Banyan Tree is set to debut its first resort in the Philippines within the sprawling 450-hectare Hann Reserve project in New Clark City, Tarlac. Envisioned to become the ultimate luxury sanctuary north of Metro Manila, Banyan Tree and Hann Resorts recently broke ground for the property onsite at the Hann Reserve master planned luxury lifestyle integrated resort.
Slated to debut in 2026, the highly acclaimed Hann Reserve is situated within a 15-minute drive from the newly developed Clark International Airport and a convenient two-hour drive from Manila. The estate project will feature exclusive PGA-affiliated player development facilities alongside three 18-hole championship golf courses, clubhouses, a mixed-use commercial centre, premium villas and residences, a 10-hectare public park, and a collection of luxury resorts.
“Hann Reserve is a game-changer for luxury travel in the Philippines. With the breathtaking beauty of New Clark City as our backdrop and the synergy of Hann Resorts with Banyan Tree as the driving force, we are proud to present a landmark development that offers an unparalleled golfing and leisure experience for discerning travellers of all kinds,” said Dae Sik Han, Chairman and CEO of Hann Philippines.
Hann Resorts is the brand of luxury integrated lifestyle resorts owned and operated by Hann Philippines Inc., a South Korean-led investment firm boldly leading the high-end integrated lifestyle resort sector in the Philippines today. It currently has two developments: Hann Casino Resort at Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga and Hann Reserve.
Eddy See, CEO of Banyan Tree Group, expressed his excitement about being part of the Philippines’ newest ultra-luxe leisure destination. “Although people associate Banyan Tree with luxury, one of the key things that is very important is the sense of emotion—the sense of feeling connected to the place through experiences that evoke memories that you will always remember for many years to come. Sense of place is very fundamental concept for any Banyan Tree development, and we have found it in Hann Reserve,” he said.
“The design of Banyan Tree New Clark City revolves around principles that are ecological yet naturally luxurious, where we express our respect for the local environment through creative design, architecture and green building practices. We also preserve the cultural integrity of the land and its people by exerting conscientious effort to preserve indigenous flora and fauna,” said Hann Philippines Vice President for Real Estate and Property Development Neki Liwanag.
