Stay
In the city’s largest guest rooms, at the Ritz Carlton Millenia. Award-winning dining, skyline or bay views, a tropical garden with waterfalls and a pool, and a 4,200 piece contemporary art collection – all a short walk from the city’s Marina shopping centre.
Eat
At Les Amis, for famous fare. Savour their signature Gillardeu oysters or Wagyu rib eye cooked in hay, washed down with wine from their 2,000-strong list. Feeling adventurous? Singaporean street food is renowned; try local favourite Bak Chor Mee.
Drink
Chin chow for unique local flavours; a sweet and refreshing drink comprised of grass jelly and cold soymilk. In the evening, try the famous Singapore Sling − a fruity, gin-infused cocktail, available from its birthplace, at the Raffles Hotel bar.
See
The Singapore Botanic Gardens in the cool early morning. Open 5am to midnight, they’re perfect for gentle strolls through swaths of untouched rainforest and admission is free. Take time to chill out among the verdant lawns, waterfalls, and gentle streams.
