About this hotel
General information
Capella Singapore is an urban resort on a knoll of Sentosa Island, set in 30 acres of rainforest and landscaped gardens that look out over the South China Sea. At its core stand two restored bungalows from the 1880s on the site known as Tanah Merah, Malay for “red earth”; a contemporary wing of sweeping curves extends from them, shaped to follow the land and the greenery around it.
There are 113 rooms, suites, villas and manors, plus a separate residences complex for short stays. More than 900 works of art – sculpture and painting alike – were woven into the interiors from the construction stage onwards. The resort is known for Auriga Spa and its moon-cycle treatments, Cassia’s Cantonese cooking, a cocktail bar inside the heritage building and its Culturists, a team that introduces guests to Singapore’s history and culture. For events there is a circular, pillarless ballroom crowned by a glass dome.
Location
The resort is on Sentosa Island, just over 10 minutes by car from central Singapore and 26 km from Changi Airport; the hotel’s Culturist team arranges airport transfers. A private trail leads from the grounds to Palawan Beach, and a shuttle runs to the VivoCity shopping centre on the main island.
Spa
Auriga Spa takes its name from the constellation whose brightest star is Capella, and its approach follows the lunar cycle, with signature treatments matched to the energy of each phase. More than 1,114 m² hold nine treatment suites with private gardens, four of them for couples, separate men’s and women’s areas with a vitality pool, herbal steam room, ice fountain and experience showers, and a relaxation lounge. Therapists use Dr. Levy, Margy’s Monte Carlo and Biologique Recherche; among the signatures is Senja Sunyi, a massage with warm moon stones, stretches and an argan oil and shea butter balm.
Sports & leisure
The 24-hour fitness centre on the first floor is equipped by Technogym, and three cascading outdoor pools sit among the gardens. The Culturists put together activities in the resort and beyond: cooking masterclasses, cocktail crafting, mahjong lessons with a master, art walks, traditional crafts and local food, yoga and sound baths. The Living Room hosts small daily cultural sessions and workshops with local craftspeople, and resident guests enter Sentosa, with its beaches, trails and attractions, free of charge.
For children
The Little Stars programme is designed for young guests: led by the Culturists, children discover stories of Sentosa and Singapore through craft and culture workshops, cooking sessions, scavenger hunts around the grounds and seasonal activities. Babysitting is available on request.
Restaurants & bars
The resort’s restaurants and bars move between Italian and Cantonese cooking, local dishes and cocktails, and private dining can be arranged at any of them.

In-room dining runs around the clock.
