Banyan Group Enters the Safari Scene, and Other Milestones

Banyan Group is on a roll, heading into the second half of the year with a major milestone on the horizon — the grand opening of its 100th property: Mandai Rainforest Resort by Bayan Tree, set in Singapore’s Mandai Wildlife Reserve. The November opening will coincide with a weeklong celebration and charity festival, marking a symbolic homecoming for the independent hospitality company.

For advisors looking for exciting new luxury and adventure offerings, Banyan Group will also make its debut on the safari scene later this year, opening Ubuyu, A Banyan Tree Escape, in Tanzania’s biodiverse Ruaha National Park. The intimate, eco-conscious retreat has lots to offer high-end clients looking for off-the-grid trips, including six villas, immersive wildlife experiences and more.

Back in Asia, Banyan Group is marking 20 years in China and 30 years in the Maldives. Advisors should also keep an eye on new resort openings in Vietnam, the Philippines and southern China, plus residential launches in Madrid, Spain, and Phuket, Thailand — both of which are ideal for luxury travelers.
