Singapore’s luxury hospitality landscape is set to reach new heights with the arrival of The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). Opening in the third quarter of 2025, The Laurus marks the debut of The Luxury Collection brand in Singapore, a milestone achieved through a landmark collaboration between RWS and Marriott International.
Positioned as an elite, private enclave for the discerning traveller, The Laurus has been designed to embody timeless elegance and sophisticated exclusivity. Taking its name from the laurel leaf—an ancient emblem of distinction, achievement, and honour—the resort seeks to transform every stay into a memorable and meaningful experience. Bookings for the resort’s 183 all-suite accommodations will open in May 2025.
Drawing inspiration from the curated home of an experienced collector, The Laurus offers guests a narrative-led experience that reflects both Singapore’s storied heritage and vibrant, contemporary character. The design of the resort combines colonial charm with tropical serenity, creating a space that is both evocative and inviting. From the moment of arrival, guests are welcomed into a sanctuary that blends refined luxury with the warmth and intimacy of a well-appointed home.
Nestled on the edge of a lush tropical forest within the expansive RWS grounds, The Laurus provides a retreat into tranquillity, just moments away from the energy and excitement of Sentosa’s many attractions. The resort spans five floors and features elegantly designed suites, along with landscaped courtyards and a dedicated function room ideal for private events and ceremonies.
Every suite at The Laurus has been thoughtfully crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Expect curated furnishings, plush bedding, and an interior design scheme that embraces a sleek monochromatic palette—accentuating the timeless character of the space. In addition to the spacious accommodation, guests will enjoy access to an outdoor swimming pool, a signature bar, a luxury spa, and a new all-day dining restaurant that promises to satisfy even the most discerning palates.
As part of RWS’ wider transformation strategy, The Laurus embodies the resort’s ongoing commitment to delivering elevated destination experiences rooted in quality, innovation, and excellence. The addition of this property will further enhance the appeal of RWS as Asia’s premier lifestyle destination, blending world-class hospitality with cultural richness and natural beauty.
Speaking on the launch, Tan Hee Teck, Chief Executive Officer of Resorts World Sentosa, said, “Our landmark collaboration with Marriott International to bring the very first The Luxury Collection branded property to Singapore further exemplifies our commitment to redefine luxury guest experiences. The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, embodies the very essence of our ongoing pivot to offer curated destination experiences as part of RWS’ transformational expansion plans.
