Sama Wellness Debuts at The Initial Sama, Expanding Singapore’s Urban Wellness Sanctuary

Cover Projects is proud to announce the official launch of Sama Wellness, a dedicated wellness sanctuary located within The Initial Sama at 26 Evans Road. A holistic retreat in the heart of the city, Sama Wellness introduces a thoughtfully integrated approach to relaxation, recovery, and sustainable wellbeing, offering a holistic urban retreat for residents and visitors alike.

Sama Wellness forms part of The Initial Sama, Singapore’s first wellness-focused serviced residence, offering a restorative environment where design, hospitality, and holistic health come together to support modern lifestyles. The opening represents a significant milestone in the residence’s vision to create a destination where individuals can pause, reset, and reconnect with their well-being.

Shaping Wellness Through Tranquil Amenities

Sama Wellness features a suite of thoughtfully curated facilities that support both relaxation and physical recovery. The space includes dedicated spa treatment rooms, a HYROX affiliate gym, a dental aesthetics clinic, and medical consultation rooms, creating an environment that supports both preventative wellness and restorative care. 

Guests can retreat to the sanctuary of Sama Wellness with massage services starting at SG$170 for 60 minutes of in-house speciality treatments such as Signature Sama and Knots Kneading, while wellness therapies such as the Magnesium Muscle Melt, Zinc-Infused Restoration, and Echinacea Immunity Boost, start at SG$180. Tailored to address modern stressors, each treatment blends therapeutic techniques with mineral-rich formulations to promote muscle recovery, circulation, and overall relaxation.

A selection of curated add-on treatments, including Dry Brushing, Basalt Hot Stone, and Aloe Afterglow, is available from SG$60, allowing guests to tailor their own restorative experience.

Fitness is also integrated into the residence’s broader wellness ecosystem, with the gym equipped with official HYROX equipment alongside high-performance machines from Centr and Concept2. This provides fitness enthusiasts and HYROX athletes with a dedicated space for structured training and performance-focused workouts within the serene abode.

The wellness experience continues through nature-connected spaces across the residence. Guests can rejuvenate within the sensory garden, bathhouse, yoga decks, and swimming pool area, where indoor wellness experiences flow seamlessly into the tranquil outdoor surroundings.

A Serviced Residence Designed for Wellness Living

The wellness experience at The Initial Sama extends beyond treatments to include purposeful spaces that encourage balance in everyday life, from fully furnished suites to coworking lounges that provide a comfortable, inspiring environment for digital nomads to work and recharge. 

Sama Wellness also introduces a Family Membership programme that expands the wellness experience beyond individual visits into everyday lifestyle access. Available from SG$4,800 for a six-month membership and SG$8,280 for a 12-month membership, the programme provides members with round-the-clock gym access, complimentary pool access for families with up to two children, and curated wellness privileges across the property. 

Members also enjoy preferential rates on Sama Wellness, dining at Yara Restaurant, and event bookings, alongside added benefits such as guest passes, flexible membership pauses, and exclusive stay rates at The Initial Sama. Curated with modern families in mind, the programme reflects Sama Wellness’ commitment to fostering shared well-being experiences in a tranquil, community-oriented environment.

“With Sama Wellness, we wanted to create a space where guests can step away from the hustle of the city and focus on their well-being,” said Lim Keong Wee, Co-founder and Managing Director of Cover Projects. “Our goal is to offer an environment where wellness is not an occasional indulgence, but an integrated part of everyday life.” 

The 92-unit serviced residence is not just a place to stay, Sama Wellness complements the broader vision of creating a holistic living for rest, recovery, and extended stays. The Initial Sama’s proximity to leading healthcare institutions such as Gleneagles Hospital and Mount Elizabeth Hospital also positions it well for wellness and medical travellers seeking a calm space for recovery and recuperation.

Honouring Heritage, Redefining Hospitality 

Just steps away from the UNESCO-listed Singapore Botanic Gardens and surrounded by some of Singapore’s leading medical institutions, Sama Wellness sits within one of the city’s most storied addresses. 

The site, formerly home to Eusoff College, was Singapore’s first residential hall for women at the University of Malaya, established in 1958. Today, that legacy of community and progress has been thoughtfully preserved and reimagined as part of The Initial Sama. 

The property, awarded through a redevelopment tender by the Singapore Land Authority back in 2024, retains its colonial-era architectural charm while integrating modern wellness infrastructure, sustainability features, and biophilic design.

The opening of Sama Wellness marks a new chapter for 26 Evans Road, one that blends heritage with the future of wellness hospitality in Singapore.
