The Southern Islands of Seringat, Lazarus, St John’s and Kias are set to be a more alluring getaway destination for nature lovers, locals and tourists.
Conveniently accessible from a dedicated jetty at Sentosa Cove, the islands are just a short 15-minute boat ride away. In particular, visitors to Lazarus Island will enjoy enhanced experiences with a range of offerings.
Into the Woods is a series of nine glamping units that enable guests to experience overnight beachfront glamping on the Lazarus Island. Set to open in Q4 of 2024, each unit provides comfortable glamping options for up to four visitors, encouraging urban dwellers to take a break from the city and reconnect with nature.
Specially curated welcome kits will be provided for guests. The kit contains items such as “plantable” stationery and a natural watercolour painting set, inviting guests to rejuvenate and enjoy a slower pace of life through low-intensity activities such as painting and drawing during their stay.
A convenience store by Bespoke Dining Club (BDC) makes food and beverage options readily available to visitors of the Southern Islands. Sol by BDC offers a curated selection of day-to-day necessities and groceries. These include grab-and-go snacks, microwavable ready-to-eat meals and ready-to-grill food items curated by chef-owner Samuel Quan that guests can purchase, along with barbecue pits that utilise eco-friendly materials. There are even essentials like towels, picnic mats, ponchos, swimming floats and sandals.
For eco-conscious fun, Lazarus Sea Sports Centre (LSSC), operated by watersports company Camelot, offers a range of non-motorised water activities such as stand-up paddling, kayaking and floating yoga – a first in Singapore – for visitors to participate in amid the scenic waters of the Southern Islands.
In addition, a “Discover the Southern Islands” guide has also been collaboratively developed, providing guidelines for visitors to enjoy their time at the islands responsibly. The guidelines include “Do’s and Don’ts” when encountering wildlife and waste management instructions, among other useful tips. The guide will be available online here.
These are on top of earlier launched Tiny Away Escape @ Lazarus Island, a series of five compact accommodation units by Big Tiny since April 2023, and a bicycle rental kiosk by Gogreen Eco Adventure on St John’s Island.
