Raffles Sentosa Singapore: A New Gateway to Luxurious Relaxation
March 4, 2025, marks a historic moment in Singapore’s hospitality landscape with the grand opening of Raffles Sentosa Singapore, the country’s inaugural all-villa resort. Nestled within an expansive 100,000 square meters of lush greenery on Sentosa Island, this stunning resort perfectly marries nature and luxury, setting a new standard for exceptional hospitality in Asia.
A Blissful Retreat
Raffles Hotels & Resorts leads the way in luxury accommodations with its latest offering, Raffles Sentosa Singapore. The peaceful enclave is strategically located just a short 15-minute drive from the bustling Central Business District of Singapore, making it a perfect getaway without venturing far from the city’s vibrancy. The island itself is renowned as Asia's first Global Sustainable Tourism Council-certified destination, enhancing its appeal as an environmentally conscious choice.
Design and Accommodations
Designed by notable architectural firm Yabu Pushelberg, Raffles Sentosa encompasses 62 elegantly appointed villas. Each villa features a private pool and outdoor terrace, providing guests with their own secluded oasis. The villa sizes range from a spacious one-bedroom layout covering 211 square meters to the luxurious four-bedroom Royal Villa at 650 square meters. The architecture is designed to seamlessly flow from indoor to outdoor spaces, with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing breathtaking views of the verdant gardens and surrounding nature.
Distinct species of flora and fauna enrich the setting, including majestic heritage Ficus trees and a vibrant population of resident peacocks. The presence of such a diverse ecosystem adds to the immersive experience that Raffles aims to create for its guests.
Exceptional Services and Wellbeing
Elevating the experience even further is the legendary Raffles Butler service, committed to fulfilling every guest's needs with personalized care and attention. For a truly grand arrival, guests can choose to be chauffeured in luxury Rolls-Royce limousines along a scenic driveway leading to the resort.
Prioritizing holistic wellbeing, Raffles Sentosa houses the Raffles Sentosa Spa within a beautifully renovated heritage building, featuring 13 treatment rooms. Various wellness treatments are offered, including massage therapies, mindful practices, fitness sessions, and hydrotherapy, all tailored to rejuvenate the spirit and body. Additionally, an on-site fitness center and preferential green fees at the nearby Sentosa Golf Club further enhance relaxation and recreation options.
Culinary Experiences
Culinary enthusiasts will find joy in the diverse dining options available at Raffles Sentosa. The resort is home to five outstanding restaurants, showcasing a blend of global cuisines curated by talented chefs. At the signature Empire Grill, led by Chef Bjoern Alexander, guests can enjoy exquisite modern Italian fare. Royal China, with Executive Chef Ling Heng Yao at the helm, offers refined Cantonese dishes that promise to delight the palate.
