Singapore’s hospitality scene is set to reach new heights with the upcoming launch of Raffles Sentosa Singapore, the country’s first all-villa resort. Opening its doors on March 1, 2025, this luxurious retreat is a celebration of Raffles heritage with contemporary island living.
Ultra-Private Escape: 62 Villas, Each a Personal Sanctuary
Nestled within 100,000 square meters of tropical landscape on Sentosa Island, the resort features 62 exclusive villas designed by acclaimed studio Yabu Pushelberg. Each villa comes with its own private pool and outdoor terrace, creating an intimate sanctuary that seamlessly connects with the island’s lush landscape.
For those seeking respite from Singapore’s urban energy, the resort offers direct access to the pristine Tanjong Beach. The property’s strategic hilltop location provides a secluded retreat while remaining just 15 minutes from the city center – perfect for both tourists and locals seeking a quick getaway.
Culinary enthusiasts will find themselves spoiled for choice with five distinct dining venues. The Empire Grill, helmed by Cluster Director of Culinary Chef Bjoern Alexander, serves as the resort’s signature Italian restaurant. Other offerings include refined Cantonese cuisine at Royal China and an exclusive Japanese omakase experience at Iyasaka by Hashida.
In a nod to its heritage, the resort has created its own interpretation of the iconic Singapore Sling. The Sentosa Sling, crafted with sustainability in mind, incorporates upcycled watermelon skin and lemon leaves harvested from the resort’s own gardens.
Wellness seekers will appreciate the Raffles Sentosa Spa, thoughtfully housed in a transformed heritage landmark building. Golf enthusiasts haven’t been forgotten either, with preferential access to the adjacent Sentosa Golf Club.
The resort is currently accepting bookings for its Welcome Home experience, with rates starting from S$1,698 per villa per night. The package includes private round-trip transfers and daily breakfast for two at Empire Grill, available for stays between March 1 and September 30, 2025.
