Pulse Reviews and Analysis
Top 10 Resorts in Singapore
The best resorts in Singapore for 2027 blend tropical resort living with one of Asia's sharpest skylines. Our top pick is Capella Singapore on Sentosa Island, a 30-acre Norman Foster–designed sanctuary that topped both the Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards and the Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards for the country.
Rounding out the list are heritage landmarks like Raffles Hotel Singapore, the architecturally iconic Marina Bay Sands, and beach-fronting escapes such as Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa. Below are ten real, currently operating properties verified against Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, and Tripadvisor, with 2027 nightly pricing and the standout reason to book each one.
How We Ranked These
We weighted four factors: independent recognition (the Condé Nast Traveller Triple Crown and Travel + Leisure awards carried the most weight), guest review consistency on Tripadvisor and Expedia, on-property resort experience (pools, spa, dining, grounds), and value relative to nightly rate.
Three Singapore hotels hold the rare Triple Crown — appearing on the Hot List, Gold List, and Readers' Choice Awards simultaneously — and all three made our cut. We balanced ultra-luxury Sentosa resorts against urban Marina Bay landmarks so the list serves both beach-resort seekers and skyline-chasers.
Every property below is confirmed open and bookable for 2027.
1. Capella Singapore 🏆 BEST OVERALL
Capella Singapore is the country's reigning luxury benchmark, named the number one hotel in Singapore by both the Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards and the Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards. Spread across 30 acres on Sentosa Island, the Norman Foster–designed resort wraps two restored 1880s colonial bungalows in a sweeping contemporary curve, surrounded by rainforest, resident peacocks, and three cascading outdoor pools.
Rooms and the coveted garden Manor villas come with private plunge pools, and the Auriga Spa runs treatments synced to lunar cycles. Dining spans Fiamma by chef Mauro Colagreco and the beachside Bob's Bar. Service is the differentiator here: a near 1-to-1 staff-to-room ratio means personal assistants handle everything from unpacking to restaurant booking.
Nightly rates start around S$1,280 (roughly US$950) for a Premier Garden room and climb past S$5,000 for the Sea View villas. For travelers who want a genuine resort — grounds, privacy, beach — rather than a city tower, Capella is the clear top choice for 2027.
2. Raffles Hotel Singapore
Raffles Hotel Singapore has spent more than a century perfecting old-world luxury, and a multi-year restoration kept the colonnaded white façade while modernizing every suite. A Condé Nast Traveller Triple Crown winner, it remains the city's most storied address — the birthplace of the Singapore Sling at the Long Bar.
Every accommodation is a suite serviced by the hotel's signature butlers, and the property added 1887 by André, a restaurant from Michelin-starred chef André Chiang. The garden courtyards, tropical palms, and Lobby afternoon tea make it feel resort-like despite its central Civic District location.
Suite rates begin near S$1,500 (about US$1,110) and rise steeply for the heritage Personality Suites. Book Raffles for heritage and ceremony — there is nothing else like it in Asia.
3. Marina Bay Sands
Marina Bay Sands is the building that defines Singapore's skyline: three 55-story towers crowned by the SkyPark and the world-famous 150-meter infinity pool floating above the bay. It is as much a destination as a hotel, with a casino, the Shoppes luxury mall, ArtScience Museum, and a roster of celebrity-chef restaurants.
The infinity pool — reserved for hotel guests — remains one of the most photographed swimming spots on earth, with unobstructed views over the financial district. Rooms are crisp and modern, and the sheer scale of amenities suits travelers who want everything under one roof.
Nightly rates swing widely by season: roughly S$750 (US$555) for a City View room off-peak, climbing past S$3,500 for premium suites and Sky villas. It is a splurge for the pool and the spectacle, and worth it once.
4. The Fullerton Bay Hotel 💎 BEST VALUE
The Fullerton Bay Hotel delivers Triple Crown–level luxury at a noticeably gentler rate than its peers, which earns it our best-value nod. Perched on stilts over Marina Bay, this glass-and-brass boutique property pairs a glamorous rooftop Lantern Bar and infinity pool with some of the best skyline views in the city.
The third Condé Nast Traveller Triple Crown holder in Singapore, it offers richly appointed rooms with private balconies overlooking the water, plus easy walking access to the Merlion, Marina Bay Sands, and the financial district. The rooftop pool at sunset is the signature experience.
