Sentosa is a popular island resort in Singapore. It is visited by some five million people a year. Sentosa is an island just off the southern coast of Singapore. It is formerly known by the rather unattractive name of Pulau Belakang Mati ("The Island After Death" in Malay) and the centrepiece of Britain's unsuccessful "Fortress Singapore" strategy in World War II, Sentosa has been rebranded and resculpted into one big tourist attraction, popular among Singaporeans as a quick island getaway. 

Attractions include a 2 km (1.2 mi) long sheltered beach, Fort Siloso, two golf courses, two five-star hotels, an enormous complex comprising a Universal Studios theme-park  Singapore's first casino, shopping malls and hotels. The island's coastline is marked by three beaches, each with its own distinct characteristics – Siloso Beach, Palawan Beach and Tanjong Beach. Except enjoy the view of beach, tourists also can do some exciting recreational activities such as beach volleyball, wave-riding  cycling, rollerblading and kayaking.


Underwater World Singapore is an incredible one-stop destination for the family.
