Romantic things to do in Singapore
Singapore may not be known as the city of love but it sure does not lack romantic things to do with your loved ones. You and your partner can choose to indulge in fine cuisines, enjoy the breeze on a romantic evening cruise or ease the weeks tension away with a spa treatment.
Mount Faber
Dine at the second highest hill in Singapore with your loved one and enjoy the serenity of being amidst lush natural greeneries. Nestled on Mount Faber is the popular Jewel Box, which houses four restaurants – Black Opal, Moonstone, Sapphire and Faber Bistro. The restaurants, which are 106 meters above sea level, offer a variety of cuisines, from Japanese to European menus. Diners will also enjoy the spectacular panoramic view of Singapore’s central business district area, especially once the sun comes down and the lights come on. The twinkling lights from the cable cars traveling from Mount Faber to Sentosa Island exudes an enchanting atmosphere, transporting you and your loved one away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Be sure to place a reservation with the restaurants before heading up the hill.
Address: 109 Mount Faber Road, The Jewel Box, Singapore 099203
Singapore Flyer / Singapore Cable Car
Take dining with your loved one to a whole new level – literally. In Singapore, you can have the option of a romantic meal for two mid-air, either on the Singapore Flyer or the Singapore Cable Car. The Singapore Flyer, which is the world’s largest observation deck, offers the world’s first full butler sky dining experience. That means, you and your partner will be well taken care of by a butler as you sip on champagne and enjoy your meal with the magnificent Singapore skyline in full view. Dining on the Singapore Cable Car will offer you a romantic cabin for two, a menu of your choice and a 360-degree view of Singapore and Sentosa Island. You can also choose to reserve either a normal cabin or the floral cabin.

River Cruise
Spend some time together and discover Singapore on the river cruise. You can choose to hop onboard a traditional bumboat, which will take you around Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and Marina Bay. The river cruise will cost you $18 per person. If you are ready to splurge more and would like more privacy, then charter a private Duffy Boat or bumboat for you and your partner. Depending on the boat you charter, you can bring onboard food and beverages for the two of you to dine on as you take in the sights and sounds around you and discover Singapore’s present and learn of its past.

Spa Retreats
After stressful work weeks, there is no better way to spend some couple time then to ease body tensions by having skilled masseuses massage the knots away. In Singapore, there are many professional spas that offer couples packages for massage and skin treatments. Choose the kind of massages that you would like, from Swedish to Shiatsu, experience the calming aromatherapy oils and just relax with your partner.

East Coast Beach / Pasir Ris Beach / Changi Beach / West Coast Park
Stroll down the beaches of Singapore in the evening with your partner and enjoy the cooling sea breeze against your face and in your hair. A trip to the beach is generally inexpensive and definitely does not compromise on the romance. Various local food fares are available by the beaches, so you need not worry about food. However, to make the day even more romantic, you can prepare a picnic basket for two by the sea, spread a mat on the sand and dine at sunset (only on the West side beaches).
