While Sentosa’s stretches of palm-tree-lined beaches make for a pleasant retreat from city life, there are countless stunning seaside destinations just a short flight or ferry ride away that warrant a weekend stay or more. We’ve compiled a list of hotspots to help you with your holiday planning.
VILLA OMBAK
This new 5,000-square-foot luxury beachfront villa is ideal for several families or groups of friends, as it sleeps up to 12 guests in four spacious ensuite bedrooms. It has a giant open-plan living and dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, a media room, a large private pool and sala, a separate 1,000-square-foot activity room (with climbing wall and ping pong and foosball tables) and a large, grassy area. The villa is literally just a few steps from an unspoilt and uncrowded beach that is safe for kids, with shallow water and no big waves. We love the idea of a paddle around the bay (a kayak and SUPs are available), exploring neighbouring islands, spotting flying fish and snorkelling. And when the tide goes out, the kids can have fun searching for shells, crabs and other critters. In the evening, gather at the outdoor deck for a barbecue and watch the sun set over beautiful Lagoi Bay.
