Singapore Introduces Raffles Sentosa Singapore Redefining Island Luxury

Published on March 19, 2025

Singapore unveils Raffles Sentosa Singapore, redefining island luxury with unmatched elegance, world-class hospitality, and an exclusive tropical retreat.

A new era of luxury has arrived in Singapore with the grand opening of Raffles Sentosa Singapore, the country’s first-ever all-villa resort. Spanning an impressive 100,000 square meters of lush tropical landscape on Sentosa Island, this highly anticipated destination seamlessly merges nature, exclusivity, and Raffles’ legendary hospitality. As only the second Raffles property in Singapore, following the historic Raffles Singapore established in 1887, this opulent retreat sets a new benchmark for indulgent escapes.

An Exclusive Oasis Just Moments from the City
Tucked away atop a verdant hill, Raffles Sentosa Singapore is a 15-minute drive from Singapore’s bustling Central Business District. Despite its proximity to the city, the resort is an intimate sanctuary, offering unparalleled privacy and tranquility within Sentosa’s Global Sustainable Tourism Council-certified environment.

Designed by renowned design firm Yabu Pushelberg, the resort’s 62 ultra-private villas range from 211-square-meter one-bedroom residences to the palatial 650-square-meter four-bedroom Royal Villa. Every villa is a sanctuary in itself, complete with a private pool, spacious outdoor terrace, and floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the surrounding tropical greenery. The natural elegance of the interiors, paired with heritage Ficus trees and free-roaming peacocks, enhances the resort’s immersive connection to nature.

For an extravagant arrival, guests can opt for a Rolls-Royce limousine transfer, ensuring a grand entrance to this one-of-a-kind retreat.

A Holistic Wellness Haven
At the heart of the resort’s wellness offerings is the Raffles Sentosa Spa, set in a beautifully restored heritage building. This state-of-the-art facility houses 13 treatment rooms and provides a comprehensive wellness experience, incorporating elements of mindfulness, hydrotherapy, fitness, and bespoke spa rituals.

Guests can also enjoy a modern fitness center, exclusive green fees at Sentosa Golf Club, and direct access to the pristine shores of Tanjong Beach, ensuring a holistic approach to well-being.

A Culinary Destination Like No Other
Gastronomy takes center stage at Raffles Sentosa Singapore, with five distinctive dining experiences curated by celebrated chefs:

Empire Grill – Modern Italian cuisine by Chef Bjoern Alexander

For a more personalized experience, guests can indulge in private in-villa dining, poolside meals, or beachfront feasts at Tanjong Beach. Adding a signature touch to the resort’s cocktail culture, the Sentosa Sling—a sustainable reinvention of the original Singapore Sling, first crafted in 1915 at Raffles Singapore—features upcycled watermelon skin and homegrown lemon leaves.

The Ultimate Venue for Luxury Events & Celebrations
