The Gardens by the Bay is probably Singapore’s most well-known attraction and for good reason - it’s simply breathtaking. These glorious award-winning gardens contain over 1 million plants and act as a shining example of Singapore’s commitment to sustaining and championing its biodiversity. Its main attraction is the Supertree Grove, which features three super tree structures of up to 50 metres tall and covered with over 200 species of flora and fauna. Not impressed yet? You will be as you wander over the skywalk, getting a closer view of the stunning Supertrees and an overview of the vast site. If this place doesn't have you head over heels for nature, nowhere will.

The intricate white exterior of the Raffles Hotel is as decadent as it is stunning, but the hotel isn’t just renowned for being beautiful. The hotel bar is home to the original Singapore Sling cocktail, the city’s signature alcoholic drink. Created in the early 20th century, the drink became so popular that it’s now synonymous with the hotel itself - although interpretations of the drink can be found on the menus all over town, you’ll wanna head to Raffles for the real deal. Made up of gin, cherry heering liqueur, benedictine, cointreau, grenadine syrup and pineapple and lime juice, the Singapore Sling is sweet and fruity but packs a punch.

An enclave of vibrant life and tradition, you’ll be overwhelmed by bright colours, sights, sounds and smells as you wander under Chinatown’s red lanterns. You’ll uncover Chinatown’s impressive collection of temples, including the oldest temple in the country, Thian Hock Keng. After being blown away by its intricate exterior, you’ll discover the secrets of this rare gem and its spiritual significance as a monumental place of worship for the Hokkiens. Encompassing Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Ancestral worship, Thian Hock Keng, alongside Chinatowns other atmospheric temples, will provide a welcome break from the screaming modernism of the surrounding skyscrapers. This is an experience that will stick in your mind long after you return home.

Step aside, London eye: The Singapore Flyer is the world’s largest observation wheel and the best way of ensuring you see everything there is to see of Singapore (quite literally.)

The wheels accompanying museum will provide an exciting multimedia experience as you gain a deeper understanding of Singapore’s unique story, and how it became the exciting multicultural melting pot that it is today. This is an experience that will make you feel like you’re on top of the world.

When you think of Singapore, you probably don’t think ‘island getaway’. Oh, how wrong you are. Sentosa Island is a man-made island resort sitting off Singapore’s southern coast. Dubbed ‘the state of fun’, this tropical island is also home to the Tiger Sky Tower, which will give you panoramic views that stretch as far as Indonesia (nope, we’re not kidding.) If you fancy a little beach action, Palawan Beach is inundated with street food stalls, colourful shacks, restaurants and bars. If you’re after a little more serenity, head to Tanjong beach for palm trees and chill vibes that will make you forget you’re not in the Caribbean…
