Sentosa Island in Singapore

Sentosa is an island just off the southern coast of Singapore.

Understand

Tanjong Beach on a lazy Sunday afternoon
Formerly known by the rather unattractive name of Pulau Belakang Mati ("The Island After Death" in Malay) and the centrepiece of Britain's unsuccessful "Fortress Singapore" strategy in World War II, Sentosa has been rebranded and resculpted into one big tourist attraction, popular among Singaporeans as a quick island getaway. The new jewel in the crown is Resorts World, an enormous complex comprising a Universal Studios themepark, Singapore's first casino, shopping malls and hotels.

The small southern islets of Kusu Island, St. John's Island, the Sisters Islands and Pulau Hantu are managed by Sentosa. Various plans to develop them have not come to much and they remain off the beaten track, but by no means undiscovered. The first two can be reached by public ferry, for the rest you will have to charter a boat.

Get in

Map of Sentosa
Basic admission to the island will set you back at least $2 per person which is included in the transportation fares from the mainland to Sentosa. There is an ever-changing palette of combination tickets that may work out marginally cheaper if you plan to visit multiple attractions. The island itself is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, although many of the attractions are not.

The best way is in to take the North-East Line of the MRT to HarbourFront and then make your way to Level 3 of Vivocity, where you'll find the Sentosa Express monorail to the island. The train operates every 5-8 minutes from 7AM to 11:45PM daily, and an round-trip ticket costs $4 (up as of May 9, 2013 -- island admission included, EZ-Link accepted). The cheapest way though, is to take an SMRT bus for $2:

RWS 8 from VivoCity/HarbourFront MRT
By taxi or private car, you'll need to pay $2 to $7 per vehicle to enter, and a $3 taxi surcharge also applies on the way out. It is now possible to walk across the bridge via the Sentosa Broadwalk (free at least until 31 Dec 2018, normally $1, EZ-Link accepted) .


The Cable Car between Sentosa, HarbourFront and Mt. Faber has completed its renovation and reopened to public in July 2010. Return ticket on Cable Car costs $29.

Sentosa's ferry terminal has been demolished to make way for the casino, but there are still limited ferry services from Singapore's Marina South Pier (bus 402 from Marina Bay MRT) to the southern islands of Kusu and St. John. Monday through Saturday, there are two services a day, leaving at 10AM and 1:30PM, looping to Kusu, St. John, Kusu again and then back to Marina South. This gives you one hour on Kusu, which is plenty for seeing the sights. On Sundays and holidays only, there are five services, at 9AM, 11AM, 1PM, 3PM and 5PM, which run to Kusu, St. John and then return directly to Marina South, giving a minimum of two hours on any island you go to. All ferries cost $15 return, no Sentosa entry fee needed.

Get around

Sentosa Express
All internal transport around Sentosa (except taxis) is free.

By bus
Since Stagecoach took over the whole Sentosa bus services because of the exit of FirstGroup's strategy in June 2013, Stagecoach has provided three services in Sentosa. These are bus 1, bus 2 and bus 3.

By tram
Beach trams supplemented by minivans shuttle people along the beaches every 15-20 minutes. One service connects Beach Station to Siloso Beach, another connects Beach Station to Palawan and Tanjong Beaches.

By train
The old round-the-island Sentosa Monorail was decommissioned in March 2005 to make way for the new Sentosa Express, which can also be used to shuttle between the beaches and Imbiah Station (near the Merlion).

Long a bit of a joke — Singaporean wags like to quip that "Sentosa" actually stands for "So Expensive and Nothing to See Actually" — Sentosa's attractions have received some much-needed upgrades in recent years, with the worst of the lot unceremoniously demolished.

Fort Siloso, near Underwater World (all buses, then transfer to tram), 10AM-6PM. Formerly the largest British naval base in Fortress Singapore, its guns staring balefully out towards the sea in preparation for enemy attack.

Sentosa Luge & Skyride, Beach Station / Imbiah Lookout, Up the hill in a ski lift and down again in a steerable bobsled. Kid safe. Good attraction for younger kids as the incline of the track hinders going very fast. Not very exciting for those over 15.
