Singapore’s highly anticipated Raffles Sentosa has officially opened. This all-villa property is the first of its kind in Singapore, expanding Raffles’ footprint in the Lion City and marking a significant milestone for the iconic brand and the hotels in Sentosa Island. This follows the legendary Raffles Singapore on Beach Road, which first opened its doors in 1887.
In celebration of the opening that happened on March 1, 2025, the brand has launched the ‘Welcome Home’ experience, which can be booked until May 31, 2025. Guests have the exclusive opportunity to be the first to explore the property and be welcomed with a complimentary Sentosa Sling, a sustainable twist on the iconic Singapore Sling. Each cocktail is made from upcycled watermelon skin and lemon leaves sourced from the resort’s garden. Additionally, this experience includes private round-trip transfers and daily breakfast for two at Empire Grill, further enhancing the stay.
