Singapore is one of the most connected cities in the world, making it easy to hop across to a stunning natural escape with very little planning. Whether you are after lush rainforest views, a private island, or a beachside tent under the stars, glamping resorts within a few hours of Singapore deliver the beauty of nature without giving up comfort. These seven spots are among the best glamping options accessible from Singapore, spanning Bintan, Johor, and peninsular Malaysia.
From air-conditioned safari tents overlooking a crystal lagoon to eco-lodges set deep in the Malaysian jungle, each of these retreats offers something genuinely different. If you are planning a romantic weekend, a couple's escape, or simply a break from city life, read on for the full guide.
Cempedak Private Island is a 17-hectare private island off the coast of Bintan, Indonesia, approximately 91 kilometres from Singapore. The island has 20 bamboo villas, each designed in an open-air style with a private plunge pool overlooking the sea or beach. Access is via a ferry from Singapore to Bintan, followed by a boat transfer to the island, making the journey seamless from the city. Rates for a two-night stay start from S$1,676 for two adults on weekdays, inclusive of full board and return transfers from Bintan Ferry Terminal.
What sets Cempedak apart is its genuine sustainability commitment. The entire island runs on solar energy, grows its own vegetables, and supports The Island Foundation, a charitable organisation focused on education in the surrounding communities. Guests spend their days snorkelling, kayaking, windsurfing, and hiking through the island's lush interior. It is a rare combination of barefoot luxury and ecological responsibility, set in one of the most visually striking private island settings in the region.
Natra Bintan is set on Bintan Island overlooking the Crystal Lagoon, Southeast Asia's first large-scale man-made seawater lagoon. The resort has 100 safari-themed tents, each spanning over 40 square metres, fitted with four-poster beds, air conditioning, semi-outdoor rainforest showers, and private patios facing either the gardens or the lagoon. Room rates start from S$109 per night, with all-inclusive packages available from SGD 200 per person. The resort is approximately one hour from Singapore by ferry from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal.
Beyond the tents, Natra Bintan offers guided mangrove eco-tours, archery, paddleboarding on the lagoon, and spa treatments. The Patio Restaurant serves Indonesian and Western cuisine with seating right on the lagoon edge, and a complimentary breakfast buffet is included in most rates. It is a well-rounded property that works equally well for couples and families, with enough activities to fill a multi-night stay without ever leaving the resort.
If you are extending your trip across Johor or southern Malaysia, browsing hotels on Traveloka lets you compare hundreds of options across the region with real-time pricing and availability.
For those who want to stay within Singapore, Glamping Society at Pasir Ris delivers a fully air-conditioned glamping experience right by the sea. It is the first provider in Singapore to offer fully air-conditioned tents, a meaningful comfort upgrade over traditional outdoor setups. Tents are furnished with proper beds, rugs, and soft furnishings, with private toilet and shower facilities available on-site. Packages start from S$299 per night for a medium tent suited to two guests.
Glamping Society is particularly well-suited to romantic occasions, with anniversary, birthday, and proposal packages available featuring customised decor and candlelit picnic setups. The Pasir Ris beachside location means guests wake up to open sea views and park greenery, all within a short ride from the city centre. No camping permit is required at the Pasir Ris Seaside site, keeping the booking process simple. It is the most spontaneous-friendly option on this list, ideal for a last-minute one-night escape without crossing any borders.
Tiarasa Escapes is set in the Janda Baik rainforest in Pahang, Malaysia, about 45 minutes from Kuala Lumpur and approximately four hours by road from Singapore. The resort has 20 luxury safari-style tents and five treehouse villas, all perched within a misty mountain rainforest with streams running through the grounds. Rates range from RM800 to RM1,500 per night depending on the accommodation type, with all units featuring private bathrooms, air conditioning, private balconies, and a minibar. Guests have access to a riverside pool, an on-site restaurant serving halal and Asian cuisine, a full spa, and evening bonfires.
The elevated Ficus Treetop villa is among the most sought-after units, offering canopy-level views with a private outdoor deck. Hiking trails lead directly from the property into the surrounding hills, making it ideal for guests who want to pair relaxation with light adventure. Tiarasa Escapes is a consistently popular choice for romantic getaways given the combination of rainforest privacy and spa services. Advance booking is recommended for weekend stays, especially during Malaysian public holidays when the resort fills quickly.
