Raffles Sentosa Singapore, the country’s first all-villa resort located on Sentosa Island, officially opened its doors this month. Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, holistic wellbeing is at the forefront of the resort experience.

“Through the debut of this resort, we are introducing an elegant all-villa offering on Sentosa Island, where guests can immerse themselves in nature while embracing tranquility and wellbeing. We look forward to creating magical moments in an exquisite setting, highlighting the beauty of this unique island destination while delivering exceptional hospitality,” said Omer Acar, CEO, Raffles Hotels & Resorts.

Each of the villas boast a private pool and outdoor terrace, ranging from one bedroom to four. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the lush landscaping. Raffles Butler service is available to guests of the resort.

“This is a very special moment for us as we proudly launch Raffles Sentosa Singapore, the Republic’s first all-villa resort,” said Bobby Hiranandani, co-chairman, Royal Group. “We are honored to have been entrusted with continuing the distinguished Raffles legacy, particularly here in Singapore where this iconic brand was born and still has such a special place in everyone’s hearts.”

The Raffles Sentosa Spa offers 13 treatment rooms and an expansive fitness center. Preferential greens fees are available at Sentosa Golf Club, across from the resort. The resort features five restaurants and lounges, including Empire Grill, Royal China, Iyasaka by Hashida, Raffles Room and Chairman’s Room. State-of-the-art ballrooms can seat up to 400.

“We look forward to welcoming guests and local visitors to enjoy Raffles Sentosa Singapore, a distinct retreat in one of the world’s most exciting cities. While just a short distance from Central Singapore, this private sanctuary offers a serene escape where guests can connect with nature while indulging in the world-class hospitality for which Raffles is renowned,” said Cavaliere Giovanni Viterale, cluster general manager, Raffles Sentosa Singapore and Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa.

The Welcome Home offer includes private round-trip transfers, daily breakfast for two at Empire Grill and a complimentary Sentosa Sling, available for bookings through May 31, on stays through Sept. 30.
