A fresh addition to Singapore’s offshore playground, The Outpost (theoutposthotel.com.sg; doubles from S$370)
offers a modern stay that blends city sensibilities with its tropical vibes. Prioritizing personalization, the black-,
white- and metallic-toned property feels cozier than its 193 rooms—perhaps partly because of the peaceful
hallways marked by an absence of children under 12. Guests have access to two seaward-facing adults-only
pools, including a slick rooftop number that gives off beach-club sophistication. In fact, you’re indoctrinated to
the club at check-in, when a bartender shakes up your fresh welcome drink and presents it in a copper
pineapple. It’s non-alcoholic, but it’s still super cute. As is the pick-your-own-minibar, offering a bounty of five
gourmet snacks and drinks of your choosing, ensuring you get exactly the nosh you want—and reducing food
waste. The hotel’s green cred extends to a ban on single-use plastics and in-room water filtration that allows you
to drink from the tap. The large, powerful showers will tempt you to linger, but venture out: you’re seven
minutes from the beach with all its F&B and entertainment options, or just chill on property and hit up the
adorable V W food truck in the garden. And look out for new sister hotel The Barracks, a 40-room restored
heritage building next door, opening in October. – JENINNE LEE-ST. JOHNno. (^1)
