Nature retreat at Singapore blended with Coastal Broadwalk, Changi Village & Pulau Ubin


We spend 3 day 2 night at Changi Cove where the hotel is simple and cozy located at Changi greenery area with some old historical trees which previously is an army old barrack converted into a modern hotel where some locals like to host their wedding and company event here.

















The room has a bean bag for reading and watching TV with a touch of Nespresso coffee maker adding the cozy to the room. Beside that the room also filled with l'occitane toiletry that make the stay more fulfilled. There are a written wall that just right for company or individual planning.

















Lets have some great adventure the next day with a morning short walk to the Coastal Broadwalk which is just 300m from Changi Cove next to the Changi Beach Club. Then there are 4 sections of the broadwalk where we start off with sunset walk, then follow by Kelong walk, Cliff Walk and final section which is the Sailing Point Walk which take approximately 45 minutes reaching Changi Village where the jetty located.
















There is a Changi hawker food juncture where we can have a great famous Nasi Lemak before depart for Pulau Ubin. Take a bum boat ride for S$3 about 20 minutes to reach Pulau Ubin. This little tiny island can be fully visit with bicycle. Walking tour can cover Chek Java Wetland which I did. Walking from the jetty to Chek Java take approximately 45 minutes to an hour per way.
















Before reaching the Chek Java entrance and there are a jungle trek section where there are some monkeys and wild boar still exist around the nature trekking. All bicycles need to park outside the entrance and only walking are allow at Chek Java Wetland.
















There are 3 walking tour at Chek Java Wetland. There are a viewing jetty walk, then follow by the Chek Java coastal broadwalk and follow by the final Mangrove walk with the viewing tower.Whole walking journey took about 3 to 4 hours but a half day would be more relax.
