Capella Singapore Gave Its Residence-Like Bungalows a Makeover

The bungalows at Capella Singapore just got a major upgrade.

The singular Capella Manor and the two Colonial Manors at the five-star resort have undergone a full refresh. Designed to mimic a private residence, all three accommodations contain three ensuite bedrooms; separate living, dining, and study rooms; and a private terrace and pool.

“This redesign showcases Capella’s commitment to creating spaces that not only celebrate our heritage but also provide a warm and welcoming environment where guests can seamlessly transition their lifestyle from home to the manors,” Yngvar Stray, the general manager of Capella Singapore, said in a statement. “By incorporating personal touches and timeless furnishings, we invite guests to immerse themselves in a tranquil retreat that feels uniquely theirs.”

The Capella Manor has been done up by the interior decorator Simone Haag, who aimed for a contemporary-chic design. Throughout the manor, you’ll encounter neutral tones, subtly patterned wallpapers and fabrics, and foliage that nods to the property’s 30 acres of greenery. The living room features a lantern that casts leafy shadows and a custom rug with notes of olive, off-white, and brown. Haag has also sourced vintage touches like a pair of Swedish carved monk chairs from the 1930s and woven Peanut chairs.

“Over many years, we have established a growing network of artists, makers, antique specialists, vintage traders and designers that spans the globe,” Haag said in a statement. “Drawing from this treasure trove, we can curate projects unlike anything seen before. . .At Capella Singapore, an evolving design and procurement methodology has shaped a meticulously layered manor where vintage pieces have been woven with custom contemporary rugs, furniture and commissioned artworks. This invaluable network brings agility, allowing for some beautiful outcomes that contribute to the manor’s ambience and memorability.”

As for the Colonial Manors, Matthew Shang Design Office has taken the lead. Upstairs, the Nest serves as a cozy living area, with a hand-knotted Persian rug, curated artworks, and tropical printed cushions. Downstairs, the cozy vibes continue in the Nook alcove, while an outdoor dining area includes a barbecue and a dining table for up to six.

In all three spaces, you have access to a personalized host who can help organize activities like poolside picnics, dim sum masterclasses, and spa services. Plus, the property offers bespoke turndown service, as well as in-manor breakfast and a fridge full of Champagne and premium wines.

Rates for Capella Manor start at $22,285 per night; rates for Colonial Manor start at $18,571.
