In today’s event landscape, sustainability is no longer a trend, it’s an essential. As expectations grow for eco-conscious meetings, hotels across Asia have upped the ante in creating meaningful experiences that are innovative, inclusive and environmentally responsible. 

As part of the Sentosa Carbon Neutral Network, Far East Hospitality (FEH) leads the way in green event venues with four GSTC-certified properties nestled together on Singapore’s Sentosa island. The Barracks Hotel Sentosa, Oasia Resort Sentosa, The Outpost Hotel Sentosa, and Village Hotel Sentosa, offer a dynamic mix of beautiful settings, conscious choices, and eco-friendly wellness activities for a creative and sustainable MICE experience.

Eco-minded venues that fit every format

Set against a backdrop of lush greenery and heritage charm, FEH’s Event Centre and four properties house over 1,800sqm of flexible meeting space.

As the largest property in FEH’s Sentosa precinct, the 606-room Village Hotel Sentosa is purpose-built for large groups and corporate functions. It provides planners with a vibrant, resort-style setting and a strong commitment to green practices, alongside three distinctive properties: the wellness-led Oasia Resort Sentosa with 191 rooms and suites, The Barracks Hotel Sentosa, an exclusive 40-room heritage hideaway, and The Outpost Hotel Sentosa, a stylish, adult-centric escape with 193 rooms. 

Together, the four properties offer access to over 1,800 sqm of flexible meeting spaces and outdoor venues surrounded by greenery and heritage charm. Event planners can explore creative possibilities at Village Hotel Sentosa’s pool deck or at The Barracks Lawn, perfect for a tropical garden soiree. For corporate meetings, choose from a collection of inviting venues such as The Aloes at Oasia Resort Sentosa, Village Square, Breakout Rooms and Revelry Hall at the Events Centre, which have floor-to-ceiling glass windows that welcome abundant natural light, reducing the energy required for electrical lighting.

At Village Square, glass panels allow for an abundance of sunlight to flow through, reducing energy required for electrical lighting.

Green touches that make a difference

Every thoughtful touch helps reduce your event's environmental footprint while enhancing the attendee experience at Village Hotel Sentosa. Sustainable welcome gifts for their guests, such as a dehydrated fruit snack pack made in-house, add a thoughtful touch to their event, while premium Nordaq filtered water served in reusable glass bottles eliminates single-use disposables. 

For deeper immersion, the hotels offer a suite of fun, eco-conscious activities that can be seamlessly incorporated into any MICE programme, from edible cutlery-making workshops to pesto parties and farm-to-table smoothie bars, featuring fresh produce harvested from its gardens onsite. Oasia Spa also conducts engaging wellness workshops, where guests can learn to make body scrubs, bath bombs and balms using natural ingredients and scents.

Eco-friendly wellness activities, such as DIY body scrub workshops, can be easily incorporated into any MICE experience.

Creative cuisine with sustainable flair

With food being an integral part of any successful event, curating a delicious yet sustainable menu is key. At Village Hotel Sentosa and its sister properties, chefs craft event menus with both the planet and palate in mind, marrying vibrant local flavours with sustainably sourced ingredients through wholesome delights such as Pumpkin Laksa Soup, Meatless Assam ‘Fish’ Curry, or Eggless Gula Melaka Cake with Toasted Coconut. 

The restaurants in the precinct also use fresh vegetables and herbs harvested from its onsite Edible Garden and Grobrix Vertical Farm at Oasia Spa. Shorter supply chains mean fewer emissions and less packaging, while using every part of the ingredient from root to tip minimises food waste and the impact on the environment. 

This commitment to creative sustainability even extends beyond the plate: leftover coffee grounds, for instance, are repurposed into hand scrubs for use at mobile spa stations or in DIY scrub workshops, connecting guests with a full-circle, waste-reducing experience.

Going from boardroom to beach

With its prime location on Sentosa, Village Hotel Sentosa lets delegates effortlessly transition from business mode to beach mode, with sun, sea, and spa experiences right at its doorstep. After a productive session, guests can explore nearby attractions, unwind at the beach, or retreat to family-friendly pools. For those travelling with children, the hotel’s spacious rooms and themed pool zones make it the perfect bleisure base.

Need some reprieve from the fatigue of a long day of meetings? Escape to the tranquillity of Oasia Spa and be soothed by the healing hands of its expert spa therapists. Catch the sunset at the beach or explore Sentosa’s numerous eateries and attractions, all without the additional carbon costs of a city commute. With an endless array of ways to eat, play and chill on the island, even leisure time can be made sustainable beyond the main event.
