Zentosa LiveWELL Festival to return on Jun 10; ‘Physical 100’ star Choo Sung-hoon to make appearance

The Zentosa LiveWELL Festival will return for its second edition at Sentosa from Jun 10 to Jul 25.

Organised by the Sentosa Development Corporation and running in collaboration with the Wellness Festival Singapore, the Zentosa LiveWELL Festival will offer a multitude of activities that are categorised into five holistic pillars of wellness.

The pillars are BondWELL, dedicated to family bonding activities; PlayWELL, which promotes physical wellbeing; RestWELL, which encourages digital detox; EatWELL, which offers healthier food options; and the new emotional wellness pillar FeelWELL.

With over 250 activities available, this year’s festival highlights mental wellness and the positive effects of strong lasting relationships.

The event will kick off on Jun 10 with a 5km Discovery Walk at Palawan Green where guests can discover more about Sentosa’s coastal and natural history.

Choo Sung-hoon, also known as “Sexyama” from the reality competition series Physical: 100, will flag off the walk.

Here are some of the activities that will be featured at the festival:

Festival-goers can look forward to health-related talks, healthy food, and free music programmes such as Jazz by the Beach.

F&B options will also be available at the Market Hall for those seeking healthy and nourishing options.

The Body Shop Singapore will conduct yoga sessions at the Festival Village featuring instructor Brandon Chong.

The new wellness pillar will exhibit an interactive art installation and poetry created by local artists Kult Studio & Gallery and Charlene Shepherdson, in collaboration with the National Arts Council and National Heritage Board.

The installation, The Way to Wellness, can be found in three tunnels at Fort Siloso.

The exhibition begins at Fort Siloso’s Tunnel C near Siloso Point, where visitors are invited to centre themselves in a deconstructed Zen garden and reflect upon their life journey so far.

Subsequently, visitors will go through Tunnel B where they confront themselves and their lifestyle. Visitors symbolically “cleanse” themselves as they exit and start afresh on a blank slate.

The installation ends in Tunnel A, where visitors are invited to fill their lives with colours representing various aspects of mental wellness.

Throughout each tunnel, visitors will also get to experience Charlene Shepherdson’s literary works and appreciate the series of narratives and poems created by the artist.

Admission to the exhibition is free of charge.

Priced at $18 per person, visitors can recharge in nature by strolling through the Therapeutic Forest at Imbiah Trail from Jun 10 to 25.

Visitors can also participate in various nostalgic games such as Five Stones, Chapteh, Jenga, Gasing, and Snakes and Ladders, at Imbiah Forecourt from Jun 10 to 25.

Along the way, they can explore the nature paths of Sentosa while discovering fun facts about the island’s geography and biodiversity.

The activities are free and will run from 10am to 5pm.

A selection of workout classes are available for visitors who are looking to get active. Some of them include sessions with Yoga instructor Yenny Christine to learn about enhancing spinal flexibility on Jun 23 and 24.

Celebrity coach Jacob Manning will also teach a class about the fundamentals of calisthenics and yoga on Jun 18 from 11am to 12pm.

Admission for both classes cost $15 per person.

Those who are looking for high-intensity workouts can opt to join Fight Do, a class that combines boxing and martial arts.

Taught by True Fitness instructors Yati and Faizah, the session is meant to simulate a multi-opponent fighting environment.

The class will take place on Jun 17 from 6pm to 7pm, priced at $10 per person.

From Jun 10 to Jul 9, a complimentary guided tour with Scentopia will be held from 11am to 6pm for visitors to make their own perfume.

Visitors will get to take a personality quiz beforehand to discover their scent preferences and create their own signature fragrance.

Parents can also enjoy a 100ml orchid-perfume making package including a free package worth $125 for one child.

Those who are looking for healthier menu choices can dine at eateries such as Rumours Beach Club, Siloso Beach Resort, Quayside Isle, and more. 

Rumours Beach Club offers food such as Beef Short Ribs made with carbon neutral beef, Garden Salad, and a burger served with impossible meat, which is a plant-based substitute for meat products.

Tickets for the activities at Zentosa LiveWELL Festival Village will go on sale from May 18 (Thursday) onwards. Sentosa Islander members can enjoy a 20 per cent discount off their bookings.
