Raffles Sentosa Singapore, the country’s first all-villa resort located on Sentosa Island, officially opened its doors this month. Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, holistic wellbeing is at the forefront of the resort experience.

“Through the debut of this resort, we are introducing an elegant all-villa offering on Sentosa Island, where guests can immerse themselves in nature while embracing tranquility and wellbeing. We look forward to creating magical moments in an exquisite setting, highlighting the beauty of this unique island destination while delivering exceptional hospitality,” said Omer Acar, CEO, Raffles Hotels & Resorts.

Each of the villas boast a private pool and outdoor terrace, ranging from one bedroom to four. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the lush landscaping. Raffles Butler service is available to guests of the resort.

“This is a very special moment for us as we proudly launch Raffles Sentosa Singapore, the Republic’s first all-villa resort,” said Bobby Hiranandani, co-chairman, Royal Group. “We are honored to have been entrusted with continuing the distinguished Raffles legacy, particularly here in Singapore where this iconic brand was born and still has such a special place in everyone’s hearts.”

The Raffles Sentosa Spa offers 13 treatment rooms and an expansive fitness center. Preferential greens fees are available at Sentosa Golf Club, across from the resort. The resort features five restaurants and lounges, including Empire Grill, Royal China, Iyasaka by Hashida, Raffles Room and Chairman’s Room. State-of-the-art ballrooms can seat up to 400.

“We look forward to welcoming guests and local visitors to enjoy Raffles Sentosa Singapore, a distinct retreat in one of the world’s most exciting cities. While just a short distance from Central Singapore, this private sanctuary offers a serene escape where guests can connect with nature while indulging in the world-class hospitality for which Raffles is renowned,” said Cavaliere Giovanni Viterale, cluster general manager, Raffles Sentosa Singapore and Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa.

The Welcome Home offer includes private round-trip transfers, daily breakfast for two at Empire Grill and a complimentary Sentosa Sling, available for bookings through May 31, on stays through Sept. 30.

Review: Moxy NYC Chelsea

ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: The hotel was designed to blend into the New York City landscape, specifically the Chelsea Flower District on which the property sits. The iconic neon purple Moxy sign, however, beckoned to me, where I was first met with an airy atrium paying homage to the hotel’s location with vibrant plastic flowers adorning a vintage-looking floral stand. It offered the perfect photo opportunity, and I was told the installation changes regularly. While the lobby is more of a small room with check-in desks, it’s seamless, efficient and easy to navigate. The check-in desks alone are unique, hanging by dark pipes from the ceiling, swaying ever so slightly.

Trace New Orleans’ Liquid Lineage at Experiential Sazerac House

In no other city are spirits and cocktails so inextricably linked than in New Orleans. Here you can sip a Vieux Carré, named for the French Quarter, while seated at a stool around the slowly revolving Carousel Bar where it was invented; or marvel at the lengthy hand-shaking required for the silky-smooth emulsification and mile-high airy foam of the Ramos Gin Fizz, an ethereal, heady drink created by Henry Ramos in 1888.

Kanu Private Island Resort Review

On a small coral island just 25 minutes by boat from Placencia, Belize, five villas edge the sand with not much else around. No neighbors. No noise. No check-in counters. When you arrive at Kanu Private Island, there is no one waiting in line before you because there is no one else coming. This is a one-party island booked through Gecko Vacation Rentals, and everything from welcome drinks to your farewell transfer is designed around your group alone.
