Sentosa Island Travel Guide

Singapore
Sentosa Island featuring views and a gondola
For a tropical beach getaway or theme park thrills, Singapore’s resort island offers fun and relaxation for the entire family.

Visit Sentosa Island for a vacation within your Singapore vacation. For a few hours or a few days, enjoy the change of pace as you swap the high rises of downtown for the swaying palm trees of this resort island off the south coast. Come for the kid-focused theme parks and rides or adult-oriented casino and golf, or simply unwind at the beach.

Build an unforgettable vacation for the family with visits to the attractions of Resorts World Sentosa. Universal Studios Singapore features six themed areas built around global cities, ancient worlds, sci-fi and fantasy, all with rides and shows. Enjoy Sentosa’s year-round pleasant weather while trying out the rides at Adventure Cove Waterpark. Pop into nearby Madame Tussauds Singapore to meet celebrities and superheroes.

Adults traveling without kids have just as many options for an enjoyable and memorable time. Fill your days with golf at the two renowned courses of Sentosa Golf Club and your nights with gaming and dining at Resorts World Sentosa Casino. Be pampered at a luxury hotel or spa or even arrange a destination wedding in a grand ballroom or beautiful beach setting.

Explore some of the quieter areas of the island too. Wander through Fort Siloso and across its skywalk to understand the island’s military past, including World War II history. Stroll along the Sentosa Boardwalk adjacent to the bridge connecting to Singapore’s mainland or relax at the sandy stretches of Palawan Beach and Tanjong Beach. Siloso Beach is also where you'll find Mega Adventure Park, which offers thrilling rides on a zip line that travels at 37 miles/hour (60 kilometers/hour) over the island.

While it is very easy to drive to the island via the Sentosa Gateway bridge over the Straits of Singapore, many visitors opt for a scenic trip on the Singapore Cable Car. Enjoy the views along the way and appreciate the panoramic vista at Imbiah Lookout Station. Get around the small island by walking, biking or using the convenient beach shuttle, bus or Sentosa Express monorail.
