Capella Singapore

Capella Singapore sits on Sentosa, the resort island just off Singapore's southern coast, looking out over the South China Sea. The hotel is built around two restored 19th-century colonial bungalows, with modern wings by Foster + Partners designed to sit quietly in the tropical gardens.

There are 112 rooms, suites and manors, including Colonial Manors with their own plunge pools, plus the Auriga spa and the Cantonese restaurant Cassia. What sets it apart for a wedding is the choice of outdoor spots for vows, from the gardens to a breezy patio facing the sea, with a city hotel's polish only a short drive from the centre.

For the ceremony, Garden of Dreams sits among heritage trees with the colonial buildings behind, and Horizon's Verge is a breezy patio facing the sea. Each takes up to 80 guests, with two hours of use and Sentosa access for guests included. Couples can also marry beside the cascading pools, or in the Gallery or Portico. Receptions run in the Sentosa Room, glass-walled and for up to 180, or the Grand Ballroom for up to 400, a circular room under a glass art dome. Ask the team about backup indoor spaces and finish times.

With 112 rooms, suites and manors, there is space on site for a good part of the guest list, and the ballroom packages include a room night for the couple. For bigger groups, ask the team about room blocks, and about other Sentosa hotels for overflow.

Around the wedding, guests have the pools, the Auriga spa, Sentosa's beaches and a short hop into the city for Marina Bay, the food halls and the gardens. Ask the team about transfer times from Changi Airport.