There is plenty to explore across Johor and wider Malaysia beyond your glamping stay, and booking activities through Traveloka makes it easy to plan the full itinerary in one place.
The Dusun is a collection of seven private jungle lodges in the hills of Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, approximately three and a half hours by road from Singapore. Each lodge is entirely unique in design, positioned to maximise views of the surrounding Malaysian rainforest while maintaining complete privacy from neighbouring units. All lodges come with fully equipped kitchens, outdoor barbecue facilities, and access to two shared outdoor pools set amid lush greenery. Free breakfast using local produce is included in most bookings, giving the stay a warm, homegrown character.
The Dusun operates on a genuine low-impact philosophy, with the team hiring locally, composting on-site, using phosphate-free products, and practising organic farming on the grounds. A resident colony of dusky leaf monkeys and a rich variety of tropical birds make the surrounding jungle feel alive, without requiring guests to venture far from their veranda. Spa services are available on-site for guests looking to unwind after a day of forest walks. It is one of the best options on this list for travellers who want deep nature immersion with real character rather than a polished resort experience.
The Kabin in Port Dickson is built around a converted container cabin concept that blends industrial design with resort-level comfort, situated approximately 2.5 kilometres from Teluk Kemang Beach. The resort has seven cabin-style units accommodating groups of up to 34 guests across the whole property, with whole-property rates starting from RM2,700 per night on weekdays. Each unit sleeps up to six guests and is equipped with air conditioning, private bathrooms, and resort-standard furnishings. The drive from Singapore takes approximately three and a half to four hours via the North-South Expressway.
The container aesthetic gives The Kabin a visual personality unlike anything else in the region, with the steel structures softened by generous tropical planting around the grounds. It is a particularly strong choice for group getaways, corporate retreats, or extended family trips seeking a fully private, self-contained setting. Port Dickson's accessible beaches and water sports scene add easy half-day excursion options for guests. The combination of distinctive design, private grounds, and beachside proximity makes The Kabin a memorable alternative to conventional resort stays.
Tanjong Puteri Golf Resort in Pasir Gudang, Johor, sits just 35 minutes from the Singapore Causeway, making it one of the most accessible resort escapes on this list. The resort features a 36-hole championship golf course, three outdoor swimming pools including a waterslide, a full-service spa, and multiple dining outlets spread across its spacious grounds. Room rates start from around RM340 per night for standard accommodation, with villa-style options available for larger groups. Its location along the Johor Strait lends the property an open, scenic quality rarely found this close to the urban corridor.
For guests seeking a nature-adjacent retreat with polished resort facilities, Tanjong Puteri provides a compelling blend of greenery, open space, and easy access from Singapore. Couples and families can combine a stay here with a day trip into Johor Bahru's food and shopping scene, which has expanded significantly in recent years. The resort's wide range of outdoor facilities means there is always something to do whether guests prefer time on the golf course, by the pool, or in the spa. Its proximity to the Causeway also makes it a practical first or last night on a longer road trip up peninsular Malaysia.
Bintan is the most popular international glamping destination from Singapore, reached via a one-hour ferry from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. Ferries run multiple times daily and connect directly to Bintan Resorts Ferry Terminal at Bandar Bentan Telani. Booking in advance is recommended during weekends and school holidays, as capacity fills quickly on peak services.
Johor Bahru and destinations further up the peninsula such as Seremban, Port Dickson, and Janda Baik are all accessible by road from Singapore. Arranging a car rental gives you the flexibility to set your own schedule and stop along the way. The Woodlands Checkpoint and Tuas Second Link are the two main crossing points between Singapore and Malaysia. Journey times range from 35 minutes for Johor Bahru resorts to around three and a half hours for Seremban and Port Dickson.
For glamping destinations further into peninsular Malaysia, flying from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur and driving onward is a time-efficient alternative. Singapore's Changi Airport connects to Kuala Lumpur multiple times daily with flight times under an hour. Booking your flights and arranging an airport transfer in advance helps keep travel costs predictable and removes the guesswork from the journey. From Kuala Lumpur, both Janda Baik and Seremban are under an hour's drive.
