Raffles Sentosa Singapore: All-villa beachfront palace on Tanjong Beach with YÀN, private pool villas, and Yabu Pushelberg design

Cascading across 100,000 square metres of lush beachfront tropical gardens along the golden sands and calm waters of Tanjong Beach on Sentosa Island, Singapore (just 25 minutes from Singapore Changi Airport, 15 minutes from Marina Bay), Raffles Sentosa Singapore opened as Singapore’s first ultra-luxury all-villa grand palace. Masterfully designed by celebrated international design studio Yabu Pushelberg, the intimate 62-villa sanctuary is an oasis of secluded resort elegance. Every single villa features its own private outdoor heated swimming pool, terrace garden, and dedicated Raffles Butler service. Featuring the acclaimed Cantonese dining institution YÀN, the Mediterranean beachfront restaurant Riviera, the iconic Writers Bar, an expansive outdoor heated freshwater main swimming pool, and the holistic Raffles Spa, this property is Sentosa’s ultimate luxury grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Singapore tropical island glamour and beachfront splendour: personal Raffles Butlers greet guests beneath dramatic timber pavilions on Tanjong Beach before entering Yabu Pushelberg’s open-air lobby with reflection lotus ponds, South China Sea breezes, and chilled Singapore Sling-inspired mocktails. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Sentosa island, marine, and golf pursuits: walking directly onto the golden sands of Tanjong Beach for ocean swimming (steps away), playing 36 championship golf holes at the adjacent Sentosa Golf Club (5 minutes away), private yacht charters from ONE°15 Marina at Sentosa Cove (5 minutes away), swimming in your private villa pool, indulging in botanical and orchid therapies at Raffles Spa, enjoying signature cocktails at Writers Bar, and reserving dinner at YÀN.

Palace living balances active Sentosa leisure with serene all-villa tropical wellness: Raffles Spa features private luxury treatment villas, steam rooms, saunas, vitality pools, and therapies utilizing organic botanicals and orchid essences. Dining is an extraordinary Pan-Asian-Mediterranean culinary summit: refined Cantonese gastronomy at YÀN (featuring dim sum, wood-roasted Peking duck, and Chinese Grand Crus), coastal Mediterranean dining at Riviera, signature cocktails at Writers Bar, and private in-villa poolside barbecues.

Accommodations comprise 62 standalone private pool villas styled by Yabu Pushelberg in natural timber, stone, and private furnished sun terraces with private swimming pools ranging from 260 to 900 square metres. Each residence features dedicated 24-hour Raffles Butler service, plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, outdoor rain showers, and custom amenities.
