Indulgent Spa Experience

Indulge your better half with a two-hour session that includes an aromatherapy experience, combining eastern and western massage techniques. Top-grade essential oils are worked into your skin, relieving tension and stress and encouraging relaxation with their lovely scents. Afterwards, you’ll get to enjoy a relaxing Onsen hot spring bath.

Read moreThis is a popular spot for loving couples to stroll arm in arm while immersing themselves in breathtaking architecture and serene natural surroundings, right in the urban heart of Singapore. After you're shuttled from your hotel to the entrance of the Gardens by the Bay's 249-acre (101 ha) grounds, enter the Flower Dome. This building's Mediterranean climate—cool and dry in contrast to Singapore's tropical temperatures—houses baobabs, succulents and desert plants from arid environments from all corners of the globe. Admire the innovative design of the Flower Dome, the Cloud Mountain and the Supertree Grove as you explore the nine zones of the Gardens by the Bay. There’s also a restaurant at the top of the tallest ‘tree’, where you can sample some excellent international cuisine, although this is not included in the tour price.

Night Safari
- Couples
For nature loving couples, Singapore’s world-first wildlife park for nocturnal animals is an unforgettable experience. Home to over 1,000 animals and 115 species, these night creatures go about their nightly activities, grazing, hunting and roaming about natural environments, all illuminated by moonlight. When you arrive, take a guided tour on the tram or walk along trails spanning seven geographical zones of the world, built to mirror the environments of the African savanna, Himalayan foothills, jungles of Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Stroll around the Leopard Trail and get up-close to gorgeous leopards, separated from these fierce felines by only a glass door. Visit the Fishing Cat Trail to see spotted fishing cats in action, then head to the Wallaby Trail to meet hopping marsupials in their walk-through habitat.

Capture your loving moments in Singapore by booking yourselves a private photography shoot with a professional cameraman. It’s best to arrange your photo shoot a few days before your session begins, chatting with your photographer about possible locations, landmarks and neighbourhoods that suit your interests.
On the day of your shoot, meet up with your photographer, let them start setting up your first shots, and ask for tips on the best poses for you and your group, whether you're looking for a romantic picture with a loved one or a candid moment with your friends. After your session, check out your images in an online gallery, where you can order prints and share digital copies with friends and family.
