The Lion City for Thrill-seekers

Adventurers seeking the perfect combination of thrills and luxury can embark on this five-day journey in Singapore for the best of both worlds. Each day, after an adrenaline-filled itinerary, guests will return to the comfort of their luxury accommodations at Fullerton Bay Hotel to relax and recuperate before their next day of adventure. In this itinerary, explorers will have the opportunity to visit state-of-the-art facilities for bungee jumping, freefalling, and ziplining; kayak with otters through mangrove forests; hike over six miles across the Southern Ridges; and mountain bike the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Rates start from $5,600 per person.

Spiritual Singapore: The Soul Under the City

In this three-day itinerary, travelers will visit some of the country’s most significant religious sites and admire the abiding culture of Singapore. The trip starts in Chinatown, taking participants to some of the most prominent Chinese temples including Buddha Tooth Relic Temple as well as Sir Mariamman Temple, the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore. Explorers will also have the opportunity to see the restored Chijmes Hall, a Gothic Revival designed chapel built in 1855; Masjid Sultan, an iconic mosque in Kampong Glam; and the Armenian Church, the oldest Christian church in Singapore. Rates start from $3,000 per person.

Five Decadent Days in Singapore

For those looking to relax and enjoy the luxe comforts of Singapore, Remote Lands offers this elite five-day itinerary to experience the exclusivity of the Lion City. Guests can dine at one of over thirty Michelin-starred restaurants, splurge on retail therapy at Orchard Road, and pamper themselves with caviar facial treatments. On the third day, guests will retreat to the Capella Hotel, a quiet oasis on Sentosa Island where they can relax on the white sand beach or visit the spa’s hot rainforest shower with floral scents and herbal steam room. Other luxury highlights in this itinerary include enjoying a gourmet three-course meal on the Singapore Flyer, a gigantic Ferris wheel nestled in the heart of the city, sipping cocktails at a premier VIP club with rooftop bar and 360-degree view of the city night lights, and taking a supercar – such as a Lamborghini, Ferrari, or Rolls Royce – for a spin around the official F1 circuit. Rates start from $5,000 per person.

An Artist’s Journey Through the Lion City

Art lovers can explore Singapore’s cultural scene in this four-day trip encompassing some of the city’s most diverse and innovative exhibitions. Singapore hosts some of the most popular international annual art fairs, including Singapore Art Week, Singapore Biennale, Singapore Night Festival, and Singapore International Festival of Arts. Travelers can visit the National Gallery Singapore to experience the world’s largest display of modern art in Southeast Asia, explore innovative galleries at the ArtScience Museum, and be inspired by the National Design Centre.
