The Outpost Hotel Sentosa
I had the pleasure of staying at the Outpost Hotel Sentosa. This trendy and upscale hotel provides a chic and contemporary urban getaway, with a strong emphasis on personalized experiences.
One of the hotel’s standout features is its design. The contemporary aesthetics, with bold black and white elements, create a crisp, modern ambiance. The 193 rooms are meticulously designed with clean lines and monochromatic palettes. Each room offers expansive views of the South China Sea through floor-to-ceiling windows.
My cosy Deluxe Sea View room made the most of every available space. It featured a king bed, a two-person sofa, a table, a coffee machine, and all the usual modern conveniences.
A welcome drink and a customized complimentary minibar were delightful additions, as was the toiletries kit by Australian beauty brand Appelles Apothecary & Lab.
Deluxe Sea View Room
What makes the Outpost Hotel Sentosa really stand out is its rooftop retreat. This adults-only (16+) space features an al fresco pool deck with relaxed seating and all-day casual dining. The restaurant Sol & Ora, which opens onto the rooftop, offers a range of Mediterranean cuisine.
At night, the vibe transforms into a lively party atmosphere with a rooftop cocktail bar, views of the Sentosa daily fireworks, and it’s the only night-time spot on Sentosa open until 2 am on Fridays and Saturdays.
Guests at the Outpost also have access to the facilities at the neighbouring Village Hotel Sentosa, including a fitness room and four family-friendly pools. For more details on the Village Hotel, you can read our review.
The Oasia Hotel Sentosa
Just a short walk from the Outpost, the Oasia Hotel focuses on health and wellness. The Oasia spa offers a range of treatments and spa journeys, while complimentary activities such as aqua zumba, yoga and aqua boxing are open to guests at any of the Far East hotels on Sentosa. The recently opened pet-friendly Courtyard Premier rooms feature private courtyards with retractable roofs, adding a unique touch to the wellness experience.
The Barracks Hotel Sentosa
The most luxurious of the Far East Hospitality resorts is the Barracks Hotel Sentosa. Once a British artillery outpost, the hotel retains much of its original features.
With just 40 rooms, this property is one of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World and received a Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Award in 2024.
