Sentosa Island

Explore

Epitomised by its star attraction, Universal Studios, Sentosa is essentially one gi-ant theme park. And as such, kids love it. Packed with rides, activities and shows, most of which cost extra, it’s very easy for a family to rack up a huge bill in one day spent here. And that’s not counting visits to the casino. The beaches, of course, are completely free and very popular with locals and tourists alike. You need at least a full day to experience everything Sentosa has to offer (and a very large wallet), but it’s quite possible to just come here for a morning or afternoon on the beach. In fact, some people just come here for a drink in the evening. There are certainly worse ways to watch the sunset than at a beach bar on Sentosa, gin and tonic in hand.
