Romantic hotels in Singapore: Best staycations
and weekend getaways for couples
From intimate boutiques to luxurious five class hotels, we pick ten
of Singapore's most romantic hotels
What’s your idea of a romantic hotel? For some,
it’s secluded resorts or intimate boutique retreats. For others, it’s
pure luxury: opulently furnished cocoons, five-star
service and the hottest restos for sophisticated candlelight dinners. So
take your pick, lovebirds; we give the low-down on the
10 best romantic hotels in Singapore for your sizzling staycay.
If you’re looking to celebrate your love in the lap of
luxury, The St. Regis is the epitome of timeless elegance. Every
crevice of the hotel oozes grandeur and opulence, including the
abodes that are lavishly decorated
with luxurious textures (think Jim Thompson silk throw
pillows, rich draperies and plush divans) as well as premium
amenities. Your epicurean experiences are no less prestigious here
either – there’s no better way to pamper each other than
sophisticated feasting in the renowned Brasserie Les
Saveurs.

Hotel
Let’s not beat ’round the bush: The Scarlet Hotel is
known as the destination for romantic romps. Bold, brash, and
unapologetically boudoir-esque, the hotel’s rooms are decked in
sensual crimson hues, plush textures of velvet and suede, and
brassy decor (we’re talking leopard print, patent leather and
python). Tip: Swing by Aria, the rooftop resto, for breezy
cocktails and nibbles before you descend to your love
nest’s private jacuzzi tub for (even more)
canoodling.

The
Eden & Nirwana room at Naumi Hotel calls for long soaks with
your other half
Despite tipping the scales towards larger boutique
hotels, the 73-room Naumi Hotel still preserves the intimate
feel of smaller properties with its unique themed rooms and
attentive service. Rooms cocoon couples in comfort with seven layer
beddings (400 thread-count Egyptian Cotton sheets, no less),
designer furnishings and luxurious bathtubs for indulgent soaks. Be
sure to pop upstairs to the rooftop infinity pool; descend after
dark, order up a couple of cocktails and cuddle up in your private
poolside cabana.

A
stay at The Fullerton Hotel promises spacious rooms and
stunning views of Marina Bay
Gents, if you’re surprising your better halves, we
promise The Fullerton Hotel will duly impress. The heritage
property’s reputation is unparalleled, and we don’t just mean its
magnificent prominence on the Singapore skyline. We recommend a
stay in one of the suites if you’re splurging – our top pick is the
Loft Suite. These palatial two-storey duplexes boast high ceilings,
generous living and dining areas, as well as an expansive balcony
with gorgeous bay views.

If you’re time-strapped and a romantic island getaway
just isn’t on the cards, you can always turn to our favourite isle
of Sentosa. Replicate your overseas villa experience with a stay at
Amara Sanctuary. Combining colonial architecture and a tropical
landscape, the one-bedroom villa is our top choice for a loved-up
stay over the weekend; it features a living room, alfresco
dining area with a retractable canopy and outdoor stone bath.
The pièce de résistance? The private plunge pool. Two words: Skinny
dipping (but you didn’t hear it from us).

There’s no disputing this: Raffles Hotel is
a legend. Old-world romance meets intoxicating luxury at this
colonial-style icon, that has greeted some of the world’s
biggest celebrities and personalities, including the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge. Only suites are available here, with each
offering elegant period furnishings, 14-feet ceilings and views of
lush tropical gardens within the vicinity. Wander hand-in-hand
around some of City Hall’s most historic landmarks, like the
National Museum and CHIJMES, before retiring to the hotel’s
courtyard for a candlelit dinner.

Expect
to take lots of couple selfies at Lloyd’s Inn
One of the city’s most Instagrammed-to-death
hotels is this dream dig for minimalist couples. While the
property’s facilities are rather limited for outdoor
canoodling, its clean, mostly-white palette (which beautifully
juxtaposes surrounding foliage), abundant sunlight and quiet
residential locale in the city’s heart has us returning for repeat
visits. We recommend The Big Skyroom for its cosy, loft-like
vibes and outdoor bathtub in your own private terrace.

Thanks
to these his-and-her tubs, expect scintillating soaks at New
Majestic Hotel’s Attic Suites
While not the obvious choice for romance, New Majestic
Hotel is a fab option for alternative couple staycations.
Besides its period-inspired lobby and dramatic pool, its 30 rooms
range from suites and private garden suites, to attic rooms with
loft beds and six metre-high ceilings. The main draw here for
couples? The well-designed rooms with gorgeous tubs. The Attic
Suite features dual his-and-hers vintage cast-iron bathtubs on
the first floor, while the Aqua room features a central
glass-encased aquarium bathtub in the middle of the
room.
