5 Nature Spots You Didn’t Know Existed In Singapore

These lush Garden City nature spots are the real reason why Singapore is well-known and often called, well, an unspoiled Garden City.

5 Nature Spots You Didn't Know Existed In Singapore
1. Urban Farms
image

Farming in land-scarce Singapore is no longer crazy talk. 

In fact, urban farms — as many on rooftops or balconies — are taking off. Find gear and like-minded groups at grow-your-own companies such as Aerospring Gardens or Edible Garden City. 

Or, “adopt” a vetical farm at Pocket Greens, where you simply sow the seeds then return to harvest your produce. 

2. The Hidden Spots In The Botanic Gardens
image

Sure, we all know the Singapore Botanic Gardens — it’s the city’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site — but did you know… there are many hidden spots? 

3. Outdoor Spas

Who says Singapore’s only spas are behind closed doors? 

Treatments at Aramsa Spa in Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park include individual garden courtyards and outdoor showers. 

The Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort’s SO Spa has an outdoor pavillion and spa garden, and lets you soak in a mud pool after your pamper sesh. 

 

 

4. Reservoirs and Dams
image

Besides being one of Singapore’s main sources of water, its protected reservoirs and manmade dams and canals serve as peaceful zones within the bustling city. 

Some of the prettiest: MacRitchie Reservoir, Upper Peirce Reservoir, Marina Barrage and Rochor Canal. 

5. Reflexology Paths
image

Have you ever seen a smooth, pebbled path in a Singapore park and wondered what it’s for? 

Take off your shoes and walk on it, slowly — it’s a free reflexology massage! 

Find them at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Katong Park, Tiong Bahru Park and other public parks and playgrounds around the Garden City.
