St. John's Island

For nature lovers, Singapore's many offshore islands offer lots of excitement. Visitors to St. John's Island will be pleased to learn that this includes not just beaches but also caves and mangroves, which may be explored on short hikes.

The beaches of St. John are narrow yet golden and gentle, with an abundance of lovely coral reefs around. They're a terrific location to unwind while listening to the waves breaking on the beach. Swimming lagoons, picnic areas, and a rustic ambiance can all be found on the island, which will appeal to those looking for a more relaxing vacation.

The many free-roaming cats that populated St. John's earned it the nickname "cat island." However, during the last few years, the SPCA's effective trap-neuter-return program has decreased the population to a tolerable level, which is now being watched over by dedicated caregivers.

Because there are no accommodations on the island, St. John's can only be visited as a day excursion. The Holiday Bungalow, a single property that can accommodate up to 10 people, is the only exception.
