SINGAPORE
Top Highlights, Tours, Hotels, and Experiences
Singapore, a vibrant city-state in Southeast Asia, offers a perfect blend of modernity and rich heritage, making it an ideal destination for your luxurious Singapore holiday. Explore this global metropolis with our Singapore private tours, designed to immerse you in the city's stunning skyscrapers, iconic landmarks like Marina Bay Sands, and lush green spaces such as Gardens by the Bay. Dive into a culinary adventure at local hawker centers, where diverse flavors reflect Singapore's multicultural heritage. As one of the most expensive cities in the world, Singapore offers world-class services that come at a premium—expect US-level prices for dining, private tour services, upscale hotels, and professional guides. However, life in general, including street food, public transport, and taxis, remains surprisingly affordable, allowing for a well-balanced travel experience.
With Malaya Travel’s tailored Singapore tours, you'll experience the city's seamless mix of urban sophistication and natural beauty. Discover world-class shopping on Orchard Road, and visit cultural gems like Chinatown and Little India. Our private Singapore tours provide the perfect way to explore in style, combining the city's cutting-edge architecture and rich history with personalized service and expert local guidance. Whether you're planning a luxurious Singapore holiday or a family-friendly getaway, Malaya Travel recommends spending 2-4 nights in Singapore. Easily combine your stay with a beach retreat to nearby islands like Langkawi or Bali, or embark on a multi-country journey through Southeast Asia for the ultimate travel experience.
Best Time To Visit
Singapore is a year-round destination with something to offer every season. The best time to visit depends on your preferences. From February to April, enjoy the driest weather, ideal for exploring outdoor attractions like Sentosa Island and the Singapore Zoo. May to July brings the Great Singapore Sale and the Singapore Food Festival, perfect for foodies and shoppers. September to October offers pleasant temperatures and less rain, along with the vibrant Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival. In December and January, the city dazzles with festive events like Christmas Wonderland at Gardens by the Bay and Light to Night.
Who This Destination Is For
Singapore is perfect for anyone looking to explore one of the most exciting cities in the world. With something for everyone, it's a haven for solo backpackers seeking vibrant street life, retired couples indulging in luxury and world-class museums, and families eager to keep kids entertained with theme parks and unique wildlife experiences. Although modern attractions like Gardens by the Bay dominate today's social media and news outlets, don't forget Singapore's fascinating history—a visit to the Civic District is a must for anyone interested in uncovering the city’s rich past. Whether you're after high-end comfort or urban adventure, Singapore offers an unforgettable mix of culture, history, and modern allure.
Duration of Stay
For a stay in Singapore, we recommend a minimum of 2–3 full days to truly experience the city’s highlights. A guided tour of its diverse neighborhoods can easily fill your time, while visits to top attractions like Gardens by the Bay and the Botanical Gardens may call for an extra day, especially if you prefer a slower pace. If you're on a pre or post-cruise trip, a 2-day stay is ideal. Families can easily extend their visit with activities like Sentosa Island’s theme parks, the Night Safari, and more. Keep in mind that jetlag from overseas travel might affect your first day or two, just as all/year/around humidity.
How to Get There
Getting to Singapore is a breeze, with Changi Airport consistently ranked as one of the world's best—it's a destination in itself with its gardens, shopping, and entertainment. Singapore Airlines offers direct flights from major US cities like Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, and New York, while carriers like United also serve these routes. Travelers from the East Coast can enjoy luxurious transits via Emirates and Qatar Airways through Doha or Dubai. Just a short drive from the city center, Singapore is the perfect starting or ending point for a longer private tour across Singapore, Malaysia, and even Thailand.
