Amara reborn

Amara Sanctuary Sentosa celebrates its latest refurbishment.

11 November 2024

Amara Sanctuary Sentosa has launched its latest chapter, a quiet transformation that pulses with the wild heart of Sentosa Island itself.

Amidst this lush sanctuary, the interior rebirth reveals more than new spaces; it invites guests to step into a story, crafted by the visionary touch of FARM’s design studio, where history and nature entwine like the roots of an ancient tree.

Drawing deep from the island’s legacy as a former military bastion and the century-old life of the estate, the redesign pays homage to land and sea alike. Indigenous stones and weathered timber whisper of the island’s past, while reclaimed wood from old fishing vessels adds the wisdom of countless tides.

It’s as if each room, each corridor, holds its breath, waiting for guests to step in and reawaken it. Verdant plants spill over corners and into pathways, their green serenity turning every glance into a reminder of the stillness that nature promises.

The centrepiece of this renewal is the resplendent lobby, a tranquil heart for all who enter.

One-bedroom Villa boasts its own private pool.

Every room is washed in hues of sand and sea, with textures of rattan and timber as tropical touches.

An ethereal skylight lets sun and shadow dance across the floor, drawing the eye to a four-metre Pithecellobium Confertum, the Everfresh Tree, stretching its branches in quiet resilience. By night, the tree folds its leaves, conserving its strength, like a soft promise kept just for those who pause to notice.

The redesign stretches into every suite and villa, where biophilic touches guide a gentle flow between outdoor and indoor spaces.

Every room is washed in hues of sand and sea, echoing nearby Palawan Beach, with textures of rattan and timber woven into the fabric of each stay.

Verandah Studios and Suites have been reimagined into dual-key apartments with kitchenettes, welcoming multi-generational travellers to nestle into this space where nature and nurture coalesce.

The Sanctuary Tearoom sits like a quiet heart in the resort, its earth-toned furnishings and woven rattan lanterns casting a warm glow over meals shared and memories made. By day, the space fills with laughter over a breakfast buffet of local dishes, and by night, it transforms for intimate gatherings where light spills through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto a lush lawn outside.

Amara Sanctuary Sentosa is more than a place to stay; it’s an embrace of peace on a bustling island, where history speaks softly and nature’s splendour is never far away.
