Sentosa island (more commonly known as “Sentosa”), the city’s favourite resort getaway is five hundred metres off the southern coast of Singapore. Admission to several attractions is included in the Sentosa entry ticket though for the more popular attractions a further charge is levied. It’s wise to avoid coming at the weekend, or on public holidays. Like its beaches of imported sand, Sentosa is almost entirely a synthetic attraction, but who’s complaining? Thanks in part to its energetic policy of non-stop renovation and upgrading, it sets new visitor records for itself every year, drawing locals and tourists alike. Children in particular will love it, and adults won’t be disappointed by the decent museums, fine aquarium and outdoor activities including cycling and golf. There’s easily enough to do to fill a day and night, and if that’s not enough time, you could stop over at one of Sentosa’s four resorts.
