In a city known for its dazzling architecture and lush greenery, these elevated escapes offer more than just a place to cool off — they deliver breathtaking views, sleek design, and a moment of calm above the bustling streets below.

By day, the equatorial light dances on the surface; by night, the pool reflects a tapestry of city lights and stars.

Guests can float along the edge of the sky, linger over breakfast or all-day poolside dining, and sip cocktails until late, all with the soft hush of water and clouds drifting by. Open daily from early morning to midnight for in-house guests only, it’s an unforgettable spot for sunrise swims or moonlit dips. Book a stay directly via the Marina Bay Sands website or trusted platforms like Klook and Trip.com.

Traveloka and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) have launched a new regional campaign titled “A World of Experiences Await,” aimed at young Southeast Asian travelers who like spontaneous, close-to-home getaways. The initiative strengthens the partnership between the two organizations, and positions Singapore as an easy, compact, and adventure-filled destination for short trips and repeat visits.

The campaign highlights how visitors can enjoy a wide variety of activities in just a single day. From cultural landmarks and world-class attractions to local neighborhoods, everything is conveniently located and easily accessible thanks to Singapore’s seamless transport system and walkable layout.

Running from November 2025 to March 2026, travelers from Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand can get the best travel deals to explore and rediscover Singapore through lesser-known attractions and reimagined experiences.

During the campaign period, travelers can log onto the Traveloka app to collect stackable discount coupons for flights, hotels, and activities in Singapore.

Traveloka noted that the partnership is built on a long-term commitment. “Singapore remains one of the most popular destinations for our travelers, and together, we will continue co-creating initiatives that celebrate local culture and strengthen the communities that make travel meaningful.”

The campaign introduced a number of new activities and hidden gems for travelers to discover — from independent bookstores and vintage luxury shops to revamped attractions like the Singapore Oceanarium and Rainforest Wild ASIA, and hands-on workshops like pleat-making at Ginlee and chocolate crafting at Mr. Bucket Chocolaterie.

November 05, 2025

In a city that’s constantly reinventing itself, it’s rare to find a place that honors its past while embracing the future. But tucked between the gleaming towers of Dhoby Ghaut, one such treasure has quietly reopened its doors. The House of Tan Yeok Nee, Singapore’s last standing traditional Teochew mansion, has been reborn as a heritagelifestyle hub, and it’s nothing short of spectacular.

Originally built in 1885 by Teochew merchant Tan Yeok Nee, the mansion is a gazetted national monument and one of the few surviving examples of Southern Chinese architecture in Singapore. After years of limited public access, the house has undergone a sensitive restoration and now welcomes visitors into a space that blends cultural reverence with contemporary elegance.

The reopening marks a new chapter for the mansion, which now houses curated lifestyle experiences, wellness programs, and fine dining. At the heart of this transformation is Loca Niru, a modern Japanese-French restaurant helmed by Chef Shusuke Kubota that’s opening its doors this November 2025.

The restaurant’s philosophy, rooted in Zen idioms and the Japanese concept of kotan (quiet simplicity), echoes the mansion’s own spirit of harmony and restraint. Guests dine beneath preserved wooden trusses, surrounded by Teochew carvings and Japanese craftsmanship, in a space that feels both timeless and transcendent.

Beyond gastronomy, the House of Tan Yeok Nee is positioning itself as a cultural anchor. Its Instagram presence hints at upcoming art exhibitions, wellness events, and private gatherings designed to celebrate heritage and holistic living. The mansion’s architecture, marked by sweeping rooflines, intricate woodwork, and a central courtyard, serves as both backdrop and inspiration for these experiences.

This revival is about preservation and participation. By opening its doors to the public, the House of Tan Yeok Nee invites Singaporeans and global visitors alike to engage with history in a living, breathing way. It’s a rare opportunity to walk through a space where every beam and brick tells a story, and where the future is being written with reverence.

For more information, follow the House of Tan Yeok Nee on Instagram and Facebook. Meanwhile, booking for Loca Niru is now open via Tablecheck, and you may follow them on Instagram and Facebook for updates.
