The Singapore Edition
One of the hotels that has become part of our local rotation. It feels like somewhere that fits naturally into life in the city rather than somewhere we need to make a special occasion of.
OUR SINGAPORE
A new lease on life.
Living in Singapore has given our family a new lease on life. After spending our lives living and working in the UK, the combination of an easier pace, great weather and an incredible sense of safety has made the move surprisingly effortless — and our kids are growing and thriving here.
Singapore has also reignited our love of travel. With Changi on our doorstep, weekends can mean a pool day or Sentosa, while longer breaks are just a flight away. We love the food, the bars, the city and condo life — but perhaps most of all, we love that friends and family now have a reason to come and see us.
FROM OUR CAMERA
Singapore, as we see it.
THE CITY
Singapore, as we see it.
A city of contrasts, where a glittering skyline, tropical greenery and neighbourhood life all sit remarkably close together. It is modern, but it rarely feels detached from the natural world.
GREEN SPACES
The city never feels far from nature.
Greenery is part of everyday life here. Parks, gardens and waterfront spaces give the city room to breathe — and make it surprisingly easy to slow down when you want to.
THE NEIGHBOURHOODS
Different sides of the city.
Heritage streets, shopping districts, waterfront towers and high-rise living all sit within a short journey of one another. Singapore constantly changes character depending on where you are.
AFTER DARK
When the city lights up.
The waterfront, restaurants and skyline all feel different once the sun goes down. Some evenings are about dinner and drinks; others are simply about being outside and watching the city change.
THE UNEXPECTED
There is always something else to notice.
Even after years here, Singapore still surprises us. Wildlife appears where you least expect it, tropical life continues around the edges of the city, and there always seems to be another detail worth stopping for.
BEST TIME
Year round
Singapore is warm and tropical throughout the year. We enjoy being here whenever we're not travelling.
WEATHER
Tropical
Expect heat, humidity and regular rain — usually followed by another beautiful stretch of weather.
GETTING AROUND
Effortless
A compact city, excellent transport and Changi Airport make Singapore an exceptionally easy base for exploring Asia.
OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
Places we love.
Grand Hyatt
Sometimes the best Singapore experience is doing very little at all. A poolside drink and a slow afternoon is one of our favourite ways to enjoy the city.
Raffles
A Singapore classic. We particularly enjoy the courtyard — a peaceful setting in the middle of the city and one of the places that captures something of Singapore's character.
Sentosa
When the weekend calls for something simple, Sentosa gives us an easy escape from the city without really leaving Singapore.
The food scene
From hawker centres to some of Asia's best restaurants, eating is one of the great pleasures of living here. It is one of the things we never tire of.
FROM THE JOURNAL
Living in Singapore.
The longer we live here, the more there is to notice. From family life and condo weekends to the food, bars, beaches and unexpected wildlife, Singapore has become much more than the place we moved to.
A deeper look at what it is actually like to build a family life here will become part of our Journal.
