Скачать или смотреть Sentosa Island ( SINGAPORE ) 🇸🇬 - A Traveller's Memoirs

Sentosa is an island located off the southern coast of Singapore's main island. It is separated from the main island of Singapore by a channel of water, the Keppel Harbour.

Sentosa was formerly known as Pulau Blakang Mati which in Malay means the "Island of Death Behind".


The name Sentosa translates to "peace and tranquility" in Malay, which was in turn derived from the Sanskrit term Santosha, meaning "contentment, satisfaction".

Formerly used as a British military base and afterwards as a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp, the island was renamed Sentosa in the 1970s to become a popular tourist destination. It is now home to a popular resort that receives up to 25 million visitors per year.
