1. Changi Point Coastal Walk

The Changi Point Coastal Walk is a scenic walking trail found just by the waterfront that nearby residents frequent for their daily leisurely strolls. The fact that this spot serves as the midpoint where lush greenery meets the salty sea breeze is what makes it one of the most tranquil romantic places in Singapore for nature walks.

Couples can start a romantic evening stroll along the boardwalk or take a seat on one of the many benches with a picnic dinner to catch the eventual sunset and watch as the sky and sea are dyed with vibrant hues. All these, along with passing boats and airplanes truly set a dreamy, romantic atmosphere for intimate conversations and quiet moments.

We’ve got couples who love the seaside and we know a few who don’t. This one is for those who don’t. The Singapore Botanic Gardens is a UNESCO World Heritage site with lush scenery with expansive landscapes. As a well-maintained historic garden, couples can expect a peaceful setting amidst nature without setting one foot beyond the city.

Since it’s open from 5am - 12am daily, earlybird couples can opt to have a morning run together amidst the beautiful foliage, or enjoy a romantic stroll around Swan Lake and a photograph or ten with the lake as a stunning backdrop.

You can even plan out a night picnic for a complete peaceful date night experience by packing a scrumptious dinner for two with a refreshing cooler in Montigo’s Ace Bottle to keep it cold for hours. If you’re lucky, you may even get to attend a free concert or event at the Symphony Stage!

Think relaxing watery elements, lush greenery, and themed gardens that remind your bae of that Korean or Chinese drama they’ve recently been binging on. Aside from romantic strolls, you and your other half will also have the chance to enjoy carefree splashing fun with shoes off at the Clusia Cove because romantic moments are also found in cheeky playtime. ;)

Fort Canning Park, once known as Fort Canning Hill, is a historic hilltop landmark that bore witness to many of Singapore’s historical milestones, making it a must-visit date spot for history buffs and curious minds. You’ve got historical artifacts found around the area, old tombs, and colonial structures that add a touch of enchanting somberness.

While the park’s green beauty is second only to the Singapore Botanic Gardens, it’s still one of the best romantic places in Singapore for curious couples seeking to include a blend of history, mystery, and perhaps even a whiff of the supernatural in their adventurous dates. 

On top of that, you can even train your partner to be the perfect IG boyfriend/girlfriend that captures stunning photographs with the backdrops here like the iconic Fort Canning Tree Tunnel. (You didn’t hear it from us!)

5. Siloso Beach, Sentosa Island

Sentosa Island is home to several beaches with Siloso Beach being one of them. What sets Siloso Beach apart from the rest is how it is actually a tiny body of land just off the coast of Sentosa Island. 

Beach-goers love its hip and happening nature thanks to the myriad of watersports and adrenaline-packed adventures available, fine sand, clear waters, stunning sunset, and vibrant light displays at the sea come nightfall.

Sunset chasing couples will love the romantic atmosphere at Siloso Beach’s quieter spots away from the main hustle and bustle while the beachfront bars and restaurants come alive at night for a lively backdrop. Those seeking a budget-friendly beach day out can always pack a scrumptious picnic candlelit dinner and enjoy it by the beach while admiring the sunset together over intimate conversations after a romantic stroll.

6. Palawan Beach, Sentosa Island

If you and your other half are explorers who enjoy hunting for curious discoveries, Sentosa’s Palawan Beach may be one of the most romantic places for you to explore. Palawan Beach is a happening spot thanks to the suspension bridge that connects the beach to Palawan Island, the assortment of food options, and of course, the hidden sculptures strewn about the beach waiting to be discovered.

For starters, couples can cross over to Palawan Island for bragging rights of arriving at the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia lookout point, followed by a search for the famed 90-degree Coconut Tree, and move on for a “treasure hunt” of the 4 hidden sculptures by recycling artist, Thomas Dambo, which are available until the end of 2024; Dreamer Dee, Little Lyn, Curious Sue, and Reef the Chief.

Bonus Tip: If you’d like a true hunting challenge with bae, try searching for the sculptures without the help of Google Maps! ;)

Cycle through the island while enjoying the clean, fresh air here amidst the park’s diverse flora and fauna, or take a brief respite on a bench and try your hand (or eyes) at bird watching, and visit the quiet beaches of Coney Island Park. 

You can also explore the area and search for hidden beaches and even your next hidden private spot that you and your other half can look forward to returning to for quality time away from city life.

It’s the perfect spot for a romantic escape after watching a play together in the theatre or a day picnic with your other half.

The Esplanade Roof Terrace is particularly romantic at night when the shimmering city lights come alive, making it one of the best quiet and picturesque romantic places in Singapore.

You’ll find shaded patio tables for casual indoor picnics in One Holland Village’s well-decorated space especially during the festive periods.

It’s best to head on over during the night with a little picnic basket of favourite goodies and perhaps even a nice scented candle to enjoy a lowkey but romantic night with your partner instead of your usual dinner date nights in one of the food establishments.

Jewel Changi Airport typically allows free access, but do note that spaces like the Canopy Park and Shiseido Forest Valley require an access fee to enter. That said, it’s definitely worth making time for a quiet date here in little nooks of this indoor forest for a cooling and tranquil atmosphere which contrasts the usual airport hustle.

What makes this particular bridge unique is how the secluded spots and seated wooden slats that offer comfortable seating are actually part of the bridge.

St John’s Island is less commercialised than other spots so couples can enjoy its serene and somewhat secretive atmosphere while embarking on a leisurely hike or stroll through the island, and enjoy a picnic there.

Standing tall at 165m as one of the world’s largest observation wheels, the Singapore Flyer promises a spectacular panoramic view of Singapore's skyline for a whooping 3-rotational 90 minutes ride when couples opt for the Sky Dining experience.

While a dining experience in the sky definitely costs a pretty penny, it’s undoubtedly one of the most romantic places in Singapore for couples to carry out intimate celebrations, proposals, and anniversaries. Just make sure to book at least a day in advance to secure your reservation for a romantic ride and avoid disappointing bae!

This is one of the rare romantic places in Singapore that exude a charming nautical feel while providing visitors with a panoramic view of the extensive Tuas Second Link bridge that connects Singapore and Malaysia.

This charming spot is best visited just before sunset so you and your significant other can marvel at the twilight skies over a leisurely stroll at the pier, then head to one of the waterfront restaurants found around the lighthouse for relaxed conversations over a romantic dinner date since picnicking is strictly not allowed within the premises. For an even more intimate setting, I’d recommend going during weekdays to skip the crowd.

This fully decked out theme park features a variety of fun attractions based on major Hollywood movies and shows like Jurassic Park, Transformers, and Shrek to name a few.

Even though it’s an incredibly lively and entertaining atmosphere, it’s surprisingly one of the top romantic places in Singapore for couples to truly unwind and experience the very same unbridled joys as kids typically would. 

Couples can enjoy thrilling rides, watch shows and catch the regular street parades or explore different themed areas to capture fun photographs they can then look back on in the future, and devour an arm-sized churro or giant turkey leg together to keep hungry bellies at bay.
