If your 9 to 5 grind has got you feeling burnt out, a fun-filled getaway to Sentosa Island is just what the doctor ordered. Sentosa is Singapore’s premier island resort just off the southern coast. The 500-hectare man-made island is a former military base that has been completely transformed into a wonderland jam-packed with attractions, sensational (and award winning) spa retreats, rainforests and blissful stretches of golden beaches. To get here, you can catch a cable car from the mainland, however those that prefer four wheels can drive, or there are plenty of public transport options including an express monorail. Once here, watch your worries melt away as you take in the tranquillity, or take a leisurely stroll along the Sentosa Boardwalk. For visitors with little humans in tow, Sentosa Island offers the perfect fuss-free family getaway. Do yourself (and the fam) a favour and book a room at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), which takes the concept of a hotel and then steps it up several notches to include two casinos, Universal Studios Singapore theme park, the Adventure Cove Waterpark as well as the S.E.A Aquarium, the world’s largest oceanarium and marine life park, across 50 hectares. Keen to swap highchairs for the high life? Sentosa is also home to Singapore’s most iconic hotel, Marina Bay Sands. Treat yourself to a taste of supreme luxury with a dip in the world’s largest Infinity Pool before wining and dining at one of the hotel’s 45 restaurants that span the culinary spectrum from local to international cuisine. In Malay, Sentosa translates to peace and tranquillity, which is precisely what you will find in abundance.
