Island escape at Bob's Bar

FOR those of us seeking to get away from it all without actually leaving the country, Bob's Bar at Capella Singapore on Sentosa provides ideal vacation vibes.

The reward for heading so far south: panoramic sea views, to be enjoyed either through the full-length windows of the indoor bar area, or from a lounge chair in the expansive al fresco terrace.

The bar opens from mid-afternoon, affording plenty of time for enjoying the resort feel as the sky slips towards sunset.
