Sentosa Island, Singapore

Singapore's resort island, just off the south coast and joined to the city by a road bridge, a monorail and a cable car. It has three beaches (Siloso, Palawan and Tanjong), Resorts World Sentosa with Universal Studios Singapore and the S.E.A. Aquarium, adventure parks, golf courses and many hotels and beach bars.

The best way there is the cable car from Mount Faber or HarbourFront, with views over the harbour and city. The Sentosa Express monorail from VivoCity mall (HarbourFront MRT) is cheaper and quicker, and you can also walk across the Sentosa Boardwalk from VivoCity.

Free beach trams and buses get you around the island. Palawan Beach has a suspension bridge to a small islet that claims to be the southernmost point of continental Asia.
