Resorts World Sentosa reveals WEAVE — Singapore’s newest tropical design-forward lifestyle destination showcasing Asia- first flagship experiences
Spanning three interconnected levels, WEAVE redefines the destination experience through biophilic architecture, sensorial landscapes and a curation of new-to-Singapore concepts
Resorts World Sentosa (RWS, 圣淘沙名胜世界) unveils WEAVE (薇福 wēi fú),
a striking architectural landmark and design-forward lifestyle destination that is now open to all. With an
expanded reveal of its biophilic features and extraordinary lineup of new Asia and Singapore exclusive
brands, WEAVE is poised to transform the island’s lifestyle scene later this year. From nostalgic local bakes
and hawker-inspired fare to lush greenery and design elements shaped by the island’s natural and cultural
heritage, WEAVE is anchored in Singapore’s vibrant identity while offering a fresh canvas for local, regional
and global brands to shine.
As the next major milestone in RWS’ transformation journey, WEAVE has been reimagined as a design-led
sanctuary where architecture, nature and immersive experiences converge across three levels of
interconnected spaces – elevating the guest journey at this premier lifestyle hub.
Where architecture and nature intertwine
A masterpiece in itself, WEAVE is designed by award-winning architectural firm Benoy and acclaimed
landscape architects from ICN Design, drawing inspiration from the island’s natural topography.
Strategically positioned as a dynamic gateway, WEAVE’s central location connects guests across the resort
and iconic attractions to create an immersive journey from day to night.
Designed as a modern lifestyle and community enclave, the bold new space embraces Singapore’s tropical
island-city identity with curated greenery, asymmetrical shopfronts and outdoor refreshment zones. It
embraces soft curves, layered landscaping and open-air walkways that harmoniously blend the indoors
and outdoors, encouraging fluid movement and natural flow. The architecture fosters a multisensory
journey, shifting from a cool, shaded botanical valley on the lower floors to a vibrant floral terrace.
Across three interconnected levels and over 20,000 sqm of space, WEAVE’s biophilic design uses lush
foliage as an integral part of the overall experience. With cascading plants linking levels, sustainable
roofing for daylight and ventilation and materials echoing the island’s geological forms, WEAVE embodies
a seamless fusion of culture, climate and community.
Home to specialty shops, WEAVE’s Lifestyle Villas feature expansive glass façades that open gracefully to
nature, while housing multi-storey decks. Overlooking animated, street-like corridors adorned with
greenery and seasonal activities, the decks create vibrant spaces where community and nature come
together.
“WEAVE represents a pivotal milestone in our RWS 2.0 transformation journey as we reimagine how
guests experience luxury and leisure in one seamless environment,” said Ms Lam Xue Ying, Vice President,
Singapore Oceanarium & Destination Experience (副总裁, 新加坡海洋生态馆与品牌体验策划部). “It is
a space designed to inspire ease and exploration, where every corner sparks wonder and extends an
invitation to linger. Whether guests are visiting for a day of thrilling experiences, culinary discovery or
quiet respite, WEAVE brings these moments together in a way that transforms each visit into something
profoundly restorative and endlessly captivating.”
ICN Design’s Director Henry Steed and Senior Landscape Architect Ling Uraiwan add: “Our landscape
design for WEAVE draws deeply from Resort World Sentosa’s island spirit, a tropical escape perched
between the forest and the sea. We have choreographed the terrain to reflect this ‘islandness’ with
natural lines, flowing as rivers do, plants reflecting the lushness of the forest, with the richness of the
valleys and the freshness of the sea. The landscape, indoors and outdoors, transports visitors to this
natural sensory realm, a botanical sanctuary not to be found in the city, evoking a genuine getaway
feeling.”
Sustainability at the core of the WEAVE experience
WEAVE is also a living demonstration of sustainable architecture. In line with RWS’ commitment to
becoming a carbon neutral destination by 2030, WEAVE integrates innovative green infrastructure and
environmental strategies.
WEAVE’s outdoor cooling strategy combines multiple automated innovations that enhance guest comfort
while reducing energy use. To support natural ventilation, weather sensors monitor indoor micro-climates
and work in tandem with high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fans and jet fans to optimise airflow across
shared spaces. An innovative heat pump technology repurposes byproduct from RWS hotels’ hot water
generation to create cooled air, lowering reliance on conventional mechanical cooling. This is
complemented by improvements to the existing ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) roofing, which
reduces solar heat gain by up to 80%, significantly easing the demand on cooling infrastructure.
The transparency of the ETFE roofing allows for ample natural light to enter for the greenery to thrive,
while reducing heat gain and minimising energy consumption for indoor lighting. These sustainability
initiatives reinforce RWS’ position as a Global Sustainable Tourism Council-certified destination and affirm
its continued investment in shaping a regenerative and resilient tourism experience.
“WEAVE was envisioned as a living, breathing sanctuary, an architecture of movement, light and
landscape. We sought to dissolve boundaries between indoor and outdoor, inviting guests to slow down,
explore and reconnect with nature through spatial moments that surprise, shelter and inspire,” said Azaria
Lee, Project Director at Benoy.
As RWS continues its transformation into a next-generation lifestyle and tourism destination, WEAVE
stands as a powerful symbol of what is to come, a space where architecture is alive, experiences are
intentional and every visit sparks new possibilities. From day to night, from nature to connection, WEAVE
invites guests to return, explore and rediscover the island resort through a new lens of design,
sustainability and delight.

Said Chef Tomoharu Shono of MENSHO X: “When I started MENSHO in 2005, it was born from a deep love
for ramen and a dream to connect people through a bowl of warmth and comfort. Every step since has
been a journey of learning, sharing and growth. With MENSHO X, I wanted to create a ramen experience
that reflects the rhythm of today’s world – fast, bold and full of energy. Singapore is the perfect place to
