Some say you haven’t been to Singapore if you haven’t stepped foot on its famous, most-visited playground called Sentosa Island Resort.
Well, who can argue with that? Bursting with an abundance of entertainment destinations, the place opens a door to a world of exciting adventures that you just can’t miss. Be it on land, water or even up in the air, there is always something for everyone.
The amazing 4D Magix with state-of-the-art visual effects, surround sound, individually controlled motion seats and water spray effects; the adrenalin-pumping CineBlast that will “fly” you to the highest mountains and deepest valleys; the “floating” experience of the Sky Ride and the toboggan-like ride of Sentosa Luge are just a few of the 11 attractions at a cluster on the island called Imbiah Lookout.
And of course, don’t forget the beaches with their white sandy shores where you can ride the roaring waves, indulge in different kinds of water sports, enjoy fireworks, water displays and some animal encounters.
Meanwhile at Siloso Point, hours of fun, leisure and learning are all waiting with its underwater experience. You can see how fun it is to feed rays and sharks, or plunge in and stare fear in the face swimming with the ocean’s fiercest predators in its shark program.
Expect even more exhilarating moments at Resort World Sentosa, as it is loaded with a myriad of fascinating educational recreation, dining, shopping, nightlife, art and culture and more. Take the brand-new, highly anticipated Universal Studios Singapore, for instance.
Featuring 24 mind-blowing movie-themed rides and attractions (with 18 of them being unique to Singapore), which take you on a journey of thrills and spills, this first and only Hollywood theme park in the region is a blockbuster experience like never before.
The suspenseful action at Jurassic Park, the joy of the Far Far Away Castle of Shrek & the gang and the joyous African riverboat with wacky characters from the movie Madagascar are just some of the exciting moments for any age of fun-seekers. As the peak of the evening, you can watch the new Lake Hollywood Spectacular (Friday/Saturday), an amazingly new pyrotechnics show set to a splendid musical score that bursts across the night sky right in front of you.
Make time, too, to visit Marine Life Park and fulfill your aquatic curiosity by diving into the life of the underwater world and blow yourself away at the world’s largest oceanarium and the world’s longest manmade rainforest river. Really, where else can you experience the thrill of up-close encounters with sharks and dolphins?
And there is FestiveWalk to satisfy your appetite. Offering more than 60 cafes, food charts, clubs and bars, you are spoiled with such a smorgasbord of cuisine from fine international celebrity chef-led restaurants to the irresistible Asian street hawkers fare. Be it simple and sumptuous Italian, exotic Brazilian food, or some local delights like Chicken Rice, you’re promised to have a pleasant gastronomic experience.
When the sun goes down, a series of post-dinner clubbing action is waiting to get you into lively nightlife scenes. Voyage de la Vie™, led by renowned producer Mark Fisher, brings an original rock circus spectacular featuring world-class acrobatic stars. With a stage of a joyous journey of self-discovery told through pulsating music, fabulous costumes, awe-inspiring sets and death-defying stunts, it is a feast to the eyes.
Mind you, being away from the city doesn’t mean you have to be away from the fun of Singapore’s famous shopping. Thanks to Luxury Fashion, you still can treat yourself with some of the world’s popular and classy brands that are just a stone’s throw away.
As gifts or keepsakes, you can bring home some cute souvenirs for friends or family at Resort World Gift Shop, or indulge your sweet cravings at the delectable collection of chocolates at the Hershey’s store. Being the first outlet outside the US, Victoria’s Secret is certainly too sizzling to miss, as it offers hot, sexy, glamorous and innovative lingerie and beauty products.
Being Asia’s favorite playground, accommodation is the least you have to worry about. Twelve hotels and three spas on Sentosa Island offer a range of options for travelers. Whether it’s a romantic hotel resort with a view of the beach, or classic modern style, or theme-concept hotels, it’s your call.
Being home to a theme park, wildlife reserves, gardens, animal parks, adventure rides, gastronomic experience, hotels and spas, Sentosa Island is a one-stop destination with all the best attractions the world has to offer. It’s no wonder it is fast becoming Asia’s favorite playground.
