People come to Singapore for a lot of reasons- business, pleasure, or to visit friends and family who live there. This thriving tropical island nation is one of the most culturally diverse in the world, with four official languages spoken! The city is a busy, bustling place and there is something going on 24-7, the business hours are always followed by pleasure hours! Singapore is a city with a lot of heart and its people are good-natured and friendly, but sometimes it can all feel a bit crowded and hectic, which is when you need to get off the street and relax for a while, just find a nice place to hang out. Fortunately, Singapore offers a multitude of ways to accomplish that, some more mellow, some more active, but always with fun and refreshments in mind! Let’s have a look at the hangouts that Singaporeans and their international guests enjoy, we are sure you will find one that suits your fancy!
P.S.O. Beach Club – Located in the iconic Pullman Singapore Orchard Hotel on Orchard Street, this unique Singapore Beach Club isn’t actually by the seaside, but brings a semblance of the seaside conveniently downtown for you to bask and relax in! Nestled around a lovely swimming pool you will find an urban oasis of luxurious cabanas with sofas and sunbeds to lounge on, and a swim-up bar where you can wet your whistle while nice and wet in the pool’s warm and soothing waters. Soak up the sun by the poolside smiling with the knowledge that just beyond the club’s easy-going ambience the street traffic is still going by, but you have made your escape, enjoying your own secluded slice of heaven! The Beach Club is a truly delightful experience, the best place to escape downtown while still being downtown!
Kulnari Mystery Golf – This popular Singapore hang-out is a little bit more on the active side, but still a great place to unwind, with the added pleasure and challenge of solving a mystery while enjoying 18 holes of indoor mini golf! This amazing attraction combines a gripping storyline, an immersive set that makes you feel like you have stepped through a doorway in time to the Roaring Twenties, and mini golf to give you an experience like no other! When you hit the 9th hole, the midpoint of your journey into fun and mystery, you can take a breather at the Salon Atheneum bar, and refresh yourself with one of their signature cocktails while you work through the clues and get ready for the adventure the next 18 holes has in store for you! It doesn’t really matter if you solve the mystery or not (but it is a lot of fun trying!), when you reach the last hole you will feel as if you enjoyed a voyage into another world. This is an experience like no other, and not to be missed!
