SINGAPORE STAYCATION:
Rasa Sentosa Resort

WHERE Nestled amongst lush greenery and miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre,
Rasa Sentosa Resort (www.shangri-la.com)
- perched on Siloso Beach - is an ideal tropical,
close-to-home getaway for couples and families alike. 

WHY STAY With a strong emphasis on outdoor fun and family activities, there's never a dull moment at Rasa Sentosa. For daredevils, the Sea Sports Centre is fully equipped for water sports and beach games and the Flying Trapeze encourages you to try out acrobatic moves eight metres off the ground. You can also zip, climb, swing and plunge around the island at the recently launched Megazip Adventure Park (www.sentosa.com.sg) situated next the resort. Toots Club hosts specially-organised activities for children aged five to 12
years and other child-friendly facilities include two game arcades, a nursery room and swimming pool with fun slides.
         Adults seeking downtime can retreat to the resort's Health Club & Spa which offers an extensive menu of pampering treatments. Dining is a sensory experience at the signature Barnacles Restaurant where you can enjoy the sea breeze and watch the sun set, while savouring scrumptious seafood and grill items. Sunday Garden Party by the Sea - the resort's version of a Sunday brunch - comes complete with entertainment for the kids. And Rasa Sentosa is close to many Sentosa attractions, conveniently linked by the island's shuttle, rail and tram services.
