Singapore’s hospitality scene rises to new heights with the opening of Raffles Sentosa Singapore, the country’s first all-villa luxury resort.
Raffles Hotels & Resorts has officially unveiled Raffles Sentosa Singapore, its ultra-luxurious resort island retreat on Sentosa.
Located just 15 minutes away from Singapore’s bustling Central Business District, Raffles Sentosa Singapore is the Lion City’s first-ever all-villa resort, offering a total of 62 villas ranging from a one-bedroom 211 square metre villa to the sprawling four-bedroom 650 square metre Royal Villa. Set atop a hilltop amidst the island’s verdant tropical greenery, the exclusive sanctuary seamlessly blends nature and heritage while promising the refined elegance and impeccable hospitality the Raffles brand is known for.
“We look forward to welcoming guests and local visitors to enjoy Raffles Sentosa Singapore, a distinct retreat in one of the world’s most exciting cities,” says Cavaliere Giovanni Viterale, Cluster General Manager of Raffles Sentosa Singapore and Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa.
“While just a short distance from central Singapore, this private sanctuary offers a serene escape where guests can connect with nature while indulging in the world-class hospitality for which Raffles is renowned,” he adds.
Designed by acclaimed international design studio Yabu Pushelberg, the resort’s private villas exude understated opulence, each featuring expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, a private pool, and an outdoor terrace, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and the breathtaking natural surroundings.
