Rainforest fringe refuge
Positioned along the island rainforest perimeter, the resort trades the energy of nearby theme parks for quiet tropical greenery.
What it’s good at

Free-form garden pool and shuttle connections to neighboring Sentosa attractions and aquarium dining.

What they say
Also in Tatler.
A more secluded stay amid a tropical rain forest is offered at the Equarius Hotel, in which select rooms extend to a small courtyard.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set on the quieter edge of Sentosa, the hotel operates regular resort shuttles to Universal Studios Singapore and Adventure Cove Waterpark.
The rooms
Balconies look out over the rainforest canopy, while two-story Ocean Suites feature submerged bedrooms peering directly into the marine habitat.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The free-form lap pool winds through landscaped tropical gardens, with select ground-floor rooms stepping straight from deck to water.
At the table
Ocean Restaurant looks out through floor-to-ceiling aquarium panels, and Feng Shui Inn prepares Cantonese dim sum from an open kitchen.
How it began
Michael Graves Architecture conceived the property in 2012 as an eco-conscious retreat positioned at the perimeter of Sentosa's natural forest.
