Luxury Singapore Vacations & Tours

Singapore sits at the base of the Malay peninsula at the meeting of the Malacca Straits and the South China Sea. A little over two hundred years ago this tiny tropical island was not much more than fishing villages and dense jungle, but today stands proudly as one the world’s wealthiest, glitziest, and most dynamic cities.

The island state is a major hub for both regional and worldwide travel, with Singapore’s world-famous Changi Airport one of the busiest and best in the world.

Why we love private tours of Singapore

The arrival of the British in 1819 saw Singapore established as a major colonial trading post; following the island’s eventual independence in 1965, it continued its remarkable modernization into the thriving global financial hub one finds today. In the process, the island became a magnet for ambitious migrant workers: Singaporean nationals today are a melting pot of Malay, Indian, Chinese, Arab, and Western cultures, with large expatriate communities – drawn by high-paying jobs in finance, law, property, IT and education – filling out an eclectic international population.

Singapore’s diversity is manifested in a full calendar of colorful festivals, a mouth-watering gastronomic scene, and a friendly, open, highly welcoming attitude. The modern city boasts outstanding infrastructure, coupled with island-wide fluency in English, making it easy to enjoy the island’s many attractions in a clean, safe, green environment. Visitors are mesmerized by glittering skyscrapers, world-class shopping, and vibrant nightlife, while the numerous parks and green spaces have seen Singapore earn the nickname the ‘Garden City.’

Best places to go in Singapore

Best time to visit Singapore

Singapore sits right on the equator and has a hot, tropical climate all year round. There are no distinct seasons, and never really a bad time to travel. Also, given Singapore’s popularity as a stopover destination, you’re more likely to be led by good weather in your onward destination, whether it’s the summer months for Bali and Indonesia, or winter months for Thailand, Cambodia, and Indochina. Remember that Singapore’s indoor attractions (shopping malls, museums, restaurants, etc.) are open year-round, so there’s plenty to do even during the wetter months.
