Beach Villas, Equarius Villas ($1,056 per night
Nestled at the western tip of Resorts World Sentosa are its Beach Villas that’ll transport you to a seaside escapade.

Alternatively, you can opt for a one-bedroom villa. Granted, it might have its own personal pool but it does open out to the free form pool outside — which is pretty darn huge on its own. Plus, because there are only a handful of one-bedroom villas on site, you’ve pretty much got a huge pool space for yourself!
