and Bird Paradise. Named after two native tropical trees, Kempas & Pulai reflects the resort's deep connection to the surrounding rainforest, bringing the textures and atmosphere of the natural environment directly into the event experience. The space offers an ambience that is genuinely rare in Singapore: a sense of green seclusion and biodiversity just minutes from the urban core, without sacrificing the service standards or facilities of a luxury hotel.
The resort itself is operated under the Banyan Tree brand, globally recognised for its commitment to sanctuary-style hospitality and environmental stewardship. Events held at Kempas & Pulai carry that association — guests arrive not merely at a hotel ballroom but at a destination, one where the sounds and sights of a living rainforest form a natural backdrop to any occasion.
Events & Occasions
Kempas & Pulai is suited to a range of private and corporate gatherings. The space lends itself particularly well to events where the setting is intended to be a statement in itself — intimate corporate retreats, team-building days, product launches, cocktail receptions, and nature-inspired celebration dinners all sit naturally within the rainforest resort context. Planners looking to move away from the convention-centre circuit and offer attendees something genuinely memorable will find the Mandai location a compelling differentiator.
The resort's connection to the Mandai Wildlife Reserve also opens possibilities for event programming that go beyond the room itself — guests can extend their experience into the broader precinct, making multi-day corporate retreats or incentive events especially viable. Banyan Tree's events team can work with planners on tailored setups, food and beverage arrangements, and ancillary experiences that draw on the resort's unique positioning.
Location & Access
Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree sits in the Mandai area of northern Singapore, within the Mandai Wildlife Reserve. The location places it away from the density of the city centre, which is precisely the appeal: the resort offers a retreat atmosphere while remaining within Singapore's well-connected transport network. Mandai Road provides direct road access, and the area is reachable by private vehicle or taxi from most parts of the island. The resort's proximity to the wildlife attractions of the Mandai precinct means that guests travelling for multi-day events have a rich set of activities available during downtime, enhancing the overall experience of any extended corporate or social programme hosted at Kempas & Pulai.
