Immerse yourself in Singapore's unique blend of Chinese, Malay, Indian, Eurasian, and Middle-Eastern heritage by visiting its different ethnic precincts. 

Start with Kampong Glam, located just minutes away from Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Beach Road. Gain an insight into this historic district featuring Malay, Bugis, and Arab communities that date back to the 1800s. Snap Instagram-worthy photos of the majestic Sultan Mosque, visit the Malay Heritage Centre to learn about Singapore's indigenous Malay communities, and peruse the precinct’s charming shops  offering anything from Arabic carpets to handmade accessories. 

Next, discover the heady charms of Little India—a colourful, vibrant neighbourhood that presents the best of Singapore's Indian community. Pay homage to the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, one of Singapore's oldest Hindu temples dedicated to the destroyer of evil, the goddess Kali, or Sri Veeramakaliamman. While the exterior stuns with intricate statues of Hindu deities, the interior dazzles with beautiful colourful carvings of the goddess Kali. Little India is also a shopping and food paradise, with myriad small shops offering anything from flower garlands, jewellery, sarees, henna art, to countless vegetarian and non-vegetarian South and North Indian food options.  

Finally, make a stop at Chinatown to discover Singapore’s local Chinese food, heritage, and culture. Here, old shophouses are refurbished to keep their original pre-war styled architecture, with many selling traditional Chinese crafts. Chinatown is also one of the areas where you can gain an insight into Singapore’s diverse culture, with a Buddhist temple, a Hindu temple and a mosque all located in one single street. Do also check out the numerous eateries located in the vicinity, including the famous Chinatown Food Centre at Smith Street.

Take it slow with a relaxing day at the beach on Sentosa Island’s Tanjong Beach. One of the more secluded beaches on the island, you can enjoy a spot of privacy along white stretches of sand in the crescent-shaped bay. Pack a picnic basket and lay near the palm trees, which offer welcoming shade in the tropical heat.

Kick up a notch next with a trip to the Singapore Flyer. Dusk is the most romantic time to take a spin, with the stunning cityscape turning in shades of gold and red before being blanketed by the twinkling city lights. 

Last, but certainly not least, you can turn up the romance with a sunset dinner cruise on the Royal Albatross, which was voted the Top 10% of Attractions Worldwide by Tripadvisor for 2020 and 2021. The dinner cruise takes you from Sentosa to the calming waters around the island as you and your loved one enjoy a sumptuous three-course dinner, ending your Singapore trip on a high note.
