Hotels near Sentosa Island

Sentosa is a 5-square-km resort island just off the southern coast of Singapore, accessed by 700-metre causeway, monorail, or cable car. Once a British military fort and later a fishing community, since the 2000s the island has been redeveloped as Singapore's main leisure destination. The island combines Universal Studios Singapore, S.E.A. Aquarium (one of the world's largest), 3 beach clubs (Tanjong, Palawan, Siloso), the Skyline Luge, and the Resorts World casino.

Universal Studios Singapore S$83 adult; S.E.A. Aquarium S$45. Multi-attraction passes available. The free internal monorail Sentosa Express runs between all major attractions. Beach access free; sun loungers 30-50 SGD. Sentosa entry S$4 by bridge or S$8 by Sentosa Express. Open daily; specific attraction times vary. Allow a full day. The southern Palawan Beach southernmost point of continental Asia marker is a popular photo stop.

Pro Tip: Use the Mount Faber Cable Car (S$35 round-trip) to arrive at Sentosa - the scenic 15-minute ride from the mainland is the best Singapore harbour view. Book the Universal Studios Express Pass online if visiting on a weekend - queues regularly exceed 2 hours on major rides.
