Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) has announced the upcoming launch of Weave, a retail and lifestyle area scheduled to open in the second half of 2025. This new development, previously known as The Forum, is part of RWS’s broader transformation strategy.
The 20,000 square meter space will feature over 40 lifestyle and premium brands distributed across three interconnected levels.
RWS is wholly owned by Genting Singapore, a company of the Genting Group. Located on Singapore’s resort island of Sentosa, it occupies 49 hectares and includes the Universal Studios Singapore, S.E.A. Aquarium, Dolphin Island and Adventure Cove Waterpark.
RWS CEO Tan Hee Teck stated that Weave represents a significant step in the RWS 2.0 transformation, aimed at enhancing premium and lifestyle experiences within a cohesive environment. He noted that Weave will serve as a social hub, connecting guests across the resort and attractions.
The architectural design of Weave, created by the firm Benoy, incorporates biophilic elements and a weave pattern, reflecting the island’s tropical environment.
Planned Offerings at Weave
Weave will include a range of flagship and concept stores. Notably, the Maison Pierre Hermé Paris flagship will offer a selection of pastries and desserts, including an ice cream bar.
Additionally, WeWa, a Middle Eastern street food concept, will serve items such as falafels and shawarmas prepared in an open kitchen.
Michelin-starred chef Paul Pairet will introduce two dining concepts at Weave: an ice cream parlor featuring unique flavor pairings and a kitchen specializing in contemporary French cuisine. Other dining options will include Peking Chamber from mainland China, Standard Bread from South Korea, and Chatterbox, known for its chicken rice.
In addition to Weave, RWS is also planning a new waterfront lifestyle development expected to open by 2030. This project will be situated near the S.E.A. Aquarium and Universal Studios Singapore and will include a promenade, two luxury hotels, a “mountain trail,” a light sculpture, and a retail and dining podium.
Current attractions at RWS include the multimedia art experience Harry Potter: Visions of Magic, which opened in November, and the recent launch of Illumination’s Minion Land at Universal Studios Singapore in February.
