Holiday rentals and lettings in Singapore

A veritable melting pot of cultures, Singapore is a city with spark which has become one of Asia’s must-see destinations. One of the smallest countries in the world, you can find a holiday rental in any corner of it that you please. Stay in the downtown area right on the doorstep of the main attractions or find a letting that is only a short journey out of town in authentic neighbourhoods such as Jurung to the west and Golang to the east. Taxis are cheap and ubiquitous, so you can get around with great ease!

Singapore brings you high-quality lettings in a leading-edge urban environment. Luxury condos are widely available, with swimming pools, floor-to-ceiling windows, and immediate access to all the amenities you will need. Look out for the lettings that look out over the Botanic Gardens, and the luxury rentals on Sentosa island right next to the gorgeous tropical beach!

Singapore’s charm lies in that it is small enough to quickly become familiar, yet large enough to constantly surprise. Each neighbourhood has a distinct personality, culture, and heritage that provides a unique insight into the city. Whatever you are looking for, Singapore has got you covered. For beach-time bliss and leisure attractions, head for Sentosa, the island just off the south coast of the city. For urban slick, Marina Bay – the central business district – is replete with stylish rooftop bars and restaurants competing for the best view of the cityscape.

For authentic Singapore, Chinatown brings you atmospheric temples, heritage shophouses, and Michelin-starred hawker food. For the best shopping, Orchard Road is a two kilometre stretch of shopping heaven. Want to live like a local? Head to the neighbourhood of Katong, with its streets lined with brightly coloured heritage shophouses and authentic old-school kopitiams at every corner.

If you like your shopping then Singapore is your divine abode. The city is one of the most vibrant shopping hubs in Asia with hundreds of shopping centres. So where to shop? Bugis Street, with over 600 shops, is your fashionista budget destination for clothes and accessories. Still not satisfied oh fussy bargain hunter? Then IMM shopping mall is the country’s biggest and your ode to joy. It boasts leading fashion brands offering discounts of up to 80% all year round! Plenty of cash to splash? ION Orchard and Paragon are two malls infamous for their international luxury brands such as Gucci and Louis Vuitton. And then of course, you must head to the city's most iconic shopping street, Orchard Road. It is the epicentre of shopping in the city, flanked by local and international department stores, tiny boutiques, souvenir stalls, and eateries.

There are dozens of world-class attractions to visit with kids in this fine part of the world. Where even to start? The Mint Museum of Toys is a large, purpose-built museum showcasing over 50,000 toys from 40 countries, and is undoubtedly, one of the best things to do with kids in the city. Singapore Zoo is outlandish! Large, lush and home to a massive variety of animals – from the usual tigers, lions, giraffes to polar bears and African penguins and even the hugely rare Komodo dragons and orangutans! Your children will be in heaven. But best of all has to be Snow City, an indoor play park where your kids can frolic in the snow despite being just north of the equator!

Chinatown is a shoppers paradise, with the widest range and best value souvenirs you will find anywhere, and it is, of course, home to the city’s best authentic Chinese food. Don’t miss Chinatown’s Thian Hock Keng Temple, the oldest in Singapore!

Universal Studios Singapore features 24 cutting-edge rides and attractions in seven exotic themed zones including the Lost World, Ancient Egypt, New York, Hollywood, and Madagascar. The park is rated by many as even better than Disneyland!

Escape from the concrete jungle and reconnect with nature at the treetop walk at MacRitchie Reservoir. It takes at least 3 hours to enjoy the trail at a distance of around 7km. If you have never seen a rainforest canopy from above, this is your chance!

Sentosa is a purpose-built island just off the coast of Singapore which is home to a fine agglomeration of white, sandy beaches, exciting theme parks, great shopping and delicious dining opportunities on a strip of reclaimed land. Ramp up the fun factor by taking the cable car to the island!

Undoubtedly the most adrenaline-inducing activity in the city is the G-Max Reverse Bungy. You are catapulted skywards just like an astronaut in a rocket, accelerating to over 150 kilometres per hour and reaching a height of over 60 metres. Faint hearted?! This one’s not for you!
