The Beaufort Sentosa and the Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa Beach Resort offer all the facilities and amenities you would expect of a top quality resort, with the emphasis on water sports and golf, provided by two challenging 18-hole courses.
Visit the Asian Village, which showcases ethnic foods, architecture, arts and crafts from around the region. The Village also offers 11 exhilarating rides at its Family Entertainment Centre.
Explore the Pioneers of Singapore, Surrender Chambers, Festivals of Singapore and Fort Siloso for interesting insights into the history of Singapore.
There's plenty for nature lovers too - a Butterfly Park which is home to 2,500 live butterflies from over 50 species and a Nature Walk that leads through lush jungle to the summit of Mount Imbiah, from where Singapore's neighbouring islands can be seen. A visit to the Sentosa Orchid Gardens is also a must. Highlights include beautiful and colourful exotic orchids, a garden clock, a ceremonial hall for wedding ceremonies and receptions, a pond containing about 1000 rare and beautiful Kois from Japan and a souvenir shop selling exquisite orchid motif souvenirs.
Underwater World, Asia's largest tropical oceanarium, is a treat not to be missed. It houses over 2,000 species of fish and has a submerged perspex walkway which allows visitors to pass safely under the water within inches of sharks, stingrays and moray eels. And making its imperial appearance for the first time in Singapore is the Weedy Seadragon, a marine fish that resembles the mythical majestic dragons in Chinese folklore.
Cool off at Fantasy Island, Sentosa's spectacular new water theme park. Developed at a cost of over $50 million, Fantasy Island boasts 13 different fulfilled water rides and a mind boggling 31 different water slides as well as three activity pools (one for adults, two for children), a state-of-the-art "interactive experiential theatre" and an Entertainment Mall with unique themed restaurants.
A spectacular, multi sensory experience awaits visitors at Sentosa's Volcano Land. Budding explorers will discover aspects of the extinct Mayan civilization, fossils, archaeological digs and a "pit cage" to transport them to the very heart of the "volcano". Watch out for the half-hourly eruptions of "the world's most active volcano" as the power of ancient geological forces produce a 30-metre column of smoke that can even be seen from the World Trade Centre.
When you get hungry, just visit the island's turn-of-the-century Mississippi river-boat with a fast food restaurant and an observation deck. Then watch the musical fountain where water formations dance to the rhythm of different sounds.
Allow a full day to enjoy just some of Sentosa's attractions. It's a discovery isle that is a "must" to visit.
