Sneak PEEK

The less-is-more philosophy is a thing of the past at The Outpost Hotel at Sentosa. From cocktails tailored especially for sunsets to tailor-made adventures, only the extraordin­ary passes muster here

“You’ll feel instantly uplifted as you check into the stylish Outpost

SUNSETS, skylines and Singapore slings – sounds like the recipe for an idyllic getaway for two, doesn’t it?

And if you’re looking for a tropical-island adventure served up with a modern twist, there’s no better place to enjoy that particular namesake cocktail than in the Asian A-list destinatio­n itself.

Escaping to The The Outpost Hotel at Sentosa, an adults-only hilltop retreat overlookin­g the Singapore Strait, will be as romantic as it is rejuvenati­ng.

The VIP treatment starts the moment you step off the plane, when you’ll be whisked away from the hustle and bustle of arrivals in your own personal chauffeure­d limousine.

You’ll pass by the island’s three stunning beaches, Siloso, Tanjong and peaceful Palawan – which is only a six-minute stroll from your new home away from home.

Upon arrival you’ll feel instantly uplifted as you check into the stylish 193-room masterpiec­e, which sits majestical­ly above a vast vista of palm trees. The Outpost was designed with Sentosa’s colonial-military past in mind; all crisp lines, monochrome marble and glistening hints of gold.

TOAST A WARM WELCOME

ONCE you’ve received the famously hospitable Singaporea­n welcome over a welcome drink, it’s off to your suite. However, a word of warning: you may never want to leave.

Floor-to-ceiling windows allow the Singaporea­n sunshine to pour in, allowing you to immediatel­y start to unwind and relax – helped in part by thoughtful additions such as pampering pillow-mist kits, bespoke tea blends and heritage cookies with flavours inspired by Singapore’s signature dishes.

Fear of overspendi­ng at your mini-bar will also be a thing of the past: it’s customised with all your favourites, compliment­s of the hotel.

All you have to do then is explore your new surroundin­gs. Head to the modernist pool deck and take a dip in one of four pools, inspired by the Amazon River and the cascading waters of Turkey. An evening swim in the Pamukkale Pool will be especially refreshing, thanks to its unparallel­ed view of the seaside – so why not grab a cocktail at the pool bar and watch the sun set over the South China Sea?

Once you’ve dressed for dinner, take a seat at the rooftop restaurant, where revolution­ary dining meets panoramic views to create unforgetta­ble ambience and atmosphere for a night worth reliving for your entire stay. While you’ll be beyond relaxed, your evening could have an explosive ending; the rooftop offers you prime position to watch the nightly fireworks display by Wings of Time at Siloso Beach. Of course, a romantic break doesn’t have to be all about lounging and luxuriatin­g. The Outpost allows you to make memories through amazing activities such as a beachfront bungee jump, a canopy zip line over Imbiah Hill down to the shorefront, or a simple cable ride over lush rainforest­s and turquoise waters.

FINE DINING WITH A VIEW

OR, spend a day searching out Singapore’s hidden treasures in style with a specially crafted tour of the city’s best-kept secret attraction­s – in your own limousine. Discover the splendour of Singapore’s famed Marina Bay, where you can be a culture vulture at the Science Museum, try your luck at the casino or shop up a storm at the huge selection of luxury boutiques. Another must is the Gardens by the Bay, a leading park which has helped turn the skyscraper-filled city into a green oasis. The awe-inspiring Supertree structures allow you to skywalk over gardens and greenhouse­s galore.

Whatever way you choose to spend your time in Singapore, you’ll always feel part of the inner circle at The Outpost.
