I recommend the Southern Islands.
Formerly known as Pulau Sakijang Pelepah, Lazarus Island offers sandy beaches and inviting waters. A 800-metre stretch of beach now connects Pulau Seringat following land reclamation efforts in early 2000s. The lagoon is excellent for swimming and snorkelling. Scuba diving is suitable for experienced divers due to the strong currents.
Lazarus Island
Kusu Island is home to a Tua Pekong temple. Taoist devotees make annual pilgrimages to pray for prosperity, good luck and fertility. There is also a mosque by the name of Kramat Kusu. But of course, if your purpose is to chill out, it also offers nice warm waters for you to swim in.
Kusu Island
Another popular spot is St. John's Island. It used to be a quarantine station for leprosy sufferers and a penal colony. Today, you would have hardly guessed its unglamarous past, with its alluring swimming lagoons, white sandy beaches, inviting picnic grounds, trekking routes and soccer fields.
St. John's Island
Sisters' Islands is a popular site for experienced scuba divers. The currents are very strong.
How to get there:
You can take a ferry operated by Singapore Island Cruise to Kusu Island and St. John's Island. You need private charters to get to Sisters' Island and Lazarus Island.
