Sentosa Island

Positioned just off Singapore's southern coast, Sentosa Island is a vibrant leisure destination that combines the allure of a tropical resort with the thrill of advanced entertainment. Encompassing a 500-hectare area, the island basks in Singapore's signature warm, humid climate, where temperatures average between 25-32°C (77-90°F), making it a preferred location for outdoor activities all year round.

Transcending from a quaint fishing village to a global hotspot, the island serves as a testament to Singapore's metamorphosis. It seamlessly blends luxury resort amenities with family-friendly entertainment, resulting in a distinct island paradise that allures both locals and tourists.

What sets Sentosa apart is an array of experiences within a compressed zone. It opens a world of opportunities from the outstanding Universal Studios Singapore to the crystal clear Siloso Beach. The rides on the magnificent Singapore Cable Car offer stunning views of the harbor, and the S.E.A. Aquarium exhibits fascinating aquatic life of more than 100,000 marine species.

Culinary enthusiasts can delve into a broad span of food options ranging from relaxed beachside cafes to Michelin-starred restaurants. Make sure you relish the local seafood at Quayside Isle and unwind with sunset drinks at one of the numerous rooftop bars facing the South China Sea.
