In a world where our cherished canine companions are unequivocally family, the pursuit of truly inclusive luxury experiences has never been more paramount. Happily, Singapore’s trailblazer in pet-friendly hospitality, Amara Sanctuary Sentosa, has once again raised the bar. Following comprehensive property enhancements completed in 2024, the resort now unwraps an elevated Pampered Paws package, alongside exciting new pet dining and celebratory experiences that redefine indulgence for four-legged guests and their devoted human counterparts.
From the moment my dogs, and I arrived at the lush, sprawling grounds of Amara Sanctuary, a sense of serene anticipation enveloped us. Known for its spacious accommodations and verdant natural surroundings, this biophilic resort has always been a favoured retreat. But with pets increasingly integral to our lives, Amara’s continuous commitment to enhancing its pet-centric offerings solidifies its reputation as the benchmark in Singapore – indeed, the first pet-friendly hotel on Sentosa.
An Elevated Escape for Pets and Their Owners
Our stay, nestled within a beautifully renovated Courtyard Suite, immediately felt like a harmonious blend of refined comfort and boundless joy for us. The refreshed Pampered Paws package is truly a testament to Amara’s thoughtful approach. Upon entering our suite, we discovered an upgraded amenity box brimming with premium dog treats and essential pet comforts – a delightful welcome! The convenience of the e-Pampered Paws Pocket Guide, thoughtfully curated with scenic walking trails and Instagram-worthy photo spots across the sprawling resort, ensured our days were filled with picture-perfect moments and happy explorations.
A Gastronomic Journey for Pups
The culinary experience for pets at Amara Sanctuary is nothing short of extraordinary. In a pioneering collaboration with Wholesome Paws, renowned for crafting human-grade pet meals in an AVS-licensed kitchen, our furry friends can now embark on a gourmet journey. The Bark Breakfast, featuring a wholesome spinach and tomato frittata with English sausage, paw scone, and banana pancakes, was a hearty start. Alternatively, the Ohayo Breakfast offered a delightful Japanese-inspired spread of tamagoyaki, saba shioyaki, salmon shiozake, pork and pumpkin onigiri, and miso soup – a truly unique offering. For those seeking something similar the Pawsh Breakfast offers spinach and tomato frittata, beef and broccoli casserole, and a salmon pawffle.
Beyond breakfast, the curated À La Carte Menu continued to impress with human-grade gourmet dishes like comforting beef or pork cottage pie, a savoury salmon pawffle, pork meatzza, and even chicken or beef satay. What truly elevated the experience was the ability to dine together at the alfresco area of Sanctuary Tearoom – a simple luxury that makes all the difference. For our senior companions, the newly introduced Gently Cooked Meal option is a compassionate touch.
And for the ultimate afternoon indulgence? The Furkid High Tea Set (S$42++) is a whimsical feast, complete with delectable salmon blinis, egg ‘mayo’ bruschetta, adorable pork pupcakes, and savoury tarts – served right in our suite or at the charming Sanctuary Tearoom’s alfresco.
Pawsome Picnics & Celebratory Parties
Amara Sanctuary’s dedication to holistic pet experiences shines through its new Family Pupnic option (S$145++). The convenience of collecting a curated picnic bag from the lobby and finding a tranquil spot amidst the resort’s lush gardens or the nearby Palawan Beach was a highlight. It’s the perfect way to embrace the natural beauty of Sentosa together.
For those truly special occasions, the newly launched Pawty Package takes pet celebrations to a new level. Whether it’s a birthday or an adoption anniversary, themed décor and gourmet pet-friendly treats at the elegant Glass Pavilion or Sanctuary Tearoom’s alfresco area promise an unforgettable celebration tailored to any party size.
The Luxury of Integrated Companionship
Amara Sanctuary Sentosa, welcoming pets of all sizes and up to two furry companions per room (with a nominal additional charge for a second pet), has truly cemented its position as a pioneer. It’s not just about providing a place for pets to stay; it’s about creating a seamless, integrated, and genuinely luxurious experience where every member of the family is celebrated. For discerning pet owners seeking an opulent escape that perfectly blends comfort, culinary excellence, and curated experiences, Amara Sanctuary Sentosa offers an unparalleled retreat. It is, without a doubt, a destination where luxury is truly unleashed.
