Upon arrival at the resort entrance, guests will be greeted by a towering 12-meter-tall Rain Tree (Samanea saman) on one side and an Indian Beech tree (Millettia pinnata) on the other. Retained in their original locations on the site, these two iconic trees symbolise the resort’s commitment to blending architecture with nature.
The Rain Tree, with its sprawling umbrella-shaped canopy, creates the feeling of stepping into the heart of the rainforest resort, while the native Indian Beech, known for its hardy nature and ability to enrich the soil, provides a nurturing environment for climbers, epiphytes, and a diverse range of animals.
Further connecting guests with nature, the lobby is adorned with nature inspired light features that create a harmonious and inviting space, and bespoke furniture such as reception counters and benches incorporated with upcycled wood.
As part of the overall stay experience at the resort, associates will share local stories and cultural insights, offering a deeper connection to the destination.
Like a seed pod protecting the seeds within, the 24 tree houses offer a cosy and protective shelter to its guests. Each tree house also comes with its own private patio while hovering above ground.
The adjacent five-storey resort building including the rooftop, houses 314 guest rooms and suites, is designed to rise vertically through the layers of the forest scape and offer views of the rainforest, garden and the reservoir.
Inside the rooms, the design celebrates the forest’s complexity through artwork depicting its various layers – the forest floor, understorey, canopy and emergent layers.
Antique lithographs of wildlife such as the lesser mousedeer, white-collared kingfisher, Sumatran flying dragon and the grey-headed fish eagle, depict the diverse creatures native to Singapore.
Designed with sustainability in mind, the rooms can be naturally ventilated with windows that fully open, and ambient room temperatures are regulated to mirror the cool atmospheric temperatures of the rainforests in the tropics.
