Trip Overview

This 5-day Singapore vacation makes an ideal short stay for anyone interested in the influences that have made it one of the world’s most unique countries.

Staying in the heart of the city, you’re within easy reach of Singapore’s most interesting attractions, icons, and neighborhoods, including Little India, Kampong Glam, Raffles, Marina Bay, and the spectacular Gardens by the Bay. Your trip includes a night out in Chinatown, an area of Singapore that endlessly rewards exploration. You’ll learn about traditional Chinese medicine, enjoy dinner at a local restaurant, and explore the night markets, before hopping a trishaw to meet your boat for an evening river cruise.

The following day, discover the little understood history and culture of the Perenakan people, Chinese immigrants who were among Singapore’s earliest settlers. Visit a spice garden to learn about the flavours that go into Perenakan cooking. Explore the Katong and Joo Chiat districts to see the colourful architecture the Perenakans brought to Singapore, before sampling some of their delicacies.

The Scarlet Hotel

4 Night Stay

Meal Plan: Full Breakfast

Vivacious and uninhibited, The Scarlet Singapore made her debut in December 2004. Renowned for being Singapore's first luxury boutique hotel, the 80-room property pulsates with an eclectic tension. Historic Erskine Road leads you to a row of 1868 Early Shop Houses and an original 1924 Art Deco building, whose architectural detailing has been expertly retained and lovingly restored. The Scarlet Singapore is nestled amidst the vibrant Ann Siang Hill and Club Street nightlife community of trendy restaurants, cafes and wine bars, a charming place where the district's rich history meets the modern and hip lifestyle.

The Scarlet Hotel

An orientation tour that showcases the history, culture and lifestyle that is Singapore. Begin your journey at Kampong Glam, an area where modernity meets tradition. This district has a history that dates back to Singapore's colonial era as the allocated area to the Malay, Arab and Bugis communities.

Explore the city by driving round the Civic District, passing by the Padang, Singapore Cricket Club, historic Parliament House and the National Gallery Singapore. The Gallery consists of the former Supreme Court Building and the City Hall.

Next, stop at the Merlion Park and enjoy the impressive views of Marina Bay. This is a great place to take a photo with The Merlion, a mythological creature that is part lion and part fish.

Visit Thian Hock Keng Temple, one of Singapore's oldest Buddhist - Taoist temples, before driving past Chinatown.

Proceed to Singapore's first UNESCO World Heritage Site - the Singapore Botanic Gardens and walk through the National Orchid Garden which boasts a sprawling display of 60,000 orchid plants.

Kampong Glam, formerly the seat of Malay royalty, is best known for its two major landmarks: Sultan Mosque, Singapore's oldest and largest mosque and the Istana Kampung Gelam, the former Sultan's palace (today known as the Malay Heritage Centre). A mix of Malay and Muslim communities characterized by many traditional businesses including textile wholesalers, spice traders and perfumers, Muslim food caterers and retailers of gemstones and rattan handicrafts, yet today trades in the area has diversified and changed over the years, drawing an increasingly young and diverse group of visitors to this district, which has revived the connection between this district and the wider Singaporean and international environment.

Ride with us as we seek insta-worthy photo opportunities throughout the Royal Malay district of Kampong Glam. Along the way, uncovering the challenges of conservation while allowing for modernization; as both the old and the new co-exist together. For the 60 mins tour, stops include Bussorah Mall, Sultan Mosque, Malay Heritage Centre, street art and Haji Lane.

The world's first Night Safari set in 40 hectares of secondary jungle, will unfold the mystery and drama of the tropical jungle after dusk with stunning effects. See the myriad of nocturnal animals, from fierce predators to timid forest dwellers, in their natural habitat under subtle moonglow lighting. With priority boarding you won't have to wait in line to board the tram which takes you through the East and West Lop. Pass by a large reservoir and weave through selected habitats designed specifically to replicate the natural environment from the Himalayan Foothills to the Southeast Asian Rainforest and Indian Subcontinent.

Let the guide take you on a walking trail to view some animals at close quarters. You will get the opportunity to catch either the Thumbuakar performance of fire-eating skills OR a 20mins animal extravaganza at the Creatures of the Night Show.
