Best Singapore holiday apartments

Singapore is one of the most fascinating cities in Asia. Founded as a British trading colony in 1819 it is now one of the wealthiest countries in the world with a vibrant mix of Malay, Indian and Chinese cultures. Renting a holiday apartment in Singapore from 9flats lets you experience that culture first hand. You will be staying among the locals in residential districts rather than being isolated in a tourist hotel. Staying at a 9flats holiday apartment in Singapore is much like couchsurfing in Singapore except that you will have the privacy and comfort of your very own room or apartment.
Your holiday accommodation in Singapore will see you staying in the midst of this bustling city of 5 million people, the second most densely populated country in the world behind Monaco. It is a city famous for its shopping, nightlife and wonderful food and combines the skyscraper skyline of a modern city with a rich cultural heritage.

Enjoying the city from your holiday apartment in Singapore

The Orchard Road district is one of the most famous shopping areas in Asia, with upmarket boutiques lining the streets. Chinatown on the other hand is a great place to pick up an antique bargain. Eating is a national pastime and tucking into a south east Asian dish with a beer at one of the local markets is a rare treat. For something a little more upmarket, Singapore has some of the finest restaurants in Asia and a cocktail at Raffles is something of an institution. Much of what is written about Singapore concerns the dense population and hubbub of what is the world’s busiest port but it also has a quieter side. Half of the city’s area is green and you will find no less than 50 parks and 4 nature reserves in this city state.

Choosing your holiday accommodation in Singapore

Singapore is a city of many contrasting districts and you are sure to find something to suit your preferences. A holiday apartment in Marine Parade for example lies to the east of the city centre and is close to the new Marina Bay development of casino, gardens, flower dome, cloud forest and hotel. It is also handy for Changi international airport. A holiday apartment in Outram meanwhile lies just to the north of the central business district. It has good transport links to the city centre and contains the atmospheric Chinatown area.

Moving on from Singapore

To the north west, on the Malaysian mainland, a holiday apartment in Kuala Lumpur will let you experience this sprawling metropolis and cultural melting pot. The old city centre contains many of the original buildings while the Golden Triangle is the city’s famous shopping district. A holiday apartment in Hong Kong meanwhile will immerse you in this incredibly exciting city where east meets west in a heady mixture of big business, world class shopping and great food.
