There's a secret Singapore hideaway on Sentosa Island, and the Capella has well and truly discovered it! Spread across 30 acres of tropical gardens, the uber-polished hideaway fuses 1880s colonial bungalows (think British officers' quarters) with Foster + Partners' swooping contemporary curves. Despite being the venue for that infamous Trump-Kim summit, it's refreshingly unpretentious – just brilliantly executed luxury, a mere ten minutes from Marina Bay. When in situ, sip Navegante rum at Bob's Bar whilst roaming peacocks patrol the grounds, or discover your lunar-alignment at the sumptuous Forbes Five-Star Auriga Spa. Or head further afield and discover the island with its enormous luges, ziplines and Singapore's Universal Studios.

All 112 rooms channel Indonesian designer Jaya Ibrahim's sophisticated Asian aesthetic of soothing neutral palettes and natural materials. Entry-level Premier rooms (77 square metres) are among Singapore's largest with BOSE sound systems, Nespresso machines and beautiful Aesop amenities. One step up are the villas, all with private plunge pools and outdoor bathrooms with alfresco tubs. Two Colonial Manors occupy restored heritage bungalows, each with three bedrooms. Whichever you choose, they all have touch-panel controls and a personal 'Culturist' who acts as a multi-hyphenate butler.
Capella's 'Culturists' see to every detail from getting to know your must-haves before arrival to planning epic outings.
If you fancy really indulging, the Constellation Suite has a rooftop hot tub.
Being on an island means bridge or cable car access, which isn't ideal for frequent city trips, but still manageable.
