Raffles Sentosa Singapore
Sentosa Island, Singapore · Raffles · Grand Luxury
Singapore's first all-villa resort opened in March 2025, when Raffles planted 62 private-pool villas across 100,000 square metres of forested Sentosa hillside. Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, the studio's inaugural collaboration with Raffles and its first resort project, the property is 15 minutes from the CBD, surrounded by resident peacocks and heritage Ficus trees. The spa occupies a restored 1930s British military barracks, and the signature Sentosa Sling is made with upcycled watermelon skin from the kitchens and lemon leaves grown in the garden.

About Raffles Sentosa Singapore
- Yabu Pushelberg designed every element of Raffles Sentosa from master planning and architecture to furniture and art advisory, the studio's first resort project and first Raffles collaboration.
- The spa occupies a restored 1930s British military barracks (formerly Block 59) that once housed Royal Artillery garrison soldiers; the Architectural Heritage Award-winning building retains its original cross-balustrade façade.
- The resort's signature drink, the Sentosa Sling, is made with upcycled watermelon skin from the resort's kitchens and lemon leaves grown in its gardens, a sustainability riff on the 1915 Singapore Sling invented at the original Raffles Long Bar.
- Sentosa Island was renamed from Pulau Blakang Mati, loosely 'the island behind which lies death', in 1972; it is now Asia's first Global Sustainable Tourism Council-certified island destination.
History
Raffles Sentosa Singapore is the second Raffles address in Singapore and the brand’s first all-villa resort on Sentosa. The official site describes it as a new ultra-luxury resort with 62 private pool villas set within tropical rainforest and landscaped hillside terrain, but it does not publish a formal opening date on the property page. The resort emphasizes indoor-outdoor living, interconnecting villas, and a contemporary Singaporean design language with traditional touches. Its positioning as a secluded sanctuary and all-villa format is the defining feature of the property.

The setting
Raffles Sentosa Singapore unfolds across a forested hillside at 4 Bukit Manis Road on Sentosa Island — the 500-hectare resort island renamed from the forbidding Pulau Blakang Mati when Singapore transformed this former Royal Artillery fortress into a leisure destination in the 1970s. Singapore's first all-villa resort, Raffles Sentosa meanders 62 pool villas through tropical rainforest with South China Sea views. Resorts World Sentosa is a 20-minute walk, the city centre just 15 minutes by road — a proximity that makes the deep seclusion here genuinely remarkable.
