This bustling urban wellness centre boasts abundant green spaces, various festivals, and vibrant nightlife, making it a must-visit destination.

There has never been a better time to visit Singapore. Singapore is the perfect destination whether you are seeking a bustling urban getaway with trendy bars and fantastic food or a peaceful retreat in one of the world's most environmentally friendly cities. 

With an abundance of parks and nature reserves, green spaces are always close by in this vibrant city. Besides parks and nature reserves, flora and fauna thrive in places like the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore's first ASEAN Heritage Park worth visiting. Even Terminal 2 of Changi Airport, which completed a major renovation in late 2023, offers a surprisingly green retreat.

In the departure hall, towering columns adorned with lush plant life, including many species found in Singapore's primary rainforests, create a stunning atmosphere. The Enchanted Garden, with its orchid archway perfect for selfies, and the Gourmet Garden, with its towering wall of climbing plants, add to the charm of the terminal. The futuristic structures of Gardens by the Bay bring nature and art together in spectacular and thought-provoking ways.

And Relax…

For those who prefer experiencing nature in ultimate comfort, Singapore's top-notch spas are attracting wellness seekers in search of rejuvenating getaways. Aramsa – The Garden Spa is located within the lush surroundings of Bishan-AMK Park, featuring 13 treatment rooms surrounded by gardens designed to bring the outdoors inside. Marina Bay Sands' Banyan Tree Spa offers a sanctuary of well-being on the 55th floor, with a wide range of treatments and stunning views. At Auriga, the tranquil spa at Capella Singapore, treatments are aligned with the moon's phases. In contrast, the Singapore Edition hotel's spa, which opened last year, offers Ayurvedic massages and high-tech facials guaranteed to eliminate any signs of jet lag.

If you visit in June, you can participate in the three-week Wellness Festival, which offers various activities for every type of wellness enthusiast, from "serenity seekers" to "active adventurers." Enjoy guided walks, pop-up spas, and wellness sessions at various landmarks, including forest bathing sessions at Changi Airport.

Another festival to mark on your calendar is July's Singapore Food Festival. Sample some of the country's most delicious dishes, including the famous chilli crab, and join the Food Walk to try creations from top restaurants and street-food stalls.

Savour the City's Flavours

Singapore boasts a diverse dining scene that is lively all year round. Its UNESCO-listed food culture is showcased in the city's hawker centres, where you can enjoy affordable dishes such as satay and rendang. The dining options range from fine-dining restaurants like Odette (featured in the World's Best Restaurants awards) to hawker-centre stalls like those at Newton Food Centre, made famous by the film "Crazy Rich Asians."

Singapore's nightlife is just as vibrant, offering a variety of trendy cocktail bars and intimate venues that reflect the city's passion for innovation and sustainability. For example, Analogue in CHIJMES features a 3D-printed bar made from recycled plastic and a plant-based menu that celebrates local ingredients. Meanwhile, Mama Diam in Bencoolen offers modern twists on regional favourites and unique drinks like the Peranakan Negroni, infused with pandan, coconut, and pineapple.

 Described as sustainable, multicultural, and cosmopolitan, Singapore impresses with its diversity and creativity. From its green spaces, architecture, and wellness offerings to its varied neighbourhoods and vibrant dining, nightlife, and arts scenes, a city is a place where cultures and passions intersect.
