Luxury resorts descend on Sentosa
Jul 6 - 12, 2007 / No.1524
SINGAPORE’S resort island is a hive of activity with new hotel openings and several properties under construction.
The island’s latest addition is Amara Sanctuary Resort, which soft-opened on May 3. This is the Amara group’s first resort under its Sanctuary brand.
The 121-room property was developed at a cost of S$60 million (US$38.9 million), and is spread over 3.5 hectares of tropical gardens set on a hill.
Within its hotel wing is a spacious, light-filled lobby, deluxe rooms and a rooftop infinity pool overlooking the sea.
The Veranda and Courtyard suites are housed in the former quarters of the British army. Four-poster beds, wooden floors and amenities with a local flavour such as straw slippers add charm and character.
Newly built one- and two-room villas have small gardens with banana and other fruit trees. The staff will pick ripe fruit for guests.
Those who picnic on the resort’s grassy lawns or laze by the two pools situated under the canopy of tropical trees that are more than 100 years old, may glimpse the resort’s resident peacock and his family as they stroll the grounds.
Guests can eat well without having to leave the resort. Si Bon is a charming boutique Japanese restaurant located in a small brick building that was formerly the British army’s chapel. Then there is fine dining Thai restaurant, Thanying. It has a garden where lemongrass, basil, mint and other herbs are harvested for each day’s menu. Chefs impart their tips and techniques at the restaurant’s cooking school.
The restaurant Shutters has a contemporary setting and is open 24/7.
In the coming months, the resort will open a spa and its beachfront restaurant, Silk Road of the Sea.
Another property on Sentosa which opened recently is Siloso Beach Resort. This 182-room resort is set amid lush tropical greenery. Each of its double-storey suites has a private rooftop jacuzzi.
The resort has maintained the natural environment of the area, building elevated boardwalks that snake around century-old trees.
Guests have access to Siloso beach, across from the resort’s main building.
And in late-2008, the 186-room Mövenpick Treasure Resort Sentosa, the hotel brand’s first property in Singapore, will open.Work has also begun on Resorts World at Sentosa, Singapore’s second integrated resort. Come 2010, its six hotels will add 1,830 rooms to the island’s inventory.
