Singapore can seem like an enigma for the enterprising tourist: often seen as more of a business destination, visitors may feel like there isn’t much else to do aside from shopping and stuffing one’s face. Amara Sanctuary Resort – spread across 3.5 hectares of lush tropical vegetation and the site of a former British military barracks – puts those fears to rest.

Only a 10 minute drive to mainland Singapore’s business district, yet wrapped in veritable seclusion in Sentosa, Amara seeks to offer the best of both worlds: work and pleasure. Contemporary colonial flourishes creep throughout the resort’s design, and rooms are spacious, full of light, and face either the garden or sea.

Three swimming pools and a spa can babysit bored family members or offer a refuge from work calls. Even better, a wide range of restaurants – the contemporary Asian/Western offerings at Shutters; Thai restaurant Thanying; the French-named but Japanese-themed Si Bon; and beachside seafood option Silk Road of the Sea.
