As Singapore’s only luxury beachfront resort, Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa makes for an ideal family-friendly holiday. Weekend staycation or a much-needed retreat, this resort is an easy 15-minute drive from the city centre and is close to popular attractions like Universal Studios Singapore, Fort Siloso, and Mega Adventure.
It’s also where you can stroll along the resort’s own private beach – there’s nothing quite like the picture-perfect views of the South China Sea from the sandy shores of Siloso Beach. While you’ll want to spend the entire day basking in the sun, you can also try sea sports like kayaking, pedal boating, and stand-up paddle boarding.
Each room comes with its own private balcony. Here, admire stunning views of the blue sea, or even the resort’s swimming pools and landscaped gardens. It’s worth spending a lazy afternoon by the pool too, since there’s an outdoor jacuzzi for adults along with kid-friendly features like water slides and splash pad. You can also join in daily activities held by the pool and around the resort with Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa’s Fun Team.
Since you’ll be wanting to bring your entire family, it’s fitting that Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa has plenty of kid-friendly activities. From action-packed playground Nestopia to a children’s buffet counter at all-day dining restaurant Silver Shell Café, kids are bound to have a blast. There’s even an indoor kids club, Cool Zone, that has a giant treehouse decked out with spiral slides, a toddler playground for children under 5 years, and a dedicated arts and crafts corner.
Children will also look forward to a meet-and-greet with Toots, the resort’s green ambassador. On top of being a colourful addition to your Instagram feed, Toots is more than happy to mingle and give free hugs to guests. Families can also make the most of the Rasa Sentosa Kids Activity Book which features Toots, filled with activities like pool bingo, colour the peacock, or actively hunting down frog statues scattered all around the resort.
