Imbiah lookout is Singapore's biggest cluster of attraction located in Sentosa Island. The area contains 11 attractions.

Built in the 1980s, Imbiah lookout was unnamed until 2003. The area originally covered 30% of Sentosa's area. Later, much of Imbiah Lookout was demolished to make way for Resorts World Sentosa, so that it now only covers 20% of Sentosa, which is half the area of Mount Imbiah and down its slope facing Siloso Beach.

The Tiger Sky Tower (previously known as the Carlsberg Sky Tower) is free-standing observation tower on Sentosa. At a height of 110 metres above ground and 131 metres above sea level, it offers visitors a panoramic view of Sentosa, Singapore, and the Southern Islands. On a clear day, the view extends to parts of Malaysia and Indonesia. At ground level, visitors enter a large disc-shaped airconditioned cabin fitted with glass windows all round. The cabin then revolves slowly as it ascends the column of the tower. The cabin has a capacity of 72 visitors.

The Sky Tower used to sit at the very spot of what was formerly known as the Dragon Court. It has a dragon statue in the centerpiece with water spouting out from its mouth. In one of its claws, it holds a previous logo of Sentosa which was used in the 1980s. Its tail ends at the dragon trail at the northern part of Imbiah Lookout. It was demolished a few months before the groundbreaking ceremony of the sky tower. It was opened on 7 February 2004, is situated in the Imbiah Lookout zone in the centre of Sentosa and can be reached by Cable Car, Sentosa Luge Chair Lift, by Sentosa Express or by bus.
