Things to do & Places to see in Singapore

Capella Singapore

Spacious and tranquil, this beautifully landscaped resort blends together the best of old-world architecture since the 1880’s with modern design and nature, and is the perfect escape destination from the city with over 30 acres of lush greenery.

Designed by renowned British architect Norman Foster of Foster + Partners, together with a+i Asia, the Capella Singapore is in the shape of a figure eight, an auspicious number in Chinese culture.

The luxurious sanctuary boasts 112 rooms, of which 38 are private villas with their own private pools and outdoor showers. This includes 72 sea-facing suites and duplexes and nine manors. Guest rooms feature warm and inviting palettes, with the use of rattan and wood for the interiors to reflect the underlying influence of the tropical setting.

For the ultimate indulgence, head to Capella Singapore’s award-winning spa—the Auriga Spa. Using 100% natural and organic products from The Organic Pharmacy, the highly-recommended spa by Spa Luxe (Our Quide to Singapore’s Best Spas by Honeycombers 2011) offers treatments developed by A.W Lake that are exclusive to the establishment.

Perfect for honeymooners, their full-day packages include the usage of the spa amenities, invigorating body, hair and scalp treatments, facials and scented baths, complete with intimate tea sessions.

After a relaxing hour or two of pampering, end the day with delicious mocktails and a wide selection of tapas at Bob’s Bar overlooking the regal South China Sea.
