Looking for a seaside escape just minutes from the city? Shea, the founder of Little Steps Asia, recently stayed at the Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa, Singapore, and gives it two sandy thumbs up for families! This resort is a rare gem in Singapore, boasting beachfront access, lush greenery, and endless kid-friendly perks. Nestled on Siloso Beach, this is the only beachfront resort in the country, offering the perfect combo of tropical retreat and urban convenience. With activities for toddlers, tweens, and parents alike, Rasa Sentosa ticks all the boxes for a fun-packed family getaway. Think lazy beach mornings, splash-tastic afternoons, and unforgettable evenings—all wrapped up in five-star comfort and attentive service. Whether you’re planning a staycation or traveling from abroad, here’s your go-to guide on why this resort should top your list!
Sentosa is Singapore’s ultimate playground for families. From Universal Studios and the S.E.A. Aquarium to Skyline Luge and Adventure Cove Waterpark, there’s no shortage of adventure. The hotel itself sits on the quieter end of Siloso Beach, giving you a private, calm stretch of sand with easy access to all the action. The complimentary shuttle to VivoCity mall and nearby tram stops means you're never far from dining, entertainment, or emergency baby supplies! Nature trails, Fort Siloso, and a kid-friendly zipline are just a stroll away.
Shea's Insider Tips:
The resort is well-equipped with families in mind. Choose from Deluxe Sea View Rooms, Panoramic Sea View Rooms, or the ultra-spacious Family Garden Rooms, which come with direct access to the garden and are near the kids’ pool. Traveling with a bigger crew? The Deluxe Pool View Connecting Rooms give parents and kids their own space—hello, peace!
Shea's Insider Tips:
The Cool Zone Kids’ Club is a highlight, offering supervised play for children aged 5–12, complete with art corners, a giant treehouse slide, and storytelling. Kids above 5 can be dropped off anytime, and there is a slew of activities every day. The outdoor pool area includes a children’s pool with water slides and a splash pad for little ones. Lifeguards are on duty, and the beach is just steps away. For older kids and teens, there’s kayaking, paddle boarding, and even trapeze fun at the Flying Trapeze. Be sure to check out Nestopia, which is a massive outdoor playground.
Shea's Insider Tips:
Foodies rejoice! The Silver Shell Café offers a kids’ buffet station with low counters, plastic utensils, and fun, healthy options. There’s also Trapizza, a beachfront Italian restaurant with a relaxed vibe and open play area nearby (Nestopia is around the corner). Silosa Beach Bar offers yummy snacks and drinks by the beach - let's go! Mom and Dad will love the Bubble Bar for scenic views and drinks.
Shea's Insider Tips:
From beach toys and kids’ slippers to baby care kits and bath amenities, the hotel anticipates your needs. There’s also a kids' welcome counter at check-in and complimentary daily activities such as treasure hunts and sandcastle building. Parents will love the spa, fitness center, and peaceful beach loungers—perfect for sneaking in that holiday book.
