It's always a luxury waking up to the sight of the sea – blue skies and clear water stretching ahead endlessly. Imagine going for a five-minute stroll down the beach to rejuvenate yourself after a long day – it sounds like a dream!
But you don't have to wait for your next vacation to experience this. Seafront living is quite limited in Singapore, with most in the East, but there are still some condos in Singapore with absolutely stunning sea views you shouldn't miss.
We picked seven condos with gorgeous sea views that we think you would enjoy. Note that prices may be estimates at the time of writing and subjected to change.
#1: Seaside Residences
District: D15
Nearest MRT: Kembangan, Siglap (upcoming)
Price: $690,000-$18 million
PSF: $1,352-$5,464
Siglap's Seaside Residences is a new 99-year leasehold condo built in 2021. With 843 units, the condo offers views facing East Coast Park.
It's also only a 10 minutes walk away from the upcoming Siglap MRT (expected to open in 2024) on the Thomson-East Coast line!
The condo is built in the north-south direction, so the units are likely to be facing the north-south direction. That's the best position for avoiding the sun while having ample ventilation.
Units above the sixth floor are also likely to get a clear sea view.
#2: Coastal View Residences
District: D17
Nearest MRT: Pasir Ris
Price: $1.1 million-$2.29 million
PSF: $1,005-$1,315
Located at Pasir Ris, Coastal View Residences is a small condo with 40 units and 20 storeys. With the completion in 2009, it has a 999-year lease and is situated near Downtown East.
While it is a relatively small condo, it provides ample amenities that are well-maintained, including a pool deck, fitness corner, swimming pool, BBQ pits, parking, and security.
However, the direction of the units might not be the best. You might get a unit facing south-east, which is ideal since your house will get some lovely morning sun from September to March. But you might also get a northwest unit, which is not the best as you will get partial afternoon sun from March to September.
#3: The Meyerise
District: D15
Nearest MRT: Dakota, Tanjong Katong (upcoming), Katong Park (upcoming)
Price: $1.65 million-$3.45 million
PSF: $1,862-$2,627
The Meyerise is a freehold condo on Meyer Road. It was completed in 2016, with 31 storeys and 239 units.
When the new Tanjong Katong MRT and Katong Park MRT along the Thomson-East Coast line open in 2024, the condo will just be a 10 minutes walk away!
With no buildings standing between itself and East Coast Park, The Meyerise has units with an unobstructed sea view.
Its units are also likely to be facing the north-south direction, which is excellent for ventilation and avoiding the direct sun.
This three-bedroom unit (1,313 sq ft) is relatively on the higher side at $3.45 million, but offers a breathtaking sea view that's worth the price.

This three-bedroom unit (1,604 sq ft) is spacious, with stunning and clear views of the sea. The apartment is also facing south, so you won't have to worry about the direct sun heating your home.

Nearest MRT: Katong Park (upcoming), Tanjong Katong (upcoming)

It'll be a five minutes walk from the upcoming Katong Park MRT on the Thomson-East Coast line. The opening of these upcoming MRTs coincides with the completion of Meyer Mansion!
The condo is also just a walk away from East Coast Park and Singapore Sports Hub. And since it's right next to the beach, you can expect an unobstructed sea view.
#6: Costa Del Sol
