Singapore Oceanarium relaunches “Ocean Dreams”, an upgraded overnight experience beneath the ocean
The signature overnight experience returns with a glamping twist, offering guests a transformative encounter with marine life and deeper insights into ocean conservation
Resorts World Sentosa (RWS, 圣淘沙名胜世界) has relaunched Ocean Dreams, a one-of-its-kind overnight experience set within Singapore Oceanarium (新加坡海洋生态馆). Running across four select weekends between November and December 2025, this exclusive glamping experience invites guests to discover the wonders of the ocean from within glamping tents nestled in the heart of Singapore Oceanarium. Perfect for the upcoming festive and school holidays, Ocean Dreams offers a memorable way for families and friends to spend their year-end break.
More than a lifestyle experience, Ocean Dreams offers an immersive educational journey into the wonders of marine life, conservation and ocean science. Anchored within Singapore Oceanarium’s mission to inspire and educate, this unique programme is thoughtfully designed for families, friends and marine enthusiasts to deepen their understanding of our oceans through curated experiences that blend discovery with purpose.
“Ocean Dreams has always been a guest favourite, and we’re excited to reintroduce it as an elevated staycation experience with even more unique and educational experiences included,” said Ms. Lam Xue Ying, Acting Senior Vice President, Singapore Oceanarium & Destination Experience (林雪盈, 代高级副总裁, 新加坡海洋生态馆, 品牌体验策划部). “From exclusive after-hours tours and access to support areas, to restful nights in beautiful glamping tents where guests can view the beauty of our Open Ocean Habitat, every detail of this experience has been thoughtfully designed to immerse guests in the oceanarium like never before.
A familiar favourite, reimagined
While the spirit of immersive learning and ocean conservation remains the focus for Ocean Dreams, the experience has been vastly reimagined.
For the first time, guests will spend the night in bespoke, glamping tents set against the mesmerising backdrop of the Open Ocean Zone — transforming a traditional sleepover into a restful retreat.
Each guest will rest in a furnished inflatable tent fitted with air-conditioning, ambient lighting, plush bedding and convenient amenities such as a drinks and snacks basket, bedside lamp, and charging access. The Ocean Gallery tents accommodate up to four guests, while the larger Ocean Dome tent welcomes groups of up to eight. Families will appreciate the thoughtful touches like a dedicated kids’ activity corner with storybooks, marine-themed board games, a badge making activity and self-guided colouring sheets. Guests will also be given a take-home amenities pouch comprising of marine themed eye mask and socks and a personalised credentials lanyard.

Guests will enjoy exclusive access to immersive learning moments, reinforcing Singapore Oceanarium’s role as a leader in next-generation ocean experiences rooted in conservation and education. Exclusive highlights that guests can expect include:
