Sentosa Island has several beach clubs where you can spend the day (or evening) with drinks, food, and direct beach access. The main options are Tanjong Beach Club, Wavehouse Sentosa, and Ola Beach Club, each sitting along Sentosa’s southern shoreline and catering to slightly different crowds.
The Main Beach Clubs on Sentosa
Tanjong Beach Club is the most established name on the strip. Located at Tanjong Beach, it operates a pool, bar, and restaurant in a relaxed open-air setting. Weekend pool parties draw a mixed crowd of locals and tourists, and entry typically requires a minimum spend rather than a flat cover charge. Food runs from wood-fired pizzas to grilled mains, and the bar list covers cocktails, wines, and spirits. It opens from 11am on weekdays and earlier on weekends.
Ola Beach Club sits at Siloso Beach and has a more family-friendly, Hawaiian-influenced feel. It offers beach volleyball, paddleboarding, kayaking, and a full bar and kitchen. There is no pool, but direct beach access is the draw here. It is one of the few clubs on the island where you can rent water sports equipment on the day without a prior booking.
Wavehouse Sentosa, also at Siloso Beach, centres around a FlowRider surf simulator alongside its bar and dining area. It skews younger and is a reasonable choice if you want activity rather than lounging. Entry to the surf simulator is charged separately from food and drink.
Practical Details Worth Knowing
All three clubs are accessible via the Sentosa Express, bus, or cable car, with Siloso Beach and Tanjong Beach being the two relevant stops depending on where you are headed. Sentosa’s beach areas charge an admission fee to enter the island by car, though pedestrian access from VivoCity remains free.
Reservations are strongly recommended on Saturdays and Sundays, particularly for Tanjong Beach Club. Walk-ins are possible on weekdays with little trouble. Dress codes are generally casual smart, and swimwear at the table is acceptable given the beach setting. Prices for cocktails sit in the $22 to $28 SGD range, and food mains average $28 to $45 SGD.
Most clubs operate until around midnight on weekends and close earlier mid-week. Sentosa’s last Sentosa Express train leaves at midnight, so factor transport into your plans if you are staying late.
