Hann Philippines Inc, the parent company of Clark’s Hann Casino Resort, has broken ground on the Philippines’ first ever Banyan Tree, part of the company’s 450-hectare luxury lifestyle development Hann Reserve in New Clark City.
Due to open in 2026, Hann Reserve is located around 15 minutes by car from Clark International Airport and will, once complete, feature exclusive PGA-affiliated player development facilities alongside three 18-hole championship golf courses, clubhouses, a mixed-use commercial center, 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,” said Hann Resorts Chairman and CEO, Dae Sik Han. “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.”
Eddy See, CEO of Banyan Tree Group, added, “We are honored to be part of Hann Reserve – a visionary project that will transform the hospitality scene in the Philippines. Together with our partners Hann Resorts and Accor, we are committed to creating a world-class integrated resort that offers a blend of luxury and play to cater to the diverse needs of domestic and international travellers and promises to put New Clark City on the map as the region’s preeminent golfing destination.”
Banyan Tree New Clark City, to be co-managed by Banyan Tree Group and Accor, will feature fifty high-end pool villas in one- and two-bedroom configurations, designed in Banyan Tree’s signature nature-integrated style, Hann said in announcing the project.
The spacious 106-square meter villas will combine alfresco relaxation areas with plunge pools, sun decks and inviting indoor living spaces, as well as offering access to leisure facilities including a central swimming pool, health club and tropical garden spa featuring the signature rainforest hydrothermal experience. A Banyan Tree Gallery will retail local and handmade crafts, and there will be dedicated event spaces and dining options that include the Group’s award-winning Thai restaurant, Saffron.
The villas will be built with eco-friendly and sustainable materials and are designed to integrate with the area’s surroundings and indigenous flora and fauna.
Friday’s groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Banyan Tree CEO Eddy See, Ennismore Senior Vice President Francois Baudin, Hann Resorts Chairman and CEO Dae Sik Han, Accor Senior Vice President of Operations Sylvain Pasdeloup, Accor Vice President for Development Chris Cho, BCDA Chairman Delfin Lorenzana, and Tarlac Governor Susan Yap.
