Amara Sanctuary Sentosa occupies a set of old military quarters on Sentosa Island, wrapped in tropical gardens. The resort's official website describes the site as originally a British military outpost and says the resort "artfully preserves its historical architecture", so many guests sleep in restored colonial-style buildings rather than a modern tower. Amara Hotels' own group page sums the property up as 140 rooms and suites that "blend vintage colonial charm with modern comforts", with villas, infinity pools and a Glass Pavilion used for intimate events.
Traveloka's listing classifies Amara Sanctuary Sentosa as a 5-star resort at 1 Larkhill Road, Sentosa Island, Singapore 099394, with 140 rooms spread over four floors. The listing records 2007 as the property's built year and 2024 as its most recent renovation, and notes that the resort was previously named Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa, which is useful to know if you come across the older name on maps or in past travel notes. In the lobby, the official site highlights a four-metre-tall "Everfresh Tree", and it also offers a Heritage Trail experience for guests curious about the buildings' past.
The result is a resort that feels quieter and greener than the big integrated developments elsewhere on the island, while still sitting within easy reach of Sentosa's theme parks, beaches and attractions. It suits couples looking for a pool suite, families who want a quad room or a villa, and event planners who need garden venues and meeting space in one place.
The official site lists a ladder of rooms, suites and villas, from garden-view rooms up to two-bedroom pool villas. Room names and the exact options on sale can differ slightly on Traveloka's booking page, so compare the room description shown at checkout with the summary below.
The entry-level category on the official room list. Each Deluxe Room is about 37 square metres, set in the part of the resort called The Sanctuary, with a king bed or two twin beds for up to two guests. The resort describes it as having a garden view, modern amenities and high-speed internet.
Also about 37 square metres, with a king or two twin beds, but with space for up to three guests and a private balcony. The official site says the balcony looks out towards the South China Sea, making this the room to pick if a sea outlook matters more than extra floor space.
A 37-square-metre room fitted with one king bed and two single beds for up to four guests. The resort pitches it at small groups or families who want to share one room rather than book two. Traveloka's listing also notes that connecting rooms and family rooms are available at the property, so larger groups can ask about linking rooms.
A 64-square-metre studio with a king bed for up to three guests, located in one of the colonial heritage buildings. Its main feature is a private outdoor verandah, and the resort describes it as blending historical character with modern conveniences.
About 58 square metres with a king bed for up to three guests, set in the Larkhill Terrace wing. As the name suggests, the suite opens directly onto a pool, and the official site positions it as a couples' choice.
A 63-square-metre suite on the second floor of Larkhill Terrace with a king bed for up to four guests, a cosy living room and a private outdoor verandah. Junior Suite and Couple Suite guests share access to the Larkhill Terrace Pool, which the resort describes as an exclusive infinity pool.
The Verandah Suite is about 72 square metres with a king bed for up to four guests and generous living space in a colonial-style heritage building. The Courtyard Suite is larger again, around 96 square metres with a king bed for up to three guests, and comes with a private courtyard and a jacuzzi inside a restored colonial building.
The top of the ladder is a pair of villa types, each with its own private pool. The One-Bedroom Pool Villa is about 201 square metres with a king bed for up to four guests, set in landscaped gardens, while the Two-Bedroom Pool Villa is about 230 square metres and sleeps up to six, surrounded by greenery.
On in-room features, Traveloka's facility list for the property includes air conditioning, a desk, TV with cable channels, a hairdryer, bathrobes, a minibar, an in-room safe, a shower, and in some rooms a bathtub or separate shower and tub. These are property-wide entries, so check the individual room description on the listing for the exact features of the category you book. Room voltage is listed as 220.
The resort's leisure facilities lean towards swimming, wellness and outdoor activity. According to the official facilities page, there are three outdoor pools, open daily from 7am to 8pm:
Traveloka's listing also shows a children's pool, pool sun loungers and beach towels, which helps families who split their day between the resort and the island's beaches.
Beyond the pools, the official site lists:
Traveloka's facility data adds a garden, terrace, shops, bicycle rental and cycling, plus cribs and highchairs for younger children. For events, the listing includes conference rooms, meeting facilities, a projector, a photocopier, a banquet and reception hall, and a wedding service, while the Amara Hotels group page mentions the heritage-inspired Glass Pavilion for smaller gatherings.
Services listed on Traveloka include a 24-hour receptionist, 24-hour security, concierge, multilingual staff, luggage storage, laundry service, express check-out, and room service during limited hours. Free WiFi is listed, with WiFi also available in public areas. On accessibility, the listing shows wheelchair access, an accessible path of travel, accessible parking, accessible bathrooms and in-room accessibility features; guests with specific needs should confirm the details for their room type before arrival.
Amara Sanctuary Sentosa sits at 1 Larkhill Road in the hilly centre of Sentosa Island. The official site describes it as about a 10-minute drive from Singapore's central business and shopping districts, and close to Universal Studios Singapore and Sentosa's other attractions.
Traveloka's facility list includes an airport transfer marked as a surcharge service, but the listing's transfer flag is not switched on, so contact the resort directly if you want a transfer arranged rather than assuming one is bookable through Traveloka.
Dining is one of the resort's stronger points, with several outlets named on the official restaurants page:
Traveloka's listing records breakfast service from 7am to 10:30am, with buffet, continental and à la carte options among the listed meal types, and an extra charge per guest for additional breakfasts. The listing also notes vegetarian, gluten-free and dietary menus, set lunches, buffet dinners, snacks and a bar. Smoking is allowed only in designated areas.
Because the resort is a short walk from Imbiah Station, it is easy to combine a meal on site with a day out on the island; browse Sentosa attractions and activities on Traveloka to plan theme park or sightseeing tickets around your dinner reservations.
Few places on Sentosa let you stay inside restored colonial-era buildings while keeping a resort's full set of pools, a spa and several restaurants on the doorstep. Amara Sanctuary Sentosa combines that heritage setting with practical touches: a complimentary shuttle to HarbourFront, a Sentosa Express station a few minutes away on foot, and room types that range from compact garden rooms to private pool villas.
If you are weighing it against bigger resort hotels nearby, it helps to compare other hotels on Traveloka by room size and setting; the Amara's draw is space and greenery rather than a casino or theme-park address.
When your stay is sorted, head back to the Traveloka homepage to bundle flights, attractions and transfers into the same trip.
