About Sentosa, Singapore

Consider Sentosa for a romantic beach holiday while visiting Singapore. Sentosa is located half a kilometre away from the southern coast of the main island of Singapore and is easy to get to by taxi, light-rail or cable car.

Things to do and see

Promenade along the beachfront, sip cocktails at a beachside bar, relax in the shade under a beach umbrella, join a game of beach volleyball, explore the island on a bike and meet some Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins at the Dolphin Lagoon. Or sample some of the many attractions Sentosa has to offer, including Underwater World, Butterfly Park, Fort Siloso, CineBlast and the four-dimensional theatre at Sentosa’s 4D Magix.

Sentosa Island is also home to a wide range of flora and fauna including monitor lizards, monkeys, peacocks and parrots. Take a stroll along the elevated boardwalk through Imbiah Forest and try to spot long-tailed macaques, squirrels, geckos and some of the 20 species of birds that inhabit this secondary rainforest, which covers almost 70 per cent of the island.

Accommodation
Unwind in comfort at one of the island’s several resorts, such as the luxurious five-star Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa Resort or the Sentosa Resort and Spa. Both resorts are set in landscaped hilltop gardens overlooking the blue waters of the South China Sea.
