Raffles Sentosa leaves the city behind and goes all in on privacy, with 62 villas spread across tropical hillside.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Tanjong Beach and the coastal golf course sit just downhill, while downtown Singapore remains a fifteen minute drive across the bridge.
The rooms
Standalone villas feature split living and sleeping pavilions, where travertine tiles extend out to private swimming pools and garden cabanas.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 30-meter main resort pool sits high among the rainforest canopy, bordered by green parasols and sun loungers.
The thermal baths
An outdoor rock waterfall pool, hot and cold plunges, and a thermal mud pool sit within the spa courtyard.
The gym
Sheer curtains frame the bright fitness studio, which supports 24-hour training alongside morning yoga, qigong, and sound baths.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
Chairman's Room
Mural-panelled speakeasy doors conceal this intimate cocktail salon, where bartenders pour rare single malts and sustainable Sentosa Slings.
North American studio Yabu Pushelberg transforms the sometimes starchy Raffles formality into something more relaxed.
At the table
Restaurants range from Tuscan grills and refined Cantonese dining to traditional three-tiered afternoon tea in the lounge.
How it began
Conceived as the relaxed granddaughter to Singapore's historic Beach Road grande dame, this hillside resort trades colonial formality for island ease.
