Raffles Sentosa Singapore: A New Era of Luxury on Sentosa Island

Pressrelease -

Raffles Hotels & Resorts has officially opened Raffles Sentosa Singapore, the country’s first all-villa resort. Nestled within 100,000 square meters of tropical greenery on Sentosa Island, this highly anticipated retreat blends natural beauty with Raffles’ signature hospitality. As only the second Raffles property in Singapore, it builds on the brand’s rich legacy, which began with the iconic Raffles Singapore in 1887.

A Private Retreat Just Minutes from the City

Located just 15 minutes from Singapore’s Central Business District, Raffles Sentosa Singapore offers a serene sanctuary away from the city’s hustle. The resort sits atop a lush hill, part of Sentosa Island’s Global Sustainable Tourism Council-certified landscape, providing guests with privacy, exclusivity, and a deep connection to nature.

Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, the resort features 62 private villas, each with its own pool and outdoor terrace. Villas range from one-bedroom (211 sqm) to the four-bedroom Royal Villa (650 sqm), designed to blend seamlessly with their surroundings. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views of the island’s greenery, while interiors use natural materials and rich textures to create a tranquil, immersive experience. The resort is also home to heritage Ficus trees and a resident muster of peacocks, further enhancing its connection to nature.

For a grand arrival, guests can opt for a chauffeured ride up the resort’s winding driveway in a Rolls-Royce limousine, setting the tone for an unforgettable stay.
