Resort Living Above the City: Inside Arina East’s Lifestyle Amenities
Arina East Residences brings the idea of resort-style living into the heart of Tanjong Rhu, with facilities designed to support relaxation, wellness, family time, and entertaining. Across its ground-level leisure deck and elevated sky terraces, the development creates a calm, landscaped environment that feels removed from the city’s pace while keeping residents close to everything they need.
On the lower levels, residents are welcomed by a thoughtfully landscaped arrival experience, complete with a reflection pool and lush greenery that set a serene tone from the moment they come home. The main leisure deck features a swimming pool, aqua gym, jacuzzi, clubhouse, kids’ pool, and kids’ play area, making it well-suited for both quiet daily routines and active family living. Whether it is a morning swim, a relaxing soak, or an afternoon by the pool with children, the facilities are planned around everyday comfort.
Above, the lifestyle offering continues with sky facilities that make full use of the development’s twin-tower design. The 19th-floor sky terrace introduces a lounge and communal planter, creating a peaceful green pocket in the air. On the 20th floor, residents can enjoy a gym, sky pool, pool deck lounge, and a pavilion with a BBQ pit—ideal for wellness, sunset swims, and hosting family or friends with elevated views of Tanjong Rhu, the city skyline, and the coastline.
Together, these amenities reinforce Arina East’s appeal as a boutique freehold residence that offers more than a convenient address. It delivers a layered lifestyle experience: landscaped tranquillity at ground level, family-friendly leisure spaces within the development, and elevated sky facilities that bring a sense of exclusivity to everyday living.

primary school options, Arina East Residences is located near several established schools in the wider Tanjong Katong and Geylang area. Kong Hwa School, Geylang Methodist School (Primary), and Tanjong Katong Primary School fall within the 1–2km range of the development.
