The six-star ESPA in Resorts World at Sentosa will offer a complete integrated hotel and wellness centre product.

Dolphin-assisted therapy is the latest spa innovation to enter the world of luxury resorts.

Luxury spa operator, ESPA, is building the region’s first fully integrated wellness spa at the new Resorts World, currently under development on Singapore’s Sentosa Island, and treatments involving live dolphins are top of the spa menu.

“There will be a pioneering interactive dolphin spa programme in association with [marine encounter company] Dolphin Quest, providing spa therapies with dolphin interaction in specially created lagoons,” explained Jackson Lay, assistant director of communications, Resorts World at Sentosa, which is being developed by Genting International Plc and Star Cruises Limited.

The programme will offer innovative treatments never practiced before such as dolphin massage, he added.

ESPA at Resorts World will offer programmes and treatments for mind and body, including lifestyle coaching, stress management clinics and post-operative and rehabilitative facilities. It will also boast two private Spa Palaces, which C-L Hanrahan, marketing administrator for ESPA claimed would attract the Middle East market in particular.

“The palaces will appeal to guests who seeks the ultimate level of exclusivity and luxury in a place where they may enjoy spa treatments, undertake personal training and relax with other members of their entourage, or simply enjoy it by themselves,” he explained.

Resorts World at Sentosa will also include six hotels, each targeting a different niche market, and comprising 1860 rooms in total.

Properties will include the six-star ESPA Villas, an all-villa private pool development set in a lush tropical landscape and targeted at top-end discerning guests; Hotel Michael, a 460-room one-of-a-kind boutique hotel designed by US architect and designer Michael Graves; and a Hard Rock Hotel catering to “hip and active” families.

The integrated resort, one of two in Singapore planed for completion by early 2010, will also be home to Universal Studios Singapore, a Quest Marine Life Park, a casino and Equarius Water Park.

The 49-hectare resort, which is expected to put Singapore on the world map as a leisure holiday destination will be completed in early 2010, at a total cost of around US $5.2 billion.
