Sentosa Island Map Songs of the Sea – multimedia show at Sentosa Island Sentosa Island Map Image not found http://www.mapsofworld.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Sentosa-Island-Map.jpg Map of Sentosa Island Facts about Sentosa Island The island is very old, dating back to the 14th century, when the Sentosa map first appeared on the globe. As early as the 19th century, British colonialists arrived in the island, whose populace made their living from the water, either by harvesting turtle eggs, fishing or by navigating ships. It was at this time; the island came to be known as, “Pulau Belakang Mati” translated as “the Island of Death from Behind”. The reason for this could be that the island was a “pirates’ lair”, and many ships got raided along the way, believes Timothy Barnard, an Associate Professor of History at the National University of Singapore. Some historical records, however indicate that the name was derived from a malaria outbreak that killed many residents in the 1840s. ‘Sentosa’ translates as ‘peace and tranquility’ in Malay. The word originates from the Sanskrit word, ‘Santosha’, which means ‘contentment’. The island’s secondary rainforest is inhabited by a variety of native flora and fauna, including parrots, peacocks, monkeys and monitor lizards. During the construction of the Resorts World Sentosa, this environment was minimally impacted as two hundred trees in the designated area were planted elsewhere on the island. The island is popular for ‘Fish Reflexology’, a massage available in most of the spas, where Turkish or African fish are made to nibble on the feet’s dead skin, thus making it smooth. These sessions are very popular in the Underwater World. Fort Siloso on the western side of the island still has old tunneled underground passages, bunkers, and gun emplacements, dating back to the late 19th century. This former military base was captured by the Japanese and was used as a prisoner-of-war camp in World War II. It was returned to the Republic by the British War Office in 1967, as part of the withdrawal of British Troops from Singapore. The island was developed into a recreational center in 1972 and has since been managed by the Sentosa Development Corporation. It even won the 9th Tourism Award in 1994 for the “Leisure Attraction of the Year”. Where is Sentosa Island? The easiest way to reach Sentosa, Singapore is by the Singapore Cable Car that not only promises an easy journey but also a lovely aerial view of the Singapore skyline along with picturesque views of the exotic island. To get here, alight at HarbourFront MRT and take Exit B (HarbourFront Centre) and then follow the signs leading to the Singapore Cable Car station at HarbourFront Tower II. The Cable car operates daily from 8:45 am to 10 pm and the last boarding time is 9:30 pm. Tickets are priced at S$18 for kids and S$29 for adults. In fact, you can also travel by foot to Sentosa, thanks to the Sentosa Boardwalk, a leisurely stroll from the VivoCity Shopping Mall’s waterfront promenade. This has been made further easy with two-way canopy travelators. Guests can leave their cars behind on mainland Singapore and take the MRT to HarbourFront station at VivoCity Shopping Mall and then make their way through Sentosa Boardwalk. The Sentosa Boardwalk is open 24 hours, but the travelators operate only from 7 am to 12 am. Only $1 is charged per person on weekdays. But the Boardwalk is made free to people on weekends and other public holidays. Sentosa is also very well connected by public transport. You can take the North-East Line or Circle Line and alight at the HarbourFront Station. From there, you can either go to the 3rd level of VivoCity shopping mall and take a leisurely stroll down the Sentosa Boardwalk or you can transfer onto the Sentosa Express. Ticket prices vary. The Sentosa Express, located at VivoCity (Lobby L, Level 3), provides easy access to Sentosa, HarbourFront Center and St. James Power Station. Ticket fares are S$4 per person. Best time to visit Sentosa Island Sentosa’s climate echoes the hot climate of Singapore. The beach air though cools and refreshes your soul. A perfect seaside holiday, the ideal time to visit Sentosa, would be in June-August as November and December fall in the rainy season.

    "Must Visit Attractions in Singapore" Created by: Cityseeker 16 Locations Bookmarked Merlion Park "Singapore's National Emblem" Standing guard at the mouth of the Singapore River is the Merlion, a mythical beast that is a cross between a fish and a lion.

The panoramic views by Sarah_Ackerman from of Singapore are staggering, and on a clear day, far-off islands belonging New York, USA. to Malaysia and Indonesia can be seen. The Skypark is the size of three football fields and also contains lush tropical gardens, souvenir stands and gourmet restaurants.
