The heart of Capella Singapore is architectural rather than newly built: two restored colonial bungalows in the Tanah Merah style, dating to the 1880s, from which the resort extends into gardens and grounds framed by the sea. The contemporary structures that wrap around this heritage core were designed by Foster + Partners, intended to sit in harmony with the older buildings and the surrounding landscape, while the interiors across all 113 rooms, suites, villas and manors were designed by Jaya Ibrahim. The result is a single estate that reads as both a piece of restored Singapore history and a modern resort, set within thirty acres of landscaped grounds and rainforest on Sentosa Island.
- Fiamma: an Italian restaurant built around family cooking, seasonal ingredients and open-flame cooking. - Cassia: a modern Cantonese restaurant offering a contemporary take on the cuisine, including a dim sum lunch service. - The Knolls: the all-day, Mediterranean-inspired restaurant overlooking the cascading pools and the South China Sea. - The Pineapple Room: a cocktail bar set within the property's heritage building. - Bob's Bar: a relaxed bar with sunset views, pouring cocktails made with Navegante rum created exclusively for Capella Singapore. - The Constellation Club: a dining and entertainment venue with a points-based membership across the restaurants and spa.
Wellness centres on Auriga Spa, which has separate male and female areas each with a Vitality Pool, Herbal Steam Room, Ice Fountain and Experiential Showers. The spa is open daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Outside the spa, the resort has three cascading swimming pools threaded through the grounds. For families, an Island Explorer program runs as a self-guided adventure encouraging younger guests to explore the thirty-acre rainforest, and children up to 11 years old stay free when travelling with a full-paying adult.
Capella Singapore sits at 1 The Knolls, Sentosa Island, Singapore 098297, just over ten minutes from the central area of Singapore and roughly 26km from Changi International Airport. That places it in an unusual position: a resort with rainforest, villas and beachward grounds that is still within easy reach of Singapore's business district, restaurants and shopping. The trade-off is that Sentosa is an island resort setting rather than a walkable urban neighbourhood, so the surrounding area is the island's attractions and greenery, well short of a dense streetscape.
Capella Singapore has eight distinct room, suite, villa, and manor categories, split between a modern main building, standalone pool villas, and two restored 1880s colonial manor houses.
