The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands is set to welcome a wave of new retail and dining options, further cementing its position as a premier shopping destination in Asia. According to a recent press release, the mall achieved an impressive 99 percent occupancy rate in the first quarter of 2021, with luxury retail driving its recovery.
In the food and beverage sector, hot pot aficionados will be thrilled by the upcoming opening of Haidilao’s latest outlet in early May. This new location, marking the chain’s debut at The Shoppes, will feature individual hot pot stations, catering to solo diners eager to experience the restaurant’s renowned broths.
Adding to the culinary excitement, Bacha Coffee will unveil its new boutique in the middle of the year. The store will showcase over 200 varieties of loose coffee beans sourced from regions including Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Asia.
The beauty and fragrance landscape at The Shoppes is also expanding. Sisley Paris has launched its first standalone store, offering a range of personalized facial and hair analysis services. In June, Singapore’s Parisian bespoke perfume house, Maison21G Paris, will open its doors, while The History of Whoo, a luxury Korean skincare brand, will debut its first facial service boutique.
In the home and living segment, Frette, the renowned Italian linen and lifestyle brand, will introduce its first standalone store in Singapore this September. By the end of 2021, Silky Miracle, a London-inspired high-end home and living brand, will open its inaugural store in Singapore, featuring luxurious homewear for all ages and custom embroidery services. Additionally, Pineider, a luxury brand specializing in fine paper, leather goods, and writing instruments, will launch its first standalone store in July.
Hazel Chan, Vice President of Retail at Marina Bay Sands, expressed optimism about the new developments. “We are heartened by the confidence our retail partners have in The Shoppes, especially as agility and adaptability are crucial in today’s retail landscape. As a leading shopping destination in Asia, we are well-positioned to continue attracting a dedicated clientele and preparing to welcome international visitors as travel resumes.”
