It has been more than a year since most of us have travelled overseas for a vacation and what’s the next best alternative to an overseas experience? Well, to ditch the hustle and bustle of city life, your best bet would be an idyllic hotel stay at one of the hotels located on Sentosa island, an island located off the southern coast of sunny Singapore. During pre-pandemic period, Sentosa is a favourite destination for Singaporeans to enjoy a quick “getaway” from their busy schedules.

Located on the Southernmost tip of the island, spanning over 27 acres of tropical woodlands and atop a cliff, Sofitel Sentosa Singapore presents the best way to enjoy the best of what a staycation can offer. Never mind the quotidian-looking hotels that blend seamlessly with the skyscrapers, the rooms, suites and villas from Sofitel Sentosa exude a distinct French flair that much resembles the decadent era of the ‘30s. Surrounded by lush greenery and awashed in serenity, you can’t help but feel at ease — and that’s the point of a staycation, to feel recharged and rejuvenated.

This sanctuary, hidden from the busyness of everyday life, is curated with bespoke experiences that not only relaxes the body but also the mind and soul. With greater awareness of the importance of mental well-being, Sofitel Sentosa has created a wellness programme that taps on the restorative powers of yoga to aid guests in finding their inner peace. 

From 14 June onwards, the two-person limit on group gathering will be raised to five and this means friends can join you too! Parents can also make use of the remaining two weeks of the school holidays to enjoy family time at an exquisite resort like Sofitel Sentosa. Make the most of your room with personalised hospitality where you get to relish in mouth-watering cuisines from the likes of The Cliff, Kween Zeen and LeBar. Option to have a picnic or dine under the stars is also available, do check with the friendly staff at the reception if you are keen. Bringing along your furry pals for your staycation? No worries, the Furkid Retreat package will ensure they are well-taken care of as well. 

Ever thought of what it is like to be a digital nomad? You can now try this mode of working with Sofitel Sentosa’s Dream B-Leisure Lifestyle. As mentioned before that travel is still not possible, telecommuting has become a part and parcel of life now under the new norm and the resort offers more than 10 complimentary amenities for those who wish to work from the resort. Besides having access to top-notch facilities, the greatest perks is the proximity to Sentosa’s pristine beaches at any time of the day. 

As Singapore progressively eases more restrictions, Sofitel Sentosa is always keeping abreast of the current happenings in the country and adjusts its policies according to prevailing guidelines. This entails that hygiene and cleanliness are constantly subjected to the highest standards. Any high-touch contact points will be sanitised, on-site safety ambassadors (Sofitel ambassadors) are deployed and rooms have to be vacant for at least 24 hours before new guests are welcomed.

Take this opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable time at Sofitel Sentosa with its extensive range of luxuriant services, while we all wait for the reopening of the borders.
