In the middle of Singapore’s urban bustle and need some fresh air? You’re lucky! Surprisingly, this garden city has a wealth of tranquil natural retreats ideal for a restful vacation. These peaceful retreats allow you to rediscover your inner peace and escape the concrete jungle.
MacRitchie Reservoir Park
MacRitchie Reservoir Park, one of Singapore’s most cherished and historic natural areas, is a true treasure. Hike through lush secondary rainforest or take a stroll along the boardwalks that encircle the reservoir’s edge. The TreeTop Walk, a 250-metre suspension bridge, provides an amazing panoramic view of the forest canopy.
Gardens by the Bay
While a short taxi ride away from The Robertson House by The Crest Collection, Gardens by the Bay is a must-visit. Its iconic Supertrees and stunning conservatories (Flower Dome and Cloud Forest) offer a breathtaking experience. For those staying at a luxury hotel in Singapore, this grand spectacle is easily accessible for an unforgettable evening.
Singapore Botanic Gardens
The Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is home to a wide variety of plants. You can explore the National Orchid Garden, stroll through the old rainforest, or just locate a peaceful bench by a serene lake; it’s not just about pretty flowers. It’s easy to forget you’re in a busy city because of the abundance of beauty here.
Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve
Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is a must-see for serious wildlife and birdwatching enthusiasts. Both local wildlife and migratory birds find refuge in this unspoiled wetland. Through mangrove forests, boardwalks offer views of monitor lizards, mudskippers, and occasionally even crocodiles. A world away, it’s a genuine, unadulterated slice of nature.
