COLORFUL, CLEAN AND serene, Singapore is a haven for families. The best hotels for kids here emphasize not just keeping them active and entertained but also keeping moms and dads sane by providing all the child-care gear you’ve left at home—not to mention blissful moments of parent-specific spa pampering.
CAPELLA SINGAPORE
Perfect for a multi-generational getaway, Capella’s got a wide array of room options, with two-bedroom Villas and three-bedroom Manors on the palatial end of the spectrum. Families can bond with cultural tours and workshops, designed by the resort’s in-the-know Capella Culturists. Otherwise, the kiddos will be entertained with activities like Little Stars Culinary Workshops, scavenger hunts, and bracelet making.
It wouldn’t be a Sentosa holiday without plenty of swim time, and you’ll find opportunities for that in the resort’s family pool and at Palawan Beach, a mere wander away through a hidden garden door. Dining effortlessly caters to both adults and children, with kid-friendly menus available.

MARINA BAY SANDS
MBS may be mostly known as an adult’s playground, but there are also great attractions for kids on site. The Sands Family Suite, for one, is a thoughtfully designed retreat with a dedicated children’s room, equipped with bunk beds, storybooks, Adventure Packs, and a Nintendo Switch. Upstairs at MBS, there’s the obvious allure of the world’s largest rooftop infinity pool, which has a family-friendly area and a section just for kids, complete with little life jackets. There are also myriad fun things to do downstairs: sampan rides in the mall, the ArtScience Centre, dining and shopping around the waterfront, and, of course, a stroll to the Supertrees and Gardens by the Bay.
