Once you step afoot this island, you can find your own slice of paradise among the many exciting attractions - history and culture come alive, entertainment by day and night, lush green surroundings to explore, manicured gardens, dancing fountains and two challenging international 18-hole golf courses with scenic undulating views.
Sentosa Island is worth a full day's (and night's) visit (in fact, if you have the time, you should allocate at least 2 days to this island). Here, you can dine on sumptuous lobster laksa, play beach volleyball by a bar then quench your thirst with a frozen margarita, or simply chill out at a spa shrouded in lush greenery.

The island is now a themed attraction, tropical resort, nature park and heritage centre all rolled into one! Just minutes away from the city by cable car, ferry or road, Singapore's Island Resort is a 390-hectare recreational jewel boasting a kaleidoscope of attractions and activities. Plans are on the way for Singapore's second Integrated Resort to be build here in this island (the first one is at Marina Bay).
