Raffles Hotels & Resorts has welcomed the first guests for the highly-anticipated Raffles Sentosa Singapore. Set within 100,000 square metres of tropical greenery on Sentosa Island, the resort – created in collaboration with the Royal Group – thoughtfully blends natural beauty with impeccable hospitality, building on the rich legacy of the storied Raffles brand, which was founded in Singapore in 1887.
“Through the debut of this resort, we are introducing an elegant all-villa offering on Sentosa Island, where guests can immerse themselves in nature while embracing tranquility and wellbeing,” said Omer Acar, CEO, Raffles Hotels & Resorts. “We look forward to creating magical moments in an exquisite setting, highlighting the beauty of this unique island destination while delivering exceptional hospitality.”
“This is a very special moment for us as we proudly launch Raffles Sentosa Singapore, the Republic’s first all-villa resort,” said Bobby Hiranandani, Co-Chairman of the Royal Group. “We are honoured to have been entrusted with continuing the distinguished Raffles legacy, particularly here in Singapore where this iconic brand was born and still has such a special place in everyone’s hearts.”
A 15-minute drive from the city’s Central Business District, the resort is perched on a hilltop surrounded by the lush greenery of Sentosa Island, Asia’s first Global Sustainable Tourism Council-certified island destination.
Raffles Sentosa Singapore features 62 villas, each with a private pool and outdoor terrace, ranging from a one-bedroom 211 square metre villa to the four-bedroom 650 square metre Royal Villa. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of the verdant landscaping, while a harmonious blend of natural materials and intricate textures creates a seamless tie between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The immersive experience serves to connect guests to the resort’s tranquil landscape, which is home to distinct flora and fauna, such as two majestic heritage Ficus trees, and a magnificent muster of resident peacocks. Guests of the resort will also enjoy the legendary Raffles Butler service, ensuring that their every need is met with impeccable care. For a grand arrival, guests can arrange to be chauffeured up a meandering driveway in one of the resort’s Rolls-Royce limousines.
Raffles Sentosa Singapore is home to five exceptional restaurants and lounges, showcasing a diverse array of global cuisines and culinary talent.
“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,” said 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.”
