Artful Escapes: Raffles Sentosa
Under the vision of Yabu Pushelberg, this idyllic resort off the coast of Singapore is all about nature and wellness
Nature and wellness are the focus of this idyllic resort, designed by Yabu Pushelberg on a small island off Singapore’s southern coast. Sited among 25 acres of a hillside tropical forest with views of the South China Sea, Raffles Sentosa Singapore features 62 villas that embody indoor-outdoor living. Here, resident peacocks freely roam gardens peppered with 100-year-old ficus trees. A world-class spa, housed in a converted heritage British barracks, boasts 13 treatment rooms and a holistic program that blends traditional healing practices with modern techniques. Guests also have direct access to picturesque Tanjong Beach, and the legendary Raffles butler service can organize birdwatching and a variety of nature experiences.
