Life in Singapore is vivid and buoyant, but there’s always room for seclusion and privacy. For couples, there are a lot of options depending on their tastes and budget. Each couple can find their own unique experience, from the dinner in the sumptuous hotel on antique-style furniture to the boat sailing along the street lit with lanterns.
Bukit Batok Town Park
This Singapore getaway is often called Xiao (“small”) Guilin, which refers to the rock that rises up the lake and is a replica of the Chinese park. It’s a place where high and small peaks surround the lake, with multiple viewing points. The park has a lot of greenery, and it’s easy to find a place where you can enjoy the tranquility of nature on your own. The lake is always still, and the transparent water reflects the mountains above. You can choose one of the clearings or get to the top of the mountain. There’s also a dome-shaped rock letting you feel complete privacy when sitting together in the arc.
Dinner in a Cable Car
Dining at 328 feet above Earth and taking in the view of night Singapore with the myriad of lights beneath will be an unforgettable moment in your trip. A private cabin and a variety of courses are available. The trip is quite long, letting you enjoy four courses along the way. The meals are of high quality, and they frequently include the champagne “Moët & Chandon.” And you’ll also have time to admire the views on your way, as well as take photos if you want.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Millenia
If you want to spend your honeymoon in style, The Ritz-Carlton is probably the best place to do so. The hotel is elegant and luxurious, with real wooden musical instruments standing here and there. It also boasts its own collection of over 4,000 pieces of art. As the hotel’s location is Marina Bay, you can explore many other Singapore attractions or take part in the colorful local festivals that are always held on this street.
You will have privacy in your antique-style suite at the hotel, as well as a variety of entertainment options. There’s a spa that offers various relaxation techniques and ensures tranquility during procedures. You can dine in different places depending on your taste, including Summer Pavilion, which earned a Michelin star. Every day, a traditional Afternoon Tea is a full-fledged ceremony here. You’ll be served a variety of teas, and every aspect of Chinese tradition will be followed.
Singapore River
Night sailing in a boat gliding down the tranquil river is an ideal match for the romantic mood. Book a bumboat, and take a nighttime cruise. The view of Singapore’s streets with lit arcs and multiple lights, the quiet motion of the boat, and the night breeze will leave an indelible impression. If you plan to combine your getaway trip with some exploration, it’s better to book daytime sailing. The boat will pass by multiple popular tourist destinations, including the Chinatown district.
Sentosa Island
Sentosa, one of Singapore’s most vibrant areas, also has a plethora of activities for couples. You can take a walk around the island, enjoying the greenery and local sculptures. If both you and your loved one enjoy dynamic activities, take a luge ride. The ride starts uphill, where you can choose among four different tracks, each having its own turns, tunnels, and hairpin corners. Visit the Universal Studios’ 20-hectare territory, where you can see displays of the filming process of several iconic movies, such as Jurassic Park, Transformers, and others. You can take part in the meet and greet with fully dressed characters of the movie and dine in the set of local restaurants. After an active day, you can proceed to the Tiger Sky Tower. The tower is the highest observation deck in the country that lets you see most of the city and, moreover, a part of the territory of adjoining countries—Malaysia and Indonesia.
Gardens by the Bay
This masterful combination of tropical greenery and the architect’s idea will become a perfect place for your getaway. The site has nine thematic zones, including the romantic Flower Zone and the mysterious Cloud Forest. Due to the demands of the plants, in some zones, the climate differs from the tropical one prevalent in Singapore. You can complete your romantic stride by yet more sentimental dinner at the highest point of the Gardens—on top of its largest tree construction. In order to get there, use a buggy that will deliver you right to the place.
