The best beach clubs in Singapore

The latest beach club to join Sentosa's bevy of beachside party venues is +Twelve. Located in new mega attraction The Palawan @ Sentosa, this beachside venue has 12 cabanas with private plunge pools and daybeds for all-day lounging, as well as an infinity pool and swim-up bar. Nibble on sandwiches, salads, and bar bites with a signature cocktail in hand while grooving to beats spun up by live DJs and entertainment acts. 

Tanjong Beach Club happens to be the top choice for beach bums due to its laid-back vibe, buxom crowd and refined plates. Got that urge to unleash your inner party animal? Look out for its seaside jamborees like the Smack My Beach Up and Barefoot Tiki Nights series. If you're feeling famished, hit up its all-day menu inspired by coastal cuisine from around the world, as well as some healthy options such as fruit salads and acai bowls. Pair your plate with a fresh, tropical flavoured cocktail to quench your thirst after a day spent flaunting – or checking out – that bikini bod.

Soak up the sun at Rumours Beach Club, a chic spot situated right on Siloso Beach. It boasts a gorgeous infinity pool with an unobstructed view of the sea, surrounded by sofas and daybeds perfect for lounging. Or, you can splash on one of eight private cabanas or even a private pool area if you're hosting an intimate gathering. Fire up the grill with the Jimbaran Bali BBQ, a majestic spread featuring grilled bamboo lobster, whole red snapper, grilled tiger prawns, whole squid and white clams. Rumours Beach Club also keeps up a string of DJs and live acts to keep the vibes going from day to night. 

Splash Tribe is a family-friendly beach club at The Palawan @ Sentosa. The main draw is the sandcastle-themed wet playground, where kids can have a ton of fun with the slides, water jets and streamers. The beach club also has al fresco seating – think daybeds, sun loungers, two-storey private gazebos – and an infinity pool right by the beach. For refreshment, take your pick from healthy protein bowls, wraps, and sandwiches alongside milkshakes, cocktails, and mocktails. 

The Sand Bar offers beach lovers a cozy bar to chill-out with a range of refreshing beach cocktails and beers, including its signature fruity mojito. With a stage facing the sea, it's the only proper live music venue on Siloso Beach. Immerse yourself in eclectic soundtracks to the beat of rhythmic waves while trying Sand Bar's new beach platters.

Island life just got a whole lot more interesting with Ola Beach Club, Singapore’s only Hawaiian-themed lifestyle venue. Not only can you savour Hawaiian-style dishes like ahi poke bowls served with your choice of marinated tuna and Kalua pig tacos, the beach shack also rents out a host of water sports equipment like water-propelled jet packs for daredevils who want to try their hand at flying up to nine-metres in the air.

Taking a piece of Barcelona with it, FOC Sentosa is the sister outlet to the popular restaurant on HongKong Street but with a more laid-back vibe. The two-storey beach house is split into two wings, one with a focus on food and the other on drinks. Laze by the side of its private pool, cocktail in hand, and take in the sunset before heading in to enjoy a feast of grilled seafood and paella. 

What’s a trip to the beach without lazing on a deckchair? At this sprawling seaside restaurant in Sentosa, you can do just that and more. Besides tropical cocktails, Coastes stocks a formidable array of draft and bottled beers, and the nosh is unfussy yet vibrant enough to live up to the restaurant’s beachy vibe. Go for the refreshing citrus crab salad or – if you’ve little ones in tow – one of the many pizzas on the menu.

Bikini Bar's boasts a colourful design and a cheery vibe, as well as a neat selection of icy beers, cocktails and small bites such as chicken wings, tacos and nachos. You don't even have to miss all your favourite sports action as matches like football, tennis and rugby are screened here. Alternatively, you can laze around in the sun or get hot and sweaty playing beach games here, because as its motto says, 'life's a beach!' 

Sandbank is big on family-fun, and it shows – the casual diner has a 15m plunge pool that spans the front of the outlet, with a third of the pool dedicated to children and the rest to adults. With a drinks menu that features a wide array of draught beers, wines and cocktails, parents can unwind and sip on their beverage of choice while the little ones have their fun. Food offerings here include handmade pizzas in a variety of flavours like BBQ pulled pork, pastas like the traditional bolognese, as well as chargrilled meats and seafood, cooked in an open kitchen.
