Gay Singapore | The Essential LGBT Travel Guide!

Gay Singapore | The Essential LGBT Travel Guide!

For the longest time, it was easy to write off Gay Singapore as another homophobic Asian country. After all, same-sex activity was technically a criminal offense here until recently. Like 2022. Way too late, but better than never

And yet, even before this recent change, Singapore was – and continues to be – one of the most popular gay destinations in the region. After dark, the famous Neil Street in Chinatown comes to life as gay bars, clubs, spas, and saunas open their doors to tourists and foreigners alike.

Like many things in life, LGBT rights in Singapore are complicated. Same-sex sexual activity was illegal under British-era sodomy laws – though the law has not been enforced since 1999 – and while it is now legal with Singapore lifting its gay sex ban, it has blocked the path toward marriage equality.

Gay Singapore | The Essential LGBT Travel Guide!

No anti-discrimination legislation currently protects LGBT Singaporeans, yet if you are walking down the street holding your partner’s hand or checking into a hotel together, we can’t imagine anyone saying anything.

In many ways, Gay Singapore reflects the traditional Asian approach to LGBT citizens, where the family is the basic building block of society. If you ‘choose’ to be gay, it is best kept discrete from your family.

Things are changing, however, as the population pyramid changes and a younger, more progressive generation wrestles control. Just look at the 28,000 mostly young people who attend Singapore’s annual gay rights rally – Pink Dot SG. Singapore has a robust legal system, and hopefully, activists will continue to challenge the unfair law here in order to improve the lives of queer Singaporeans.

For now, however, while gay travelers should be mindful of the problems LGBT Singaporeans experience, they are unlikely to experience any issues in this dynamic melting pot of a city-state.

Not only does Gay Singapore offers wild nightlife, luxurious gay spas, and futuristic hotels – but there are plenty of green spaces, quirky art galleries, Michelin-starred fine dining, tropical weather, and world-class attractions.

And how could we forget the House of Blue Spin – the largest group of gay bars in Asia or the muscle gay boys who flock to Tanjong Beach Club on Sundays!

A city of the future where society clings on to the past, this global financial powerhouse offers something for everyone – LGBT or otherwise!

Attractions in Singapore

Being gay does not define which attractions most of us want to see in each city, and most queer travelers will simply want to check out the top things to see in Singapore during the day!

There is so much to do here – but we found our favorite memories were wandering through food markets, lying on the beach at Sentosa Island, and brunching in modern cafés before wandering through design studios and admiring the skyline.

One of the best tips we can give you for exploring Gay Singapore is to pre-ordering a travel SIM card for easy airport pickup and activation the moment you arrive, so you will not pay a fortune in international roaming charges.

Get restaurants recommendation and reservations on the fly, public transport instructions up to the minute, bar opening hours, and, if it is your thing – access to gay hook-up apps to find out more about the local scene.

Mobile data is fast, cheap and available almost everywhere in Asia, so it is no wonder most travelers choose to stay connected and get off the beaten track (without worrying about getting lost). So why wait? Pre-order the best local SIM card now to have it waiting for you when you arrive.

Still – it helps to have some idea of what is going on, so here are the best things to do in Singapore, according to us!

Tanjong Beac

The ultimate escape from the urban jungle, on one of Singapore’s finest sun-soaked stretches of sand, the  Tanjong Beach Club is a tranquil sanctuary only a 15-minute cab ride from the CBD – and yet a world away.

Sure, drinks are expensive in Singapore – but the Tanjong is so more so than your average bar, and the opulent amenities make them so worthwhile.

Frequently voted one of the best beach clubs in the world (seriously, who has the job of deciding how we sign up), the Tanjong Beach Club straddles the line between indoors and outdoors, taking its design influences from the seaside homes of yesteryear, mid-century modernism, and nostalgic maritime influences.

Set on a beautiful section of beach, on Sundays, Tanjong is also very LGBT-popular and the closest thing you will get to a Singapore gay beach.

Tough government restrictions make it virtually impossible to hold a parade, and foreigners are banned from attending the annual Pink Dot gay pride event!

