Your seven-step guide to spending a love-filled weekend in Singapore

Turn your fairytale dreams into reality in Singapore with romantic yet fun-filled activities. Whether you’re planning a dreamy weekend getaway, a one-of-a-kind adventure, or an intimate evening under the stars, the city has something special in store. From private yacht picnics and candlelit concerts to hands-on culinary experiences and secret island escapes, plan the most unforgettable ways to celebrate love.

For a dreamy dinner under the stars, book a private Garden Dome at The Summerhouse. Surrounded by lush greenery and bathed in the soft glow of fairy lights, this hidden gem offers an intimate escape from the city. Nestled within a colonial bungalow, The Summerhouse blends nature, history, and exquisite cuisine to create a truly magical experience. This Valentine’s, indulge in a special five-course menu featuring silky burrata, seared Hokkaido scallops, and wood-grilled Wagyu sirloin, all paired with a bottle of Moët & Chandon. The best part? Time your seating just right, and you’ll witness the sunset give way to a breathtaking starlit sky.

Skip the usual restaurant date and get hands-on at Food Playground on Sago Street, a cosy cooking studio in Chinatown. With a little guidance from local chefs, you and your partner will whip up classic Singaporean dishes, from fragrant chicken rice to spicy sambal prawns. Cooking together is all about teamwork—and of course, sneaking in a few bites along the way.

For a date that feels straight out of a dream, board a private yacht from ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove. As the boat glides across the water, you’ll take in stunning views of Marina Bay Sands and the Singapore skyline. Drop anchor at Lazarus Island for a peaceful moment away from the city, or simply relax on deck with a glass of champagne. As the evening sets in, a beautifully set table awaits on deck, where you’ll share a gourmet meal—fresh seafood, fine wine, and indulgent desserts. With nothing but the sound of waves around you, it’s a moment to slow down, soak it all in, and celebrate love in the most magical way.

For a night of pure romance, step into The Arts House for a candlelit concert.

For couples who crave adventure, a kayaking trip through the mangroves of Pulau Ubin is the perfect way to celebrate love. Paddle side by side through tranquil waters, surrounded by lush greenery and the sounds of nature. The deeper you go, the more the world quiets—just the rhythmic splash of your paddles and the occasional call of a kingfisher. Sometimes, the best way to connect is through shared silence, away from the city's buzz.

Where: 15-minute boat ride away from the main island of Singapore.
