Playful Moment at the Resorts World Sentosa Singapore

Hotel Michael’s pool

Sprawled across part of the Sentosa Island, just south of Singapore, the lush tropical forests dotted by domes, towers and roller coasters opens up the view to Resorts World Sentosa. Out of the six hotels, art lovers will be happy at the Hotel Michael and its maple-hued rooms, artistic accessories, fine furnishings and mural-adorned walls; Universal Studios Singapore lies right next door.

The cool kids, however, should jam it out at the Hard Rock Hotel Singapore with free music streaming and a Fender-guitar library featuring 20 choices. The hotel’s Sessions restaurant is known for its crab lunches and dinner served in spicy Singaporean style or in bucketful Louisiana style.

For families with young children, the perfect rooms are at the Festive Hotel’s Deluxe Family King room featuring an additional loft bed; Festive’s location is also closer to the underwater world at the S.E.A. Aquarium. This hotel is the only one in the resort that has a separate kid’s pool and wet-play area away from the large pool with cabanas around.

In line with the tropical climate, the Beach Villas offer one- to three-bedroom private residences with views either of a free-form pool, or fresh forest surroundings, or the harbour. Larger villas include massage and steam rooms, plus a private lap pool, while the one-bedroom room gets a private Jacuzzi. All of them are served by personal butlers with personalised in-villa check-ins.

More luxurious suites and villas are available at Crockfords Tower with panoramic views of the resort’s landscape, or the harbour with the iconic Merlion statue in sight. Private spa treatments and steam rooms, an impressive wine cellar and impeccable butler service are just for starters—the villas come with a garden and a lounge pool.

A more secluded stay amid a tropical rain forest is offered at the Equarius Hotel, in which select rooms extend to a small courtyard. Meanwhile, the pool room type has a direct access to the hotel’s lap pool. Right across from Equarius Hotel is ESPA—Singapore’s largest luxury spa featuring the country’s first authentic Turkish hammam or steam bath.

Other facilities in the 10,000sqm spa are 24 treatment rooms, onsen-style pools and vitality pools, steam and sauna rooms, a sleeping zone, a nail studio, a large gym and a studio for yoga, Pilates or meditation. The healthy lifestyle is further emphasised at the Tangerine Spa Café that serves healthy, delicious and visually-pleasing spa cuisine prepared by Chef Ian Kittichai.

Next, indulge a little at Curate, a venue by Michelin Guide Singapore and Robert Parker Wine, which is designed to showcase visiting Michelin-starred chefs’ unique talents at its Art at Curate series. Four chefs are highlighted each year, and, in the periods between, resident chefs will continue the menus.
