Transforming Singapore’s leisure and tourism
industry through landmark master plan
First key milestone of plan to be completed by 2022, with Sentosa
Sensoryscape linking Resorts World Sentosa in the north to Sentosa’s beaches
in the south
Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC)
has unveiled exciting possibilities for Sentosa
and Pulau Brani as part of a landmark Master
Plan to redevelop the two islands into a gamechanging
leisure and tourism destination,
leveraging their unique island charm,
geographical qualities, as well as proximity to
the city.
Known as the Sentosa-
Brani Master Plan, the
comprehensive blueprint
will be rolled out in phases
over the next two to three
decades. It will see SDC
leveraging the islands’ ridgeto-reef
attributes to bring
in world-class attractions
as well as fresh and bold
night-time offerings,
while enhancing last-mile
transport connectivity
to and within the islands.
New spaces and concepts
that are authentic and
environmentally sustainable
will also be created –
including rejuvenated
beaches and expanded
nature and heritage trails.
The redeveloped islands will
feature five distinct zones
– each delivering unique
experiences, with the zones
progressively taking on a
more leisurely character as
guests travel farther from
the city into the islands:
Vibrant Cluster, Island Heart,
Waterfront, Ridgeline, and
Beachfront.
“Sentosa Sensoryscape
is the first project under
this Master Plan. It will
complement the expansion
of Resorts World Sentosa and
subsequent infrastructure
enhancements on Sentosa
and Pulau Brani,” said Senior
Minister of State for Trade
and Industry and Education,
Mr Chee Hong Tat.
The Master Plan will be
implemented in phases over
the coming decades, with
the first milestone project,
Sentosa Sensoryscape,
beginning construction
works in the fourth quarter
of 2019 and set to be
completed by 2022.
Located at the heart of
Sentosa island, the new
30,000sqm Sentosa
Sensoryscape, which is
approximately the size of
5.5 football fields, will link
Resorts World Sentosa in the
north to Sentosa’s beaches
in the south through a
multi-sensory experience,
replacing the existing
pedestrian thoroughfare
SENTOSA UNVEILS MAGICAL
SHORES AT SILOSO,
SINGAPORE’S FIRST BEACH
LIGHT ART ATTRACTION
Magical Shores at Siloso
Sentosa’s guests can now discover Siloso
Beach in a whole "new light" when it
transforms into the calming and captivating
Magical Shores at Siloso every night, since
23 January 2020.
Featuring vivid light, sound,
and mist effects across a
400-metre stretch of Siloso
Beach, Magical Shores at
Siloso leverages Sentosa’s
beach assets to bring two
islets to life, as well as
novel interactive areas
where guests immerse
themselves in soothing
sounds of the island and
interact with light art on
the sands. Senior Minister
of State for Trade and
Industry and Education,
Mr Chee Hong Tat, officially
opened the attraction this
evening.
Magical Shores at Siloso
is Singapore’s first multisensory,
interactive
beach light art attraction.
Comprising four acts,
the attraction offers an
experience unique to
Sentosa. Taking centre
stage are two islets across
the waters, which are
bathed in lights, dreamy
fog, and tranquil music
to transport guests to an
ethereal island. Watch
the trees come alive as a
relaxing light and sound
symphony accentuate the
raw beauty of the natural
landscape.
In another novel highlight,
guests can interact with
light art on the sands,
inspired by diverse
elements ranging from
water flow to marine
creatures