Gay-Friendly and Gay Hotels in Singapore

Almost every hotel in Singapore can be considered gay-friendly, and you are unlikely to experience any issues traveling either alone or as a same-sex couple. After all, being gay-friendly is not all about upscale luxury but about providing friendly service and welcoming everyone with open arms!
 
Singapore is a global mega-city with a shortage of space, so room sizes are smaller than almost everywhere else in the world – but as many gay men know, it’s not all about size, but how you use it! We are talking about design, functionality and views, darling!

Gay Hotel Singapore Pullman Hill Street

Having said that, everyone likes to be surrounded by people with common interests, and as such, there are a few renowned gay-friendly hotels in Singapore where many gay travelers opt to stay – either because of their location near the Chinatown gay street or thanks to their design and inclusive vibes.

The following hotels in Gay Singapore have all had glowing recommendations from gay travelers in the past, but of course, there are hundreds of other hotels in Singapore if these are not quite what you are looking for.

Gay Nightlife in Singapore

While technically, gay sex in Singapore was illegal until very recently, that doesn’t stop the city from developing one of the most vibrant gay nightlife scenes in Asia. A welcome relief compared to other mega-metropolises nearby like Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur – though not quite on par with Bangkok, Taipei, Hong Kong or Tokyo in the north. 

Singapore’s gay nightlife scene has taken off over the past few years, and most of the LGBT venues are located around Neil Road in Chinatown.

If you are looking for an excellent place to start, check out our Gay Singapore map at the end to find your set. There are also some wild gay parties held throughout the years worth planning around if you can…. but depending on your mood, you can find anything here, from a relaxed cocktail in an upscale bar to an all-night dance rave surrounded by your queer family!

Chinatown Gay Bars

Tantric

Undoubtedly Gay Singapore’s most popular bar for over 13 years and still brings in immense weekend crowds who flock here for the funky mix of upbeat pop music. During the week, Tantric is more casual and perfect for meeting friends – or Grindr hookups for a drink beforehand.

Part of Singapore’s most popular rainbow landmark: the Home of the Blue Spin, one of Asia’s most significant gay bar groups that all serve the deadly Blue Spin namesake signature cocktail. Backstage, May Wong’s Cafe, Peppermint Park, and Flavours Bar are part of the same group.

Dorothy’s Bar

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Chinatown, Singapore, Dorothy’s Bar shines as a beacon of gay camaraderie and culture since its establishment in 2015. As the pioneer gay bar in the locale, it beckons with open arms, inviting patrons to a world where the whimsy of “The Wizard of Oz” meets the warmth of a homely retreat. The chic, fanciful decor and the cozy ambiance serve as the perfect backdrop for making new friends or lounging with old ones, all while sipping on affordably priced concoctions during the daily Happy Hour from 6pm to 8pm.

Its balcony, offering serene views over Trengganu and Temple streets, provides a tranquil escape to revel in the city’s pulsating energy. Dorothy’s Bar isn’t just a place to kick start an evening’s adventure into Singapore’s vibrant gay scene; it’s a reminder that “there’s no place like home,” especially when home is a place that celebrates love, diversity, and the best views of Chinatown. As Dorothy herself might say, with a cocktail in hand and overlooking the bustling streets below, “Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not just in Kansas anymore; we’re at the heart of it all!”

Backstage

A bastion of heritage and glamour, the Backstage Bar is a much-loved staple of Singapore’s pink district that manages to perfectly blend culture, intimate conversations, and delicious cocktails.

For those who want a bit more guaranteed action, the gay saunas in Singapore will not disappoint you (unlike all those faceless (unlikely all those faceless accounts on Grindr or the other hook-up apps…), although there is not quite as much selection as the gay sauna in Hong Kong, Taipei, and Bangkok.
 
In such a foreign-friendly city, you should have no issues visiting any Singapore gay sauna but be warned that we have heard reports that older, hairy or chubbier guys are being ignored in some saunas. Be sure to read our gay sauna guide if you are nervous or visiting for the first time!
