While Singapore may not be top of most people's romantic
getaways, the lush garden city boasts a host of attractions
for couples looking for a new and exciting romantic
destination when the idea of a "budget airline"
assisted trip to Europe does not appeal.
Its unique blend of diverse cultures (Chinese, Indian,
Malay & Eurasian), rich history and natural scenery
makes Singapore THE place to discover, indulge and
experience something wonderful at any time of the
year.
Discover the following:
Cycle and explore Pulau Ubin
Take a romantic cycle ride round the island of Pulau
Ubin, off the north eastern coast of Singapore, where
you will experience the natural vegetation, rural
community as well as the laidback atmosphere before
heading to Mamam Beach for views of Malaysia.
Bukit Timah Nature Reserve
Explore the jungle and look out for Singapore's exotic
birds, butterflies, monkeys, squirrels and flying
lemurs, as well as the amazing plant life, or walk
up Bukit Timah Hill, Singapore's highest point at
164 metres above sea level for breathtaking views
of the region.
Colonial District
Go back in time and take a stroll through Singapore's
colonial district, where Raffles first landed. Here
you will find a cluster of architectural legacies
such as the Parliament House, Victoria Theatre, Singapore
Cricket Club, Supreme Court and City Hall surround
an open expanse of green, named the Padang ("playing
field" in Malay). Not too far away, The Fullerton
Hotel and the Raffles Hotel on Beach Road are landmark
hotels which epitomise this grand old era.
Why not prearrange to have champagne and strawberries
at Raffles Courtyard, a timeless structure within
the famous hotel with white arches flanked by tropical
palms and native plants?
Night Safari
At the Night Safari, watch giraffes glide serenely
across the plain in the still of the night. The night
zoo houses over 900 animals of 135 exotic species
in eight zones re-created to simulate geographic zones
like the Southeast Asian rainforest, African savanna,
Nepalese river valley, South American pampas and Burmese
jungle.
Beyond Singapore
For privacy and relaxation, charter your own bumboat
and head to Sisters' Island, which has much to offer
with sandy beaches and inviting waters - ideal for
a relaxing get-away.
Spa Botanica
Indulge in an intimate "Two Day Package"
at the Spa Botanica - Singapore's first tropical garden
destination spa, nestled in beautiful greenery on
Sentosa Island. The treatment includes a romantic
couple's body scrub and the couple's Vichy shower,
followed by a moor body wrap. You can also enjoy the
sheer indulgence of the exotic couples aroma massage
before relaxing in the couples' King's bath, complete
with a sprinkle of flower petals and a glass of champagne.
Romantic Dining
Enjoy an amazing dining experience 70 metres above
the sea in a cable car from the mainland to Sentosa
Island. Enjoy your first course against the backdrop
of the beautiful setting sun.
End your evening with cocktails at Singapore's
highest point - Equinox, at Raffles City Complex.
