The popular Madame Tussauds recently opened its Singapore offshoot in Sentosa. Just imagine the endless selfie opportunities with lifelike wax figures of Singapore’s hottest celebrities, like pop princess Stefanie Sun to international A-listers like Beyonce, David Beckham, Lewis Hamilton and Michelle Yeoh.
Skyline Luge & SkyRide
Whizz downhill on the Luge and hop on the SkyRide that brings you above tree tops to get back to the top. The Skyline Luge & SkyRide, one of Sentosa's biggest attractions, has gone through a revamp and is back with an upgraded Jungle Track (which features new LED lighting fixtures) and eight more ticketing counters (which means shorter waiting times). This is a must for all thrill-seekers!
Trick Eye Museum
Prepare for a mind boggling adventure at this museum that features over 80 three-dimensional paintings and optical illusions. Originally from South Korea, it is housed in a 800 square meter space at Resorts World Sentosa's Waterfront. Expect to take a ton of Instagram worthy pictures.
Megazip Adventure Park
If you want to experience flying down one of the longest and steepest zipwire descents in Asia, hook up to Megazip. Swooshing down this 450-meter-long flying fox will see you take in stunning views of Sentosa and beyond before landing on an islet. Exhilarating without being scary—leave the adult diapers at home.
Sentosa Cove
Quayside Isle at Sentosa Cove is not only one of Singapore’s chicest boardwalks but it’s also one of our favorite dining and lifestyle enclaves that's set in a tranquil setting away from the bustling city. There are plenty of options to pick from, including laid-back cafe Kith, Mediterranean cafe Miska Cafe and sophisticated restaurant-bar Museo that also doubles up as an art studio.
Tanjong Beach Club
Modeled after a 1950s beach resort, the club comes replete with a pool boasting panoramic views of the sand, two bars, a restaurant and plenty of chill-out spaces. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing evening by the beach. You can frolick in the pool, groove along to dance music ranging from disco to house and tuck into upscale beach pub grub.
Universal Studios Singapore
Enjoy a slice of Tinseltown-laced Americana at Singapore's largest theme park. The rides, shows, stores and photo-ops with uber huggable characters like Shrek and Kungfu Panda all make for an incredible day out. Regardless of age, this is a must-visit.
Wave House Singapore
There’s no lack of activities at Wave House—there seems to always be a DJ spinning, a slew of schoolies on the FlowRider and a bevvy of pros on the FlowBarrel. There is an indoor restaurant, but you can also order tapas, sandwiches and pizzas from the beach bar, then hit the waves again.
S.E.A. Aquarium
No visit to Sentosa is complete without a visit to the S.E.A Aquarium, the largest of its kind in the world. With over 100,000 marine animals from more than 800 species, it sets the standard for marine life and conservation education in the region, offering an in-depth look at habitats the world over.

Elohim by Sabrina Goh
Designer Sabrina Goh looks to the architectural form for her inspiration, resulting in a strong yet sensual silhouette aimed at the edgy, fashion forward crowd.

References to these birds can be seen in the overlapping and layering as well as the angular cut and oversized sleeves.

Gnome & Bow
For its debut collection, which consists of a range of man bags from briefcases to backpacks alongside wallets and luggage tags, founder Quanda Ong focuses on the tale of The Hare and the Flying Tortoise.
