Head Chef

Tanjong Beach Club was conceived to celebrate our tropical weather and foster a local beach culture. The restaurant, bar, club and retail space sits on Singapore’s best strip of sand in Sentosa, providing an urban getaway where beach-goers retreat to savour coastal cuisine and artisanal cocktails while lounging on daybeds by the pool or relaxing indoors. The experience is enhanced by panoramic views of the sea and underscored by upbeat music. The Beach Shop retails carefully curated products and house-branded merchandise, advocating an idyllic beach life.
