Hero Image: Boaters’ Bar at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove Hero Video: Expat Choice Asia
Sentosa has seen some awesome free-for-all beach party's over the years, but these days it really does pride itself on quality over quantity.
There are your usual draw cards for food & beverage options like Universal studios located in Resorts World Sentosa. Quayside Isle is a good place to "people watch" and enjoy a wide selection of international cafes and restaurants - all in one place. Then we have family beach retreats such as Palawan and Siloso beaches with loads of cafes and spots to grab a cool beer.
But what about hitting the Island, which is located just a few minutes’ drive from the busy financial centre of Singapore - for some memorable catch-up time away from the throbbing beats of EDM mixes and dare I say...away from joyous little brats screaming on the beach (not yours of course)... and visit some of these more chilled spots that offer a more sophisticated experience.
Panamericana
This is a slice of heaven when it comes to living and working in Singapore. Located at the Sentosa Golf Club the aptly-named Panamericana bar and restaurant, which overlooks the South China Sea is spread across a 7,000 square feet area has a massive bar and specialises in farm-to-fire cuisine prepared on an Argentinian grill. Treat yourself to a flame grilled steak and order one of the bar’s tongue-in-cheek cocktails. The Grown Up Fanta is a spin on the Aperol Sprtiz. Well worth the tipple. more information here
