What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Dark timber paneling, exposed beams, leather campaign furniture and high ceilings give the rooms a deliberate old-world aesthetic.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set atop Palawan Ridge, the secluded colonial compound offers quiet elevation above the island, just a short buggy ride from Palawan Beach.
The rooms
Leather campaign furniture pairs with dark timber beams and stone soaking tubs, while ground-floor suites open directly onto the pool.
The lap pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Two 30-metre lap pools flank the central lawn, bordered by sun loungers and semi-private jacuzzi pods.
The gym
Full-height windows look out across the grounds, lighting a fitness room equipped with treadmills and cardio machines.
Restaurant
The Living Room
The lounge serves à la carte breakfast with Prosecco, bespoke tea blending sessions, and evening cocktails with canapés.
How it began
Constructed in 1904 as a British artillery outpost on Pulau Blakang Mati, the two-storey barracks later housed the Sentosa Tourism Academy.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
