Banyan Group will open its 100th property, Mandai Rainforest Resort, in Singapore this November, marking the occasion with a weeklong celebration and charity festival. The group is also celebrating 20 years in China this year, with five new hotel openings, and will launch its first safari resort, Ubuyu, in Tanzania’s Ruaha National Park in late 2025.
Other developments include new properties in Vietnam, the Philippines, and Madrid, and expanded real estate efforts in Phuket.
In addition, the group also continues to expand its community impact through the Banyan Environmental and Community Fund, launched in partnership with the China Environmental Protection Foundation. A new clean water project in Lijiang will launch this year to mark the 20th anniversary, complementing ongoing initiatives in coral reef restoration, marine protection, and education.
“The first half of 2025 reflects not only the growth of our footprint, but also our belief that hospitality should offer more than just a place to stay,” said Eddy See, president and CEO of Banyan Group. “It’s about something authentic shaped by thoughtful design, cultural depth, and genuine care. As we grow, we remain committed to using travel as a force for positive change and to deepening meaning, not just expanding presence.”
