Raffles Sentosa Singapore

Raffles Sentosa Singapore is Singapore’s first all-villa resort and only the second Raffles property in the country since the original Raffles Hotel opened in 1887. Set on a hilltop site of approximately 100,000 sqm on Sentosa Island, the resort comprises 62 pool villas across four categories, Garden, Signature, Sunset, and Royal, meandering down a hillside toward the South China Sea, with configurations varying across villas of the same category due to the site’s sloped terrain.

Each villa is designed for indoor-outdoor living, with a private pool, terrace, and tropical garden, alongside interconnecting villa options for guests travelling together who still want private space. Shared facilities are distributed across the sprawling grounds rather than concentrated in a single building, including six restaurants and bars, a spa, fitness centre, a central swimming pool, and two ballrooms, one with a terrace overlooking the South China Sea, connected by internal roads served by a fleet of buggies.

Distributing 62 individually configured villas, each with its own pool and garden, across a sloped 100,000 sqm hillside site alongside a separate cluster of dining, wellness, and event facilities required the terrain, drainage, and villa-to-villa privacy sightlines to be resolved collectively across the site, rather than treating each villa as a standalone unit.
