Your Singapore. Your Way.
Where tradition and innovation meet beneath tropical skies
Singapore:
Where Cultures Converge
Singapore is a city where the future rises next to the past — where glittering skyscrapers share streets with temples, gardens, and timeless hawker stalls. This island nation is a crossroads of cultures, cuisines, and ideas. It’s where Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Peranakan heritage blend seamlessly, creating a vibrant rhythm all its own.
Days here are layered with sensory discoveries: the scent of satay grilling in a night market, the quiet beauty of a temple courtyard, the mirrored skyline reflecting off the bay. Whether savoring Michelin-starred street food, stepping into a futuristic garden, or exploring neighborhoods steeped in history, Singapore rewards curiosity with ease.
At Latitude & Leisure, we craft journeys that reveal the city beyond its skyline — tailored experiences that bring its character, culture, and charm to life.

Regions That Shape the Journey
Every corner of Singapore holds its own story — from glittering skylines and cultural neighborhoods to lush gardens and coastal escapes.
Skyline & Spirit
Marina Bay is the glittering heart of modern Singapore — where glass towers reflect the sky and the bay shimmers with light at night. Here, innovation takes center stage: rooftop infinity pools, world-class dining, and iconic landmarks like the Marina Bay Sands and the ArtScience Museum.
This is Singapore at its most cinematic — best experienced on a sunset walk along the waterfront or from a rooftop terrace with the city glowing below.

Heritage & Flavor
Step into Singapore’s Chinatown and you step into a story that began centuries ago. Lanterns line narrow streets, temples glow softly at dusk, and the aroma of sizzling street food fills the air. This is a neighborhood layered with history and living culture — bustling hawker centers sit beside heritage shophouses and sacred temples.
Private food tastings, guided cultural walks, and hidden cafés reveal Chinatown’s depth beyond the surface.

Color & Culture
Vibrant, bold, and joyfully chaotic, Little India immerses travelers in a tapestry of sights, sounds, and flavors. Markets overflow with fresh flowers, spices fill the air, and Hindu temples glow with intricate carvings.
This is a neighborhood to wander slowly — to savor masala tea, watch saris ripple in the breeze, and witness daily rituals that have been part of Singapore’s heartbeat for generations.

Old Soul, New Style
Once the historic seat of Malay royalty, Kampong Glam is now a vibrant district where tradition and trend intertwine. The golden dome of Sultan Mosque rises above streets lined with textile shops, cafés, and street art.
This is where old soul meets modern cool — perfect for travelers who love a cultural stroll paired with design-forward experiences.

Coastal Playground
Sentosa is Singapore’s sunny escape — a resort island with palm-fringed beaches, luxury hotels, and soft adventure woven throughout. Here, mornings start with your toes in the sand and afternoons can be spent ziplining, snorkeling, or floating above the canopy on a cable car.
Whether you crave relaxed coastal living or family fun, Sentosa adds a gentle, breezy chapter to the Singapore story.

Green Heart of the City
Singapore isn’t just a city — it’s a garden. From the futuristic Supertrees of Gardens by the Bay to the peaceful Singapore Botanic Gardens (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the city pulses with greenery.
Morning walks beneath orchids, evening light shows among Supertrees, and quiet trails through urban parks offer a softer side to the skyline.

Insider Planning Tips
Thoughtful touches to make your Singapore journey seamless and unforgettable.
- Pack light, breathable layers — Singapore’s humidity is constant year-round. Lightweight clothing, a compact umbrella, and a wrap or light jacket for chilly indoor air-conditioning go a long way.
- Book marquee experiences early — rooftop dining, private garden tours, and wildlife night safaris often sell out. Advance reservations secure the best times and views.
- Travel smart — Singapore’s MRT is clean, safe, and efficient. Pair public transit with private transfers for a smooth, stress-free journey between neighborhoods.
- Savor the flavors — street food isn’t just a snack here; it’s a cultural experience. Follow your nose through hawker centers, and don’t skip local favorites like satay, laksa, and chicken rice.
- Plan for golden hours — early mornings and evenings offer cooler temps, softer light, and fewer crowds—ideal for gardens, rooftop bars, and waterfront strolls.
- Stay connected — public Wi-Fi is widely available, and eSIMs or portable hotspots make navigating and booking last-minute experiences effortless.
- Mind the weather — brief showers are common. Carrying a light rain layer or umbrella means you can keep exploring instead of ducking indoors.
Your Singapore Journey, Answered
Your questions are where the journey begins. Here’s what travelers ask most — and how Latitude & Leisure turns answers into effortless escapes.
Do I need to rent a car in Singapore?
No — Singapore’s public transportation is world-class. Between the MRT, taxis, and private transfers, getting around is easy and efficient. A car isn’t necessary for most travelers.
What’s the best time to visit Singapore?
Singapore is great year-round. For the best weather, visit during the drier months of February–April or July–September. Even during rainy season, showers are brief and usually in the afternoon.
How many days should I spend in Singapore?
Three to five days offers the perfect balance of culture, skyline icons, gardens, and coastal downtime. For a more leisurely pace, extending to a week allows deeper neighborhood exploration and day trips.
Are cultural experiences private or group-based?
Most of our experiences are private or small-group to allow for meaningful connection. This includes food tours, heritage walks, and behind-the-scenes garden experiences.
What are the best luxury stays?
Marina Bay Sands is iconic, but Singapore’s boutique hotels in Chinatown and Kampong Glam offer stunning, character-filled alternatives. Sentosa’s resorts add a resort-style escape within the city.
Do I need to speak the local language?
No. English is one of Singapore’s official languages, and communication is seamless for travelers.
Can I combine Singapore with another destination?
Yes — Singapore pairs beautifully with Bali, Thailand, Vietnam, and other Southeast Asian destinations. It’s also a popular stopover for travelers heading to or from Europe and Australia.
What should I pack for Singapore?
Light, breathable clothing, a sun hat, comfortable shoes for walking, and a compact umbrella. Dress codes are relaxed, but many rooftop bars and fine dining restaurants prefer smart casual in the evenings.
Is Singapore good for families or couples?
Both. Families love Sentosa and the Night Safari, while couples enjoy skyline views, garden strolls, and world-class dining.
