The great escape: Where to stay in Sentosa for your next island getaway

For families: Equarius Villas

For families seeking space, seclusion, and an upscale staycation experience, Equarius Villas will certainly tick all those boxes with its charming blend of luxury and tranquillity. The one-bedroom villa includes a private sun deck and access to a free-form pool. The more generously sized two-bedroom and three-bedroom villas come complete with a private swimming pool with scenic views overlooking the ocean—perfect for bigger families and groups. Whichever villa you choose, rest assured that you’ll be in for a truly relaxing stay as you revel in the lavish amenities and are waited on by your own personal butler. 

For romantic getaways: Equarius Ocean Suites

Valentine’s Day may be over but you don’t need an excuse or occasion to whisk your partner off to a romantic getaway. Our hideaway of choice? Equarius Ocean Suites, arguably one of the most unique accommodation options in Sentosa. Each of the 11 exclusive suites is designed as a deluxe two-storey townhouse with an open living area, outdoor patio, and a Jacuzzi on the upper level. The pièce de résistance, however, is located downstairs, boasting a private underwater view of over 40,000 marine animals in the bedroom. We can’t think of anything more intimate or romantic than being cocooned in this luxurious suite for a night (or two) with your loved one.

For nature lovers: Equarius TreeTop Lofts

Rarely does one get the chance to commune with nature in a city like Singapore. The Equarius TreeTop Lofts is an exclusive private hideaway that offers serenity seekers a slice of tropical paradise. Perched 12 metres up in the treetop canopies, the one-bedroom lofts meld comfort with rustic charm with luxurious yet spacious interiors that are designed to bring the outdoors within—including a four-poster bed, bathtub and spacious living area for lounging. Nature lovers will not want to miss the outdoor deck; it is the perfect spot for breakfast or candlelight dinners while taking in the awe-inspiring views.

For work and play: Hotel Ora

Staycations aren’t always just for rest and relaxation; sometimes you need a space that will get your creative juices flowing. Making its debut in Sentosa is the newly-revamped Hotel Ora. This next big bleisure (business-leisure) destination is designed to spark creativity and inspire ideas with mobile and smart co-working amenities spread across two levels of communal and hybrid spaces, as well as a 24-hour Grab & Go café where guests can pick up freshly-brewed coffee and healthy snacks whenever they need a quick recharge. Each of its 389 contemporary guest rooms is also outfitted with complimentary Wi-Fi and a work-friendly table. Be sure to check out the specially-commissioned artworks by local artists Zoe Tan and MG Kumar, which feature vibrant motifs that are synonymous with Singapore's rich culture.

Whether you’re a digital nomad or need a conducive place for corporate retreats, Hotel Ora offers the perfect blend of productivity and relaxation. What’s more, it places sustainability at the forefront, boasting a host of green initiatives such as eco-friendly packaging, communal water stations, motion sensors, and electricity-efficient fans throughout the hotel.
