A new lifestyle hub is on the rise in Singapore, situated at the heart of Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). 

Introducing WEAVE, the region’s premier lifestyle cluster featuring Asia-exclusive flagship stores, new dining concepts, and immersive experiences. Set to open in the second half of 2025, this exciting new destination was formerly known as the Forum, and has been revamped as part of the resort’s transformation strategy. 

Set amidst a tropical backdrop spanning over 20,000 sqm, which is twice the size of the former Forum, this new lifestyle destination will offer an expansive collection of over 40 lifestyle and premium brands across three interconnected levels. All of this is housed within an architectural masterpiece designed by the award-winning architectural firm Benoy, which paid homage to the island’s tropical beauty by integrating biophilic design elements with multi-sensory experiences.

"WEAVE marks a significant milestone in our RWS 2.0 transformation as we redefine premium and lifestyle experiences in one seamless environment. More than a retail space, WEAVE is a dynamic social hub connecting guests across the resort and attractions to create an immersive journey from day to night,” said Tan Hee Teck, Chief Executive Officer of RWS.

"WEAVE embodies our vision of a next-generation lifestyle destination — one where the boundaries between retail, entertainment, and dining blend, allowing guests to move effortlessly between curated experiences. This is indulgence redefined — inviting, unexpected, and always evolving to offer fresh discoveries with every visit.”

Destination Highlights: A Cluster of Excitement

WEAVE will soon become the home to world-renowned brands and new-to-Singapore dining concepts that will surely make for a one-of-a-kind experience. 

One of its highlights is the highly anticipated arrival of Maison Pierre Hermé Paris, the Singapore flagship patisserie by Pierre Hermé, also known as the “Picasso of Pastry.” This two-level immersive boutique aims to transport guests into the world of haute patisserie, offering a curated selection of the chef’s signature creations as well as exclusives specially crafted for the city-state. 

Some of the iconic desserts you can get there are the Ispahan, Tarte Infiniment Vanilleand the delectable Macaron Mogador. The store will also have an Ice Cream Bar with over fifteen flavors of ice cream and sorbet, as well as a fine selection of beverages from bubble tea to artisanal coffee. Lastly, it will also offer customization services, which will allow guests to create their own gourmet assortments and explore the art of furoshiki packaging.

“Singapore is a leading gastronomic destination, where high standards and refinement resonate with the world of Maison Pierre Hermé Paris. We have chosen WEAVE at Resorts World Sentosa to make our Singapore debut with our flagship Maison as it is part of our desire to offer enthusiasts a unique experience where audacity and savoir-faire take on an incredible dimension. This unique boutique is an invitation to celebrate the art of taste, flavors, sensations, and pleasure," said Chef Pierre Hermé.

Another dining experience to look forward to is WeWa (We Eat while We Walk), a vibrant Middle Eastern Street food concept offering a range of Middle Eastern delights from pillow-soft pitas and hand-pressed falafels to slow-roasted shawarmas.

A French kitchen is also making its way to the WEAVE, where guests can taste classic French flavors with a modern twist. This new restaurant by Michelin-starred Chef Paul Pairet features grilled meats and a rotating carvery station, and will offer seasonal French classics such as quiches, stews, and charcuterie boards. Chef Paul will also debut an ice cream parlor serving freshly churned soft-serve and sorbets. 

China’s Peking Chamber restaurant will also open its first Singapore branch here, as well as Standard Bread, a popular Korean bakery known for its signature salted butter bread. 

Also joining the stellar lineup is Singapore’s very own Chatterbox, which will serve its famed Mandarin Chicken Rice and other local favorites; and beloved tea chain brand, CHAGEE. More stalls and casual dining options will be available across this massive complex, serving favorites such as Laksa and Char Kway Teow, as well as halal and vegetarian food options.

Explore And Experience Singapore in Spring
Photo 5 Photo by Gardens by the Bay/X (Formerly Twitter)

March is finally here to kick off spring! Say goodbye to winter woes and cold nights, and take a step outside to welcome the first buds of the season. 

