==Geography== |
|||
Sentosa Cove is divided into two main areas, the ''North Cove'', and the ''South Cove''. Each cove comprises both bungalow and condominium residential plots, with most units configured to either face the artificially-created sheltered waterways, or the open sea. Straddling between the two is a planned commercial area, known as the ''Marina Village'', which includes a [[hotel]] and a [[marina]]. |
|||
==Attractions== |
|||
The ''North Cove'' has three [[artificial island]]s called Coral Island, Paradise Island and Treasure Island, all of which are surrounded by an artificial marina enclosed by an outer ring of reclaimed land. Collectively, the ''North Cove'' will have 1,528 residential units comprising of 214 bungalows, 30 terraced houses, and 1,284 condominium units. |
|||
There are multiple attractions found in the Sentosa Cove enclave, including hotels and F&B outlets. |
|||
===Hotels=== |
|||
There are six condominium sites, of which four were successful sold to private developers. [[The Azure]] by [[Centrepoint Homes]], and [[The Oceanfront @ Sentosa Cove]] by [[City Developments Limited]] each held very successful sales campaigns, with units being booked very rapidly even before their respective launches in 2006. Two other plots, known as the ''Berth by the Cove'' (awarded to [[Ho Bee Group]]) and the ''Baywater Collection'' of three condominium parcels, were expected to be launched soon. There are also two significant sites for landed housing, namely the ''Hillside Collection'', and the ''Lakefront Collection''. |

===Spas=== |
|||
Bungalow plots in the ''South Cove'' were launched only in the second half of 2006 after the successful sale of most plots in the ''North Cove'', with an eventual total of 156 units. Another 816 condominium units in four sites are also to be sold, for a total of 972 homes in the ''South Cove''. Demand for these homes is expected to be higher than in the north due to the better sea views offered. With a geographic configuration similar to the north, it also has a sheltered waterway with two artificial islands (Pearl Island and Sandy Island). |
