BEST THINGS TO DO SINGAPORE
Some of the best things to do in Singapore involve cooling off in water be it relaxing poolside at your favourite luxury resort hotel in Singapore or the beach at Sentosa on the west side of Singapore Island or some sort of watersports in Singapore.

With a nice warm climate all year round there are plenty of things to do in Singapore.
You'll find everything you want in Singapore from the latest electronics to clothes in shopping areas centres such as Paragon and Takashimaya on Orchard Road, Little India or Vivo City which is the biggest shopping mall in the southern hemisphere.
Clarke Quay is a must-see on any trip to especially at night for its variety of Singaporean restaurants and bars overlooking the river. You'll walk through 21st-century water fountains children love to play in before being dazzled by the choice of quality restaurants.
The famous Raffles Hotel is also worth seeing and many people stop for High Tea at the Tiffin Room as a reminder of colonial days gone by. Our World's Best Holidays tip is to go to the nearby Goodwood Hotel instead for the freshest sandwiches and cakes we've tasted since the Hyde Park in London and The Oriental Hotel in Bangkok. The Goodwood colonial hotel is frequented by ex-pats and the racing fraternity.

Travel to Singapore would be incomplete without a trip by monorail or cable car to Sentosa Island near Singapore's CBD.
Sentosa Cable Car
Sentosa Island has resorts and restaurants and is undergoing rapid development including a huge children's amusement park.
Go to the top of Sentosa's Skytower for a bird's eye view over Singapore. Singapore's white sandy beaches on Sentosa are one of Singapore's secrets and clean for swimming, despite the huge shipping lane in nearby Singapore harbour.
The other holiday island near Singapore is white sand Nikoi Island via Batam Island. These holiday islands are popular with Singaporeans and tourists because of their natural environment beauty including the closest white coral sand beaches so near Singapore but actually in Indonesia.
For something different, head over to the Esplanade on the Bay. It's a strange-looking spiky building that's a performing arts centre with many surrounding restaurants. You have to see the quirky restaurant upstairs called My Humble House. It's like walking into a plush home like something out of the Addams Family with remarkably rich décor.
