All you need to know about the opening of Tanjong Beach Club, from the menu (with prices!) to the entertainment line-up and minimum spend on those gorgeous daybeds.
Have you heard? The iconic Tanjong Beach Club has reopened after a four-month facelift with a new look and menu – but it retains the same laidback vibes. “This is the life,” I thought to myself when I walked in. Who doesn’t aspire to be one of the people chilling by a pool at a beach club in Sentosa on a random Wednesday afternoon? I was obviously late to the party.
Tanjong Beach Club review: What I love about the revamped beach club

Think of the space as a Palm Springs-esque mid-modern century playground filled with pops of terracotta, yellow and red, contrasting beautifully with tropical cacti and flora landscaping (designed by This Humid House). That did the trick of disconnecting me from the city.
There are different zones (more on this below), each offering its own vibe depending on the time of day. Walk straight ahead, and you’ll find the main dining area that seamlessly transitions from indoor to outdoor. Here, you won’t miss the massive mural by local artist Aeropalmics.
I love how the bar on your right flows right into the VIP lounge. The star of the show is the pool area. It’s pure relaxation, lined with custom daybeds and palm trees inviting you to linger in that vacation state of mind.
Even the restrooms are just as chic! While you’re on your way there, don’t forget to stop at the cool retail space that blends beach-day staples with design-forward finds from around the world. Think celeb-loved swimsuits from Kiohne (Greece), hand-woven raffia hats by Jace Banu (Australia) and cult bottle bags by Singapore’s Tanchen Studio. I’m still dreaming about those leather fans shaped like fish by Indonesia’s Pu Bu Mé Su.
Food that goes beyond the usual beach bites
When I think beach club food, my mind immediately gravitates towards a no-frills margarita and club sandwich combo – maybe even a tuna tartare if things get fancy. Perhaps chef Mong Zhen Yew (formerly from Osteria Mozza and Spago) knows that too and wants to prove us wrong. Spoiler alert: he succeeds. Wood-fired coastal cuisine shines throughout the menu.
Think grilled oysters with lardo-garlic butter ($27 for three; $52 for six), smoky Hokkaido scallop aguachile ($34), and a lobster tabbouleh ($32) that tasted like summer in a bowl. The wood-fired grill (only fired up after 12pm, FYI) is where the magic happens. The dry-aged barramundi ($36 filet, $78 whole) hits all the right notes, but the wood-fired half chicken ($36)? I can’t help but judge a little when someone orders plain old boring chicken, but this was an unexpected star. And don’t sleep on the wild mushrooms ($16) – they’re rich, meaty and coated in an umami bomb of a sauce.
Cocktails with main character energy
If you’re not sipping a margarita by the pool, you’re doing it wrong. The new drinks menu (crafted with cocktail crew Cat Bite Club) is made for day-to-night sipping. I started with the cucumber-cool Tanjong Coast ($25) followed by the Weekend at Margie’s ($23) with tequila, Aperol and passion fruit for something layered. Want drama? Order a drinks package (from $418) for a magnum of bubbly. There are also exclusive bottles like the Gounel-Lassalle Esprit Voyageur to make it a party.
Music that keeps the vibes high
Of course, the party element still stands strong at the beach club. Expect nu-disco, balearic grooves and soulful house curated by DJs who’ve spun at Coachella and Wonderfruit. Their label, Silk Road Sounds, is all about spotlighting emerging artists from Asia and beyond. Check Tanjong Beach Club’s Instagram page for the monthly DJ line-up.
