Previously a pirates’ haven, Keppel Bay is now envisaged to be a vibrant, integrated waterfront hub for living, working, and playing. Instead of the orang lauts (sea gypsies) who used to inhabit the area, Keppel Bay now shelters the individuals who are driving 21st industries like infocomm, biotechnology, and finance. From an under-developed area, Keppel Bay is currently well-poised to transform Singapore’s southern shoreline into a world-class waterfront precinct.
Sight-seeing and Attractions
Nested within Keppel Bay sits Keppel Island, Singapore’s only private island. Decked with luxury yachts and boats for private rental, Keppel Island is a water playground for lovers of sailing. The well-manicured lawns on the island also allow you to enjoy a quiet picnic with your family and friends. Thanks to the convenience of Keppel Bay Bridge, it is easy to access the island to enjoy the scenic view that it provides.
Home to Sentosa Integrated Resort and a variety of attractions, Sentosa is located just beside Keppel Island. The casino allows adults can enjoy an exciting gaming experience while the younger ones have fun at either Universal Studios Singapore or Adventure Cove Waterpark. Couples can also enjoy a romantic date at Madame Tussauds Museum and end the day with a stroll along the beaches.
There are also various recreational activities that you can enjoy such as hiking at Mount Faber, golfing at the Keppel Golf Club, lawn bowling at Keppel Club, as well as shopping at VivoCity and Harbourfront Centre. If you like adventures, simply take a cruise from Harbourfront Centre to Bintan or Batam (Indonesia).
Keppel Bay also provides you with sumptuous food that fills your hunger pangs.
At PRIVÉ, you can enjoy a 3-in-1 dining concept - a casual café that serves award-winning brunches, a waterfront bar that serves premium alcohols, as well as a modern grill that serves top quality steaks and decadent desserts. PRIVÉ is highly recommended by locals and the media.
Another dining place is Takumi Tokyo Restaurant, which is known for delivering a unique combination of three authentic Japanese culinary styles - Robatayaki, Teppanyaki and a-la-carte menu.
Kith Café, well-known for its good coffee, is a great hangout place for both the young and old.
Opened by 25 Michelin star receiver Joël Robuchon, L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon’s presentation immerses you into a dining experience where you are part of the action. Separated by a counter between kitchen and main dining area, Mr Robuchon has likened L'Atelier to an artist's studio. You can witness chefs’ cooking process of innovative dishes right before you. And chefs have the pleasure of watching you enjoy your meal. Consequently, the level of interaction between chefs and diners will be heightened, encouraging the chefs to improve their craft.
