Subsidiaries
SDC is in charge of the following four subsidiaries:

- Sentosa Cove Resort Management (SCRM) is the place manager for Sentosa Cove, a residential and commercial district on the island’s waterfront.
- Sentosa Golf Club (SGC) manages two award-winning 18-hole championship golf courses on the island, The Serapong and The Tanjong.
- Mount Faber Leisure Group (MFLG) operates Singapore’s sole cableway system and offers lifestyle merchandise as well as F&B dining on the hill at Faber Peak (formally the Jewel Box).
Monorail
SDC owns the Sentosa Express, a S$140 million light rail system that provides easy access into Sentosa from VivoCity.
