Capella Singapore
Sentosa Island, Singapore
Location
Sentosa Island
The resort sits at 1 The Knolls on Sentosa Island, off Singapore's southern coast, in 30 acres of gardens overlooking the South China Sea, near Palawan Beach, Universal Studios and golf. It is about 10 to 15 minutes from the city centre — the resort-and-family side of Singapore, a little removed from the Marina Bay action.
Transfer
A Singapore transfer
Fly into Changi Airport, about 30 minutes by car to Sentosa. The estate is a 10-to-15-minute drive from central Singapore, with Palawan Beach and Universal Studios close by.
Villas
Rooms, suites, villas & manors
Around 112 rooms, suites, villas and manors, with Jaya Ibrahim interiors — from garden and seaview rooms through sea-view Capella Suites to one-bedroom villas with private plunge pools, and the two restored 1880s Colonial Manors with their own pools and butlers.
Best For
Who it suits
Families and couples who want a resort escape within Singapore — gardens, sea-view pools and villas, with Universal Studios and Palawan Beach close — and multi-generational groups drawn to the Colonial Manors.
Board Basis
Room only
Booked on a room-only basis, with breakfast as an add-on (the Colonial Manors include breakfast and dinner with a limousine). Fiamma, Cassia, The Knolls and Bob's Bar cover Italian, Cantonese and Mediterranean, so dine-around is easy.
Overview
Singapore’s resort escape
Capella Singapore is the island's resort escape — a 30-acre colonial-garden estate on Sentosa, where Norman Foster's curving architecture wraps around two restored 1880s heritage buildings and peacocks roam lawns that run down toward the South China Sea. Named among the World's 50 Best Hotels, it trades the towers of the city for rainforest, gardens and three tiered sea-view pools, a ten-to-fifteen-minute drive from the centre yet a world apart. The roughly 112 rooms, suites, villas and manors include villas with private plunge pools and outdoor showers and the two 1880s Colonial Manors; the Auriga spa times its treatments to the phases of the moon; and the kitchen runs from Fiamma by Mauro Colagreco to modern Cantonese at Cassia. Palawan Beach, Universal Studios and Sentosa's attractions are close, which makes it the rare Singapore address that suits families and honeymooners alike. It sits on a hilly estate, with steps and levels between the buildings, and breakfast is taken as an add-on — but as the city's resort hideaway it stands alone.
Accommodation
Rooms, suites, villas & manors
Around 112 rooms, suites, villas and manors spread across the estate, with Jaya Ibrahim interiors. They run from garden and seaview rooms through the sea-view Capella Suites to one-bedroom villas — each with a private plunge pool, terrace and outdoor shower — and the two restored 1880s Colonial Manors with their own pools and butlers.
