a man-made ‘eco-pond’, the relaxation lounge
of the villas, spas and café sit directly at the
water’s edge to create a true oasis for rest
and calming rejuvenation. All treatment rooms
offer views of the pond or the heritage forest
adjacent to the site. Internal garden courts with
filtered natural light represent the semi-private
areas for this village-like complex. The sloping
roof, the reflecting pool and the verandahs
reflect the tropical style. Natural materials such
as wood, clay tiles and stone; warm colours;
and subtle patterns and textures complement
the landscape setting. Local materials such as
bamboo, grasscloth, driftwood and shells are
employed to reinforce the sense of place.
The glass façades combined with the timber
verandahs give the impression that the entire
structure is floating on water with a serene,
minimalist aesthetic. Bamboo is used in its
natural form in flooring and ceiling coves in
the treatment rooms. Nature-inspired artefacts
such as twisted roots are installed in a display
niche in the treatment rooms celebrating its
natural beauty. A relaxing environment of
reflecting pools and dense tropical greenery
create a contrast to the excitement of the
attractions which are conveniently near, but
sufficiently separated to ensure exclusivity
and privacy.
As the final stage of the Resorts World Sentosa
development, West Zone offers an amplification
of what makes the integrated resort so exciting
– a wide range of family-friendly leisure and
entertainment options that are truly unique in
Singapore. While the existing Central Zone and
Universal Studios Singapore bring world-class
amenities and attractions, West Zone’s aquatic
theme brings a combination of edu-tainment,
leisure, hospitality and resort-style amenities
to what is already one of Singapore’s most
exciting and diverse attractions.
West Zone’s numerous
and unique hospitality
amenities include
