Great Vacation Ideas in Singapore

Everyone loves a little something different about "vacation." If you're like me, you can't stop working regardless of where you are, and have to rely on Internet access to keep you attached to the rest of the world. For others, a computer or wireless communication device will only serve to be more junk in the luggage, and it simply has no place on a personal "holiday." Regardless of the category you fit into, and regardless of the fact that you may be traveling with someone in the opposite category, you can find the best of both worlds in the tropical island nation of Singapore.

Enjoying the Singapore Beaches

You're on a small, tropical island, so you're never far from the beach! There are many Singapore hotels and resorts located along the coasts that will place you within a stone's throw from the water's edge. If sunbathing, beach activities or lounging under a palm tree are some of your ideas for a day well spent on vacation, you'll have no problem making such activities part of your daily Singapore routine. For those that love the water and are interested in a little more physical activity, you'll have no issues finding an array of things to choose from like swimming, snorkeling, scuba, sea kayaking, canoeing, fishing or cruising at high speeds on a personal watercraft.

If you're interested in getting far away from the urban landscape or Singapore nightlife, you can head towards the even smaller islands south of Singapore located just off the coast of Indonesia. Bintan Island offers some of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the region, as well as man-made landscapes, better known as beautiful golf courses. There are multiple options to choose from in regards to lodging on Bitan, from moderate to high dollar.

Enjoying the Singapore Central Business District

The area of Singapore that houses the skyline is known as the Central Business District (CBD). Those traveling to Singapore for business will more than likely be doing their business in this very area, but for those that are interested in luxury hotels, fine dining and world-class shopping, there is a very fine line that separates the two. The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) can get you around the island safely and efficiently, and serves the popular shopping area on Orchard Road. You'll find a myriad of retailers in shopping centers and malls, as well as a wide selection of restaurants that will please any palate.

Singapore -- The Best of Both Worlds

The thing you must remember about traveling to Singapore is that you're never far away from any scene, whether you stay at one of the top five hotels in Singapore or not. Whether it's the fast-lane of world commerce, or the soft sands and slow pace of beach, Singapore has it all. Whatever category you fall into, you'll find that you'll easily "fit in" while visiting Singapore.
