W Singapore Sentosa refurbishment news: The urban resort based on Singapore’s smaller island is set to step into a bold new era this October as it lifts the curtain on its newly reimagined rooms and suites, with the full collection of rooms to be ready by year’s end.
At W Singapore – Sentosa Cove the cadence of the everyday flows unencumbered – from languid wellness rituals to the island’s bursts of unfiltered energy through music and art. The transformation – on the heels of a phased renewal of SKIRT, the hotel’s signature open-fire restaurant, the Great Room and Studios (meeting rooms), AWAY Spa, WET Deck and social spaces such as the Living Room and W Lounge – embodies the brand’s new “Luxury, Liberated” ethos. It reflects a free-spirited vision of modern luxury where Connectors of all ages can be as they are, and pursue what they want, whenever they want.

W Singapore Sentosa refurbishment: A tropical microcosm
At the heart of the design lies Singapore’s duality: a dialogue between city and sanctuary. Cosmopolitan lines nod to the city-state’s spirited history, while organic curves and verdant tones echo Sentosa’s flora and fauna. The marina’s deep blue drifts through the space, anchored by warm wooden wall panels and floors with plush carpets that invite a sense of ease. Every texture, colour, and contour is purposefully chosen, channelling the tropical microcosm of abundant energy to create an atmosphere that is at once grounded and delicately surreal.
All details of the refreshed rooms are intended to connect today’s modern traveller to the neighbouring marina cove’s idyllic charm and surrounding island views – best enjoyed from private balconies featured across most room categories. Super King or Double Queen beds –
both larger than the usual bed types found in most hotels – are dressed in plush pillow-top mattresses and complemented by a pillow menu, supporting each guest’s pursuit of wellness and restorative sleep. A freshly-added vibrant coral-orange sofa, echoing the glow of Sentosa’s sunsets, offers a relaxed perch or transforms into an additional sleeping option, bringing flexibility without compromising style. The rhythms of home flow seamlessly, with new tech-forward touches, from 65-inch TVs to in-room Nespresso machines. Moments of repose also await with the choice of a rainforest shower or a separate bathtub, enhanced by MOMO bath amenities and indulgent robes.

W Singapore Sentosa refurbishment: sustainability, reimagined
As part of its vibrant transformation, W Singapore is redefining what it means to tread lightly in paradise, safeguarding its tropical microcosm so future generations can share in its beauty. Single-use plastics are a thing of the past, replaced by in-room water filtration taps in guestrooms and in-house bottling in restaurants and event spaces. To reduce reliance on non-renewable energy, the hotel has installed over 680 solar panels, projected to generate around 500,000 kWh of clean energy annually.
W Singapore – Sentosa Cove is also recognized by the Singapore Food Agency with the Mid-Tier Farm-to-Table certification. Local produce sourcing of the island’s flavours straight to the table reduces the reliance on importing food whilst reducing carbon miles. A food-waste upcycling program transforms yesterday’s leftovers into fertilizer that feeds the lush greenery of Sentosa. Together, these initiatives to preserve the planet have earned the resort its EarthCheck Silver certification.
Urbarn resort refocused on dynamic living
The brand’s renewed focus on dynamic living also comes to life through its curated activities. Guests looking to slow down in this urban escape can find rest at the newly renovated AWAY Spa, where the rainforest-inspired sanctuary becomes a canvas for renewal. Wellness seekers can begin in the steam room or bask in the gentle heat of the infrared sauna, before moving on to the vitality pool and experiential showers, each an invitation to surrender the senses. In the latter part of the year, ice baths will bring a refreshing edge to recovery rituals. Additionally, signature treatments, enriched with advanced formulations from Comfort Zone and Valmont, weave together the precision of science and the pleasure of indulgence.

Guests are invited to immerse themselves in a curated program of wellness, creative and social pursuits throughout their stay, many of which are complimentary. Options range from an invigorating upper-body strength training session to a 10-minute express shoulder massage, depending on the day of the week. Those keen to pick up a new hobby can join a DJ masterclass led by the resort’s resident DJ. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, the Connectors have the opportunity to come together to experience the Sunset Sessions at WET Deck from 3pm to 6pm, showcasing live beats from the hotel’s Music Curator.
“W Singapore – Sentosa Cove has always been where energy meets escape, and now, we’ve turned the dial up through spaces that invite both connection and retreat, underpinned by a commitment to sustainability and crafted experience,” said GM Christian Metzner. “Our new look is striking, fresh, and unapologetically fun, inviting Connectors to live exactly how they want, whether that’s sun salutations at dawn, dance beats after dark, or cocooning in a room designed for ultimate comfort. This is modern luxury with the freedom to play, recharge, and make Sentosa Island your own.”
