Tanjong Beach Club

Live Music $$$ ★ 4.6

Tanjong Beach Club is Sentosa's open-air beach lounge — house-DJ-driven, sunset-timed, with a pool, a sound system, and a cocktail programme that is more capable than most beach clubs are. The right call for a long Sunday.

The room is built around an oval pool fronting the beach. Day beds line the pool; the bar runs the length of the west side; the kitchen does Mediterranean-inflected small plates. The day starts slow (DJs from 1pm) and ends around 10pm; this is not a late-night destination.

The DJ programme is well chosen for the format — Balearic, deep house, disco-edits, occasional live percussion. The Sunday Tanjong Sessions, run by the in-house team, are the booking that pulls travellers and locals together. Day-bed reservations are essential on weekends and the minimum spend is S$300–S$500 depending on the position; the bar seats are walk-in.

The cocktail list is short and built for the heat. The Tanjong Spritz — Aperol, prosecco, soda, fresh basil, salt rim — is the bar's signature and the right opening order. The Frozen Daiquiri is well made (white rum, fresh lime, palm sugar) and the menu's wine programme is unusually deep for a beach club. Tanjong is the right call when you want music and water and not very much else.

Best time to visit: Weekday evenings before 9pm for the quieter version of the room; weekends after 9pm for the busier one. Reservations recommended where the bar accepts them.
