Amara Sanctuary

Sentosa Island


The five-star Amara Sanctuary looks like it was transported direct from the pages of a Wallpaper-magazine spread with its infinity pool, glass walls and furniture in every shade of 'resort brown'. Stunning villas have outdoor baths and plunge pools, or you could opt for one of the suites, housed in former British Army barracks, for a touch of colonial-style living.

The hotel runs a shuttle bus from Vivocity. Check the website for special deals.
