Banyan Tree Mount Emei is a 130-key, 5-star resort made up of guest rooms and villas, every one of which comes with its own outdoor private hot spring pool, according to the resort's official website. It sits at No. 55, Section 1, Jingqu Road, Huangwan Town, in Emeishan City, which Traveloka lists under Leshan in Sichuan province. The resort describes itself as the first luxury international brand resort in Emeishan City, placing it at the foot of Mount Emei, a World Natural and Cultural Heritage Site and one of China's Four Famous Buddhist Mountains.
Rather than a single tower block, the property is laid out as a landscaped retreat. The official site says its architecture is inspired by Sichuan aesthetics and rooted in local culture, and that the grounds take in bamboo forest, a private lake and mountain scenery. Traveloka's location description notes that the hotel is set on a lake, which ties in with the lakeside villa category and the lake-based dining experiences the resort offers.
Banyan Tree Mount Emei also positions itself as a place for events as well as holidays: the official site cites over 1,200 sqm of flexible indoor and outdoor event space, and Traveloka's listing includes a conference centre, meeting rooms and a wedding service. For travellers from Singapore, it is a natural base for a slower-paced trip to Mount Emei, combining temple visits and mountain walks with spa time and hot spring soaks back at the resort.
The official site lists a ladder of room and villa categories, from mountain-view rooms up to a multi-bedroom presidential villa. Sizes below are those published by the resort; which categories are bookable at any given time can vary, so check the room options shown on the Traveloka listing for your dates.
The entry category on the official room list is the Mountain View Room, offered with either a king bed or twin beds and measuring 75 sqm (807 sq ft). As the name suggests, these rooms face the mountains, and the resort's tagline for them is about waking to a view that unfolds. They suit couples or two friends travelling together who want the core resort experience without a separate villa.
One step up is the Mountain View Wellbeing Room, again in king or twin configurations, at 83 sqm (893 sq ft). The resort frames this category around rejuvenating body and soul, making it a good fit for guests who plan to spend much of their stay on spa treatments and wellbeing activities.
The Garden Villa measures 82 sqm (882 sq ft) and is available with a king bed or twin beds. Its defining feature, per the official site, is a private courtyard, which gives it a more secluded, ground-level feel than the mountain-view rooms.
The One-Bedroom Lakeside Villa is a substantial step up in space at 218 sqm (2,346 sq ft), with lake views. It is the natural choice for honeymooners or couples marking a special occasion, especially as Traveloka's listing also mentions romantic proposal packages at the resort.
For families or two couples, the Two-Bedroom Lakeside Villa covers 296 sqm (3,186 sq ft) and combines king and Hollywood twin bedding across its two bedrooms, according to the resort.
At the top of the ladder, the Presidential Villa spans 669 sqm (7,201 sq ft) with king and Hollywood twin bedding spread over several bedrooms. It is the resort's largest single accommodation and is aimed at multi-generational groups or guests who want maximum privacy.
Across the property, Traveloka's room information describes air-conditioned rooms with minibars (stocked with some free items), LCD televisions with satellite programming, memory foam beds with down comforters, private balconies or patios, free wireless internet, and bathrooms with separate bathtubs and showers with rainfall showerheads plus complimentary toiletries. Features can differ by category, so see the listing for per-room amenities. Connecting or adjoining rooms exist and can be requested from the property, subject to availability.
Wellbeing is at the centre of the facility mix. The Banyan Tree Spa, according to the official site, draws on Emeishan's local culture and has five private double treatment rooms, each between 70 and 100 sqm, along with a rainforest-inspired wellness experience and a coffee bar. Traveloka's listing notes that massage services require a reservation, which you can make by contacting the hotel before arrival using the details on your booking confirmation.
Key facilities confirmed by Traveloka's listing and the resort's own site include:
On the services side, Traveloka lists a 24-hour receptionist, concierge, porter, luggage storage, laundry service and multilingual staff. The property is marked as disabled-access friendly and wheelchair accessible, with an elevator, smoke-free areas, a coffee shop and coffee or tea in the lobby. Parking and a garage are both listed under transport facilities. For business and celebrations, there are meeting rooms, a conference centre and a wedding service.
The resort also highlights a set of experiences on its grounds: a morning stroll along the woodland trail, sunrise Tai Chi, a signature floating therapy, and venues such as the 500 sqm Forest Platform in the bamboo forest and a Study Room used for calligraphy and tea, which can also host intimate private dinners.
The resort's address places it in Huangwan Town at the base of the mountain's scenic area. Traveloka's area information gives the following approximate distances from the hotel:
Traveloka's location description adds that Xiujia Waterfall and Mount Emei are within roughly a 10-minute walk. Further afield, the listing also names Guo Moruo Former Residence, the Museum of Handmade Paper, Qianfoya Scenic Resort and Lingbao Tower, all between about 24 and 35 km away.
Most international visitors arrive via Chengdu. The nearest major airport in Traveloka's data is Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU), around 157 km from the hotel. From Singapore, you can compare flights to Chengdu on Traveloka and then continue by road or rail. The official site notes that the resort is only about a 5-minute drive from Emeishan High-Speed Railway Station, which makes the train a convenient final leg. A garage and parking are listed for guests arriving by car.
Traveloka's dining description mentions two restaurants, a coffee shop or cafe, and a bar or lounge, together with 24-hour room service. The resort's own dining page names its outlets as follows:
Beyond the restaurants, the resort offers set-piece dining experiences: private meals at the Mid-Lake Pavilion, afternoon tea served on a boat on the lake, and private feasts in the Study Room. In-room dining and in-villa dining are also listed by the resort. Note that buffet breakfast is available daily for a fee according to Traveloka's listing, so check whether your chosen rate includes it.
If you want to explore beyond the resort, the mountain and its temples are close by. You can also browse things to do and tours on Traveloka to plan excursions around Mount Emei and the wider Leshan area.
The clearest reason is the combination of privacy and proximity. With a private hot spring pool attached to every room and villa, you can soak in the evening after a day on the mountain without leaving your own space, while the trailheads and temples at the base of Mount Emei are only minutes away.
It also works for very different kinds of trip:
Food is another draw, with Jiayao giving guests a taste of Mount Emei local specialities without having to venture out. If you are weighing up options, you can also compare other hotels on Traveloka for different budgets or a city stay in Chengdu before or after Mount Emei.
Booking through Traveloka lets you see the live room options and the cancellation terms for your selected rate in one place, and pay with the methods available to Singapore travellers. Ready to put the whole trip together? Start planning on the Traveloka homepage.