When spring comes, Singapore becomes a vibrant destination filled with festivals, lush greenery, and exciting experiences. As Asia’s greenest city, it boasts a myriad of activities for you to enjoy during the spring months, from strolling through gorgeous gardens in full bloom to catching art festivals and indulging in local cuisine. From March till May, the city has much to offer under an expanse of blue skies and pleasant weather perfect for gallivanting across its urban spaces. 

Why Visit Singapore in Spring?

Don’t get us wrong; Singapore is a great place to explore all year round. But if we were to choose an ideal time to go, it would fall around spring, which starts from March to May. This is a period when the city-state enjoys good weather with an average temperature of 27 °C. Although it’s still warm, it rains less, and the humidity is lower, which makes it the perfect time to suntan or enjoy a day out in one of their parks. 

In March, you can enjoy nature without suffocating from the heat. Meanwhile, April and May bring in a bit more fog and cloudy days, which is ideal for those who want to explore the city without the sun beating down on their heads. It’s also considered a low tourism season, so you can enjoy attractions with fewer crowds. Overall, it’s the ideal time for outdoor excursions and leisure activities.  

Ready to explore? Whether you’re a nature lover, a foodie, or an adventure seeker, here are some of the best things to do in Singapore this season!

Stop and Smell the Roses

When spring arrives, we start seeing some of our friends on social media flying to counties with cooler temperatures to see the cherry blossoms. But you don’t need to go far to see spring blooms. 

Although quite warm, Singapore is actually a green city with several lush green areas and beautiful gardens worth exploring. From trumpet flowers that resemble cherry blossoms to fiery-looking flame trees, these are just some of the pretty flower sights the city has to offer. 

Jurong Lake Gardens is usually covered in a canopy of pink during this time due to the many trumpet trees in bloom, mimicking the delicate Sakura blooms, while the East Coast Park is practically bursting with colorful Bougainvillea bushes. For IG-worthy posts, you can visit the Japanese Cemetery Park, which is known for its picturesque floral archways draped in Bougainvillea flowers and surrounded by more trumpet trees. 

But if you’re set on seeing actual cherry blossoms, just head over to Gardens by the Bay and check out their annual Sakura event. This year, the attraction is highlighting Japan’s Fukuoka prefecture, featuring recreations of the Kokura castle, light installations, and iconic floral displays. You can experience a Japanese spring in Singapore at the Flower Dome from Mar. 8 to Apr. 6 for only S$32 per adult (S$18 for children)!

Join In the Festive Fun

Springtime brings in more than fine weather and beautiful flowers, but also a series of events and celebrations that truly heighten the city’s vibrant energy. One of them is the Singapore International Festival of Arts, which showcases theatre, dance, music, and visual arts in a series of performances in different venues around Singapore.

There are also a bunch of festivals and exhibitions currently ongoing around the city, such as the LIV Golf Singapore 2025, which goes beyond golf and is a full-on festival with live music, food events, and family-friendly activities. If you’re an art enthusiast, the Groundseesaw is hosting three immersive art exhibitions namely “Monet Inside,” “Van Gogh Inside: Love, Vincent,” and “Gustav Klimt: Timeless Beauty.” You can book your tickets via Fever.

For Disney fans, the Singapore Indoor Stadium is hosting the latest production of “Disney On Ice,” a dazzling ice-skating show featuring some of your favorite Disney characters. 

Looking to indulge in a feast? We’ve got you covered. There are a couple of food events happening this season, such as the Ramadan food festival at Kampong Gelam (Mar. 25) and the APAC Food & Beverage Expo 2025 at the Singapore Expo Hall (Mar. 13 to 16).

Have A Thrilling Adventure at Sentosa Island

Ride The Waves

Singapore River Cruise

Now we don’t mean get in the water literally (but you can totally do that too in Sentosa with its waterpark and beaches), what we’re saying is that the spring weather is the perfect time to see the city from the water and what better way to do that than to hop on board the Singapore River Cruise?

Get to know the city through a guided tour along the Singapore River. You get to ride a traditional bumboat and sail down multiple historic landmarks like the Raffles, the Esplanade, and the Old Parliament House. It’s also a unique way to take in the city’s incredible skyline!

Pro tip: ride it just before sunset. Trust us, it’s magical seeing the city transform from day to night!

Head Into The Wild
