Singapore Holidays
Cheap Holidays in Singapore
Singapore is a beautifully modern island located between Malaysia and Indonesia just off the southern extremity of the Malay Peninsula. Known as the 'Lion City', Singapore has rapidly grown into an international business centre and while development has left the city dazzlingly clean and uber modern, Singapore still retains its original culturally layered charm. Amongst the futuristic blocks, buildings and malls, you can still happen across historic quarters tucked away, where the streets are vibrant with the colours, sounds and smells of a multi ethnic street life. The wonderfully tropical climate in Singapore makes it the perfect holiday destination to make the most of the stunning paradisal beaches. Singapore's beaches are characterised by fine white sands, azure glassy waters and an ambience of restful relaxation.

Its location in Southeast Asia has made Singapore an island that has drawn influences and cultures from its neighbouring areas of China, Indonesia and Malaysia. Each different society has its own quarters in the city yet the influences are apparent throughout the island. The interwoven streets and alleyways are a colourful myriad of colonial architecture, temples, mosques, markets and street stalls. With all the modern convenience of luxury hotels and modern shopping facilities, the blend of old and new makes both an eclectic and beguiling holiday.
