Helpful Questions
What Is Sentosa Island In Singapore Known For?
Sentosa Island was previously a fishing village that also served as a military installation during the Japanese Occupation. The land was reclaimed from the 1970s onwards and was transformed into a resort. Many theme parks, tourist attractions, and accommodation facilities now line Sentosa Island's shores.
How Many Days Do You Need To Explore Sentosa Island?
Depends on what you want to do there and how long you have in Singapore. We wouldn't spend more than a day in Sentosa as there is so much to see around Singapore. But if you have lots of time and want to see everything that Sentosa has to offer, from its attractions to its hidden gems then you can budget three days to see the island.
Why Is Sentosa Island So Popular?
Sentosa Island's mainstream popularity is thanks to the massive Resorts World Sentosa, which is, in itself, home to lots of activities and attractions. Sentosa is home to the Genting casino, and Universal Studios which most people know the island for. Sentosa is also home to three beaches: Palawan, Tanjong, and Siloso and many Singaporeans will head to the beaches on the weekends.
When Is The Best Time To Visit Sentosa Island In Singapore?
Many tourists flock to Sentosa around November and December, and locals may go more during school holidays (June and December). If you want to avoid the crowds, we recommend visiting it outside of these months.
Does the MRT pass through Sentosa?
No. To get to Sentosa Island, you must take the train to Harbourfront MRT station, then change over to the Sentosa Express monorail.