Rates typically run S$650–S$900 (US$480–US$665) per night — meaningfully below Capella or Raffles while delivering comparable polish. For travelers who want award-winning luxury without the top-tier price, this is the smart pick.
5. Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa
Designed by architect Kerry Hill and set across 27 acres on Sentosa's southern cliffs, the Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa is the island's most genuine beach-resort experience, with direct access to Tanjong Beach. The 211 rooms, suites, and four private villas are spread among lush gardens and clifftop pools.
The property houses one of the largest spas in the Sofitel network and four restaurants, including the panoramic clifftop The Cliff and Pan-Asian Kwee Zeen. It is family- and pet-friendly, with a shuttle to the rest of Sentosa's attractions.
Rates generally land between S$450 and S$800 (US$330–US$590) per night. For a resort feel — gardens, beach, space — at a sensible price, Sofitel Sentosa is a standout.
6. Shangri-La Singapore
The Shangri-La Singapore is the city's original garden resort, set on 15 acres of landscaped grounds near Orchard Road — a rare expanse of greenery in a dense city. The Garden Wing rooms open onto cascading tropical foliage and balconies, giving an outdoor-resort feel minutes from the shopping belt.
A free-form outdoor pool, the kid-focused Buds play space, and multiple restaurants make it a perennial family favorite. The grounds and birdsong genuinely transport you out of the urban core.
Nightly rates start around S$460 (US$340) and average closer to S$600 in peak months. For families and garden lovers who still want Orchard Road on their doorstep, Shangri-La is hard to beat.
7. Mandarin Oriental, Singapore
Overlooking Marina Bay, the Mandarin Oriental, Singapore combines a prime waterfront position with a freshly renovated, art-filled interior. The fan-shaped tower means most rooms enjoy sweeping bay or city views, and the outdoor infinity-edge pool faces the skyline.
The property is known for refined dining — including Cantonese and contemporary Western venues — and the serene Spa at Mandarin Oriental. It sits steps from Suntec, the Esplanade theaters, and the bayfront promenade.
Rates begin near S$280 (US$210) and average around S$560 per night, making it a relatively accessible entry into bayfront luxury. Choose it for location, views, and polished service.
8. The St. Regis Singapore
Tucked between Orchard Road and the Singapore Botanic Gardens, The St. Regis Singapore is the third Triple Crown property's quieter, more residential cousin — known for its museum-worthy art collection and signature butler service. Recent interiors draw inspiration from the neighboring Botanic Gardens.
The hotel houses two of the city's most talked-about restaurants, Sophia and the Cantonese Yan Ting, plus the indulgent St. Regis afternoon tea. The leafy setting and personal butlers give it a calm, private atmosphere away from the tourist crush.
Nightly rates typically run S$600–S$900 (US$445–US$665). For travelers prioritizing discretion, art, and white-glove service over a beach, the St. Regis delivers.
9. W Singapore – Sentosa Cove
W Singapore – Sentosa Cove brings high-energy design-hotel flair to the marina-side enclave of Sentosa Cove. The 240-room property is built around the lively WET pool with its sunken bar, and the buzzing WOOBAR social scene.
Rooms are bold and color-saturated, and the resort sits beside the One°15 Marina, with yachts at the doorstep. It skews younger and livelier than the heritage hotels, with strong food-and-beverage programming and a destination spa.
Rates generally fall between S$400 and S$700 (US$295–US$520) per night. For a vibey, design-forward Sentosa stay near the marina, the W is the pick.
10. Six Senses Maxwell
Six Senses Maxwell occupies a row of restored 1920s Eu Tong Sen heritage shophouses in the Tanjong Pagar conservation district, pairing the brand's wellness focus with characterful colonial architecture. While compact and urban rather than sprawling, it earns its place for distinctive design and a strong sustainability ethos.
Rooms feature high ceilings, period detailing, and Six Senses' signature in-room wellness touches, and the property is walking distance to Chinatown, Maxwell Food Centre, and the CBD. A sister property, Six Senses Duxton, sits nearby.
Nightly rates run roughly S$450–S$700 (US$330–US$520). For travelers who value wellness, design, and authentic neighborhood texture over a poolside resort, it's a memorable choice.
