Villa Samadhi
PRICE: Worth maxing out for
Tucked away in a quiet enclave of Singapore’s Labrador Nature Reserve, The Villa Samadhi offers an unexpected escape from the city’s high-energy pace.
This intimate boutique hotel feels like a private sanctuary. Located just a short distance from the city’s vibrant urban core, yet far enough to feel worlds apart, the Villa Samadhi is a hidden gem that offers guests the rare opportunity to immerse themselves in Singapore’s natural beauty without sacrificing the comforts of modern luxury.
The architecture of The Villa Samadhi is a stunning fusion of traditional Malay design and contemporary sophistication. Housed in a beautifully restored colonial building, the property is reminiscent of a bygone era, with elegant teakwood floors, high-beamed ceilings, and charming courtyards that exude old-world charm. The blend of rustic elegance and polished luxury is carried throughout the property, where each space feels both intimate and expansive. The villas, designed with an emphasis on privacy and comfort, offer a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Lush greenery surrounds each villa, with cascading waterfalls and koi-filled ponds creating a sense of tranquility that complements the modern amenities within.
The hotel’s facilities are as refined and thoughtfully curated as its architecture. A highlight is the restaurant, a charming space where local and international flavors are celebrated with finesse. Guests can indulge in a range of dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, offering a fresh take on Singaporean cuisine. For those looking for ultimate relaxation, the spa offers a variety of treatments designed to soothe both body and mind, often inspired by traditional Asian healing techniques. Guests can also take a dip in the stunning outdoor pool, nestled in the midst of lush foliage, or unwind with a cocktail in hand at the open-air lounge, which overlooks the peaceful surroundings.
