Sentosa Island
Sentosa is Singapore’s premier island resort getaway with multi-faceted appeal, teeming with events all year round. Just 15 minutes from the city, it is a unique blend of leisure and recreational facilities including family attractions, sea sports, golf as well as hotel accommodation and retreats. A canopy of secondary rainforest covers 70 per cent of the 500-hectare island and is home to monitor lizards, monkeys, peacocks, parrots as well as other native fauna and flora.
Sentosa has a 3.2-kilometre stretch of white sand beach, and is the only location in Singapore to offer beachfront accommodation and over 670 hotel rooms with full facilities. Accessed by cable car, bus, taxi or car, the island is open for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Since the island’s inception in 1972, S$420 million in private investments and another $500 million from Government funding have gone into developing the island.
Palawan Beach, where a suspension bridge links beach-goers to the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia, or Asia’s closest point to the Equator, boasts beach bars where you can chill out while staying in touch with the rest of the world through wireless internet access. Or check out the other interesting shops and eateries available at this stretch.
Siloso Beach is the home of beach volleyball enthusiasts. The stretch of beach also boasts of dining and shopping outlets, and for those who like their day at the beach more vigorous, engage yourself in other outdoor activities such as canoeing, skim boarding, mountain biking or rollerblading.
Tanjong Beach is a favourite with guests who treasure its tranquility and solitude. Here, armed with your favourite book, you can while away the hours with the sun and a gentle breeze for company. This stretch of beach gets especially romantic by night, with the twinkling lights of ships docked at the nearby port.
