If Singapore is on your travel radar , you may already know its island-within-anisland , Sentosa . This holiday hub is home to beaches , themed attractions , bars , restaurants , and plenty to tempt the modern leisure-seeker . And while Sentosa is a magnet for families , we ’ ve found an adults-only retreat perfect for couples ( with the island ’ s first rooftop day club strictly for guests aged above 16 years old ), The Outpost Hotel Sentosa .
THE LOCATION
Sentosa is easily accessible from the mainland via car , bus , monorail , cable car or on foot . Although it ’ s only 20 minutes from Changi Airport by taxi , we can ’ t go past the cable car for its fabulous views over the Singapore skyline , harbour , and Sentosa Island . Look out for Universal Studios as you draw closer ! The Outpost is positioned close to Imbiah Station and within walking distance to many world-class attractions , including Universal Studio Singapore and S . E . A . Aquarium , as well as the island ’ s golden beaches .
THE VIBE
In three words : chic , curated , fun . The Outpost ’ s bold black-and-white palette is a nod to the island ’ s colonial heritage with glossy black marble contrasted with crisp white for a sophisticated finish .
In the 193 rooms , you ’ ll have a choice of aspect ( choose a Sea View for expansive coastline vistas ) with floor-to-ceiling windows to maximise the impact . A highlight of check-in is selecting five items to customise your complimentary mini bar , and couples will also appreciate the king bed , 55-inch television , and well-stocked Nespresso machine .
Other noteworthy details set The Outpost apart from the Sentosa pack , including bathroom treats from Aussie brand APPELLES Apothecary & Lab , pillow mist kits , and a Hyflux tap for freeflowing premium filtered water : no disposable plastic bottles !
THE FUN BITS
Many couples find their Sentosa highlights orbiting in and around the hotel — especially rooftop hub , 1-Altitude Coast which overlooks Palawan Beach and the Singapore Strait . This cool day-to-night destination includes the Sky Pool and day club , alfresco terrace , casual all-day dining at Sol & Ora , and private dining in Villa Ora . An oasis for those who want to unwind in the sunshine or party poolside with a cocktail in hand .
Because The Outpost is part of the Far East Hospitality stable , you ’ re also welcome to use the themed facilities and
dining options at neighbouring hotels , Oasis Resort Sentosa and Village Hotel Sentosa . The Level 3 Pool Deck features the Adventure Pool , Turkish-inspired Pamukkale Pool with day beds made for two , and the Lazy River Pool where you meander through the waterways in a donut float !
Guests can also enjoy a range of Outpost X curated local experiences — we fancy the gin cocktail-making workshop — but come twilight , you ’ ll want to be back at the rooftop for the best view of the sunset and evening fireworks .
COUPLES WILL LOVE
