Shangri-La Singapore

Orchard Road, Singapore

Australia Stopovers - Singapore

Singapore is a tiny country of contrast, where the traditional side of the Far East meets the modern. The City State leads the way in South East Asia's push for development, and makes a truly fascinating introduction to the region. The vibrant island of Sentosa is just 15 minutes from the city centre and has packed with themed attractions, while an hour or so away is the relaxed Indonesian island of Bintan, where quality hotels and lush scenery make it a perfect retreat from the city.

Stopovers in Singapore on the way to Australia work best when flying with Singapore Airlines from Heathrow or Manchester, who have regular flights to various cities in Australia including Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.
