Little Happenings in Life: Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa Part 1

Our weekend staycation at Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa to celebrate our 5th year anniversary!

We meet up early in the morning for breakfast at Bendemeer Food Market before we head to Sentosa.

Our complimentary Sentosa bus and express train pass!

We took the Sentosa Express at Vivo City and alighted at the Imbiah Station. Amara Sanctuary Resort is within walking distance from there.

''A 121-room boutique resort on Singapore’s Sentosa Island, Amara Sanctuary Resort has uniquely retained elements of Singapore’s colonial architectural heritage, and combined this with contemporary design, a tropical landscape and a modern, casual yet elegant style. The resort offers luxurious accommodation, several innovative dining concepts, a gym, a unique concept spa, a state-of-the-art pillarless ballroom that can host large-scale meetings and events, and an all-purpose-built glass pavilion.''

The ambience of hotel was quiet, eco-friendly, bright and spa-like with the lovely soothing and calming lemongrass scent in the lobby and corridors.

''One of the highlights of Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa is the stunning Glass Pavilion tucked within the lushly landscaped grounds - making it the most romantic and elegant wedding or event location.''

''The Glass Pavilion is furnished with stylish transparent Philippe Starck-designed ‘Louis Ghost Chairs’ and can seat up to 40 guests or provide standing room for up to 60 guests. Adding to its charm is an antique bell and a waterfall that serves as a picturesque backdrop to the pavilion.''

The premier room of ours was situated on the 3rd floor out of 4 storey main hotel building. Their premier room are sleek, contemporary style guest rooms with either sea or garden facing rooms.

The resort features three outdoor swimming pools. The rooftop infinity pool comes with stunning views of the South China Sea and is reserved exclusively for adults. The dream pool and a children's pool are located in the resort's landscaped tropical gardens.

Our anniversary gifts for each other!

After we had done with our check in, we headed to the Imbiah Lookout!

We had actually explored most of the attractions in Sentosa during our last few visits. This time round, we decided to only visit the Fort Siloso for some photoshoots.

In the evening, we took a stroll along the Palawan beach to enjoy the beautiful sunset.

We were deciding what to have for dinner, and we chanced upon The Wave House Bar and Restaurant located at the Siloso beach. We went to check out their menu, and they serve a wide variety of food. While we are dining, we can also enjoy the unique and thrilling surfing actions just right outside the restaurant.
