Singapore’s Island Resorts and Parks


You may think that Singapore is all about sky rise buildings, shopping centers, sea ports and ship repairing. The country which is highly urbanized and with only a small portion of its land remains a forest still has many island resorts and parks that provide relaxation, enjoyment, beauty and cozy atmosphere. The resorts and parks are Singapore’s ways of preserving nature’s natural beauty.

One of the islands located in the South of Singapore that is a well-loved tourist destination is Sentosa. It is an island resort which has many attractions which include a 2 km beach, two golf courses and five-star hotels, Fort Siloso and the Resorts World Sentosa has a casino, the theme park Universal Studios and the Marine Life Park which is the world’s largest oceanarium. Sentosa which has an area of 5 km, was once known as Pulau Blakang Mati. Excluding the main land, it is the fourth largest island in Singapore. It’s the habitat of several birds, animals and reptiles.

Parks are also considered as Singapore’s popular tourists spots. One of them is the Jurong Bird Park. It is typically a landscaped park and is located at the western end of Singapore. Jurong Bird Park is the largest and most amazing bird park in Southeast Asia. If you decide to visit Singapore you will be greatly astonished to see 9,000 various birds from over 600 species. Definitely, you will never get to see all the birds even if you probably spend a vacation in Singapore for a month. And if you miss your trip, you will have so many regrets.

Talking about missing trips, if you plan to travel to Singapore and you missed your flight, some tickets cannot be refunded, so it is best that when booking your trip you should get travel insurance Singapore for you to be reimbursed with your tickets. Also, it is important find the best travel insurance that provides this kind of coverage.

Another park that is suited for nature lovers is the Kent Ridge Park. It has an area of 47 hectares which provides a superb view of Pulau Duran Darat, an off-shore Island.
