Valiram Group confirms luxury retail breakthrough with Resorts World at Sentosa

SINGAPORE. The Valiram Group today confirmed its appointment, first revealed last week by The Moodie Report, as the exclusive and sole luxury retail operator of Resorts World at Sentosa, Singapore.

The company said: “This strategic collaboration signifies the Valiram Group’s strength as one of the region’s leading luxury goods retailer and travel-retail specialist, as it adds onto its portfolio a world-class integrated casino-retail project.”

Resorts World at Sentosa is a lush 49-hectare integrated resort on Singapore's holiday island of Sentosa. It is due to open early next year.

Resorts World at Sentosa will own and operate all other key attractions at the resort, including six hotels, a casino, Southeast Asia’s first and only Universal Studios Singapore theme park, Marine Life Park, and a host of other family entertainment amenities and offerings.

Valiram said: “The approximately 30,000sq ft of luxury retail space will include an exciting line-up of über luxury brands, ranging from the best jewellers and fine watchmaking brands to leading fashion houses.

Additionally, it will include an exclusive Swiss Watch Gallery concept which showcases the best of Swiss watchmaking as well as a modern beauty hall which will include all major fragrance and cosmetics brands.”

The luxury retail esplanade is nestled within a linkway connecting all the three major hotels – Festive Hotel, Hotel Michael and the ultra-deluxe Maxims Tower. It is designed to provide a seamless luxury shopping experience for discerning international visitors.

Ashvin Valiram, Director of the Valiram Group, said: “We are extremely excited and honoured to be partnering the Genting Group in this world-class project slated to open in the first quarter of 2010. Luxury Fashion at Resorts World at Sentosa will bring together some of the world’s most sought-after iconic luxury brands in a distinctive and stylish environment.

“This project will encompass our experience, commitment and ability in creating exciting cutting-edge retail concepts, which we have now done successfully across many cities in South East Asia and Australia.”

"We believe their deep understanding of the luxury retail sphere, coupled with their skills to create exceptional retail environments, will offer visitors a compelling and exciting luxurious shopping experience which is unique, imaginative and unparalleled.”
