Why Singapore is the top luxury destination
The city-state in Southeast Asia may be small, but it can offer a lot to tourists from all over the world. From its shopping districts to beautiful gardens.
With the ever-changing nature of the pandemic affecting countries around the world in different ways, it was hard to allow ourselves to be excited about traveling to exotic and distant destinations... But as restrictions ease and travel opportunities become more realistic with mass vaccinations, testing, and immunity in the local population, we can allow ourselves to start planning trips again and travel the world.
One such place that promises plenty of entertainment, mega shopping malls, immaculate public spaces, and lush green landscapes amidst a bustling futuristic cityscape is Singapore - a destination that can't be compared to any other.
The island city-state in Southeast Asia may be small in size, but it can offer a lot to tourists from all over the world. From its shopping districts to beautiful gardens and skyscrapers, you can truly enjoy a luxurious holiday in Singapore. Orchard Road in Singapore is the center of luxury fashion brands, including Armani, Gucci, Cartier, Victoria's Secret, Michael Kors, and others.
As you probably know, a very important part of any luxury vacation is the hotel where you will spend your nights and days. Singapore can offer you some of the most luxurious hotels in the world, such as Marina Bay Sands which is the true embodiment of extravagance, or Villa Samadhi, characterized by antique luxury.
With two elegant casinos, Singapore continues to rank as one of the best casino havens in the world. Marina Bay Sands has 500 game tables, 1,600 slot machines, and 30 private playrooms. Meanwhile, Resorts World Sentosa, one of the most luxurious casino resorts in the world, offers free admission to foreign tourists and free drinks to all visitors.
For travelers interested in immersing themselves in culture, Singapore offers an exciting selection of museums and workshops. Numerous institutions are available to art and culture lovers, including the Singapore Art Gallery and the Museum of Art Science. Travelers are also invited to immerse themselves in interactive activities, which include workshops on jewelry making, painting, calligraphy, and leather processing.
Singapore is also proud of what it has to offer to all nature lovers. Tourists are invited to explore MacRitchie Reservoir Park and visit its owls, flying lemurs, and flower dome during their stay. Meanwhile, Pulau Ubin is a one-hour journey from Singapore and offers kayaking, hiking, and cycling, while the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Singapore Botanical Garden, is something not to be missed.
Traveling to Singapore would not be complete without enjoying some extravagant meals, and there are many places you can visit. Start with The Halia, located in a UNESCO-protected park serving local cuisine in an outdoor dining setting. Another choice is The Black Swan, a renowned restaurant in the central business district, while those looking for Cantonese cuisine will want to head to Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant.
