Amara Hotels & Resorts has launched a revised programme of local experiences across its three properties in the region: Amara Singapore, Amara Sanctuary Sentosa, and Amara Bangkok. The programmes aim to familiarise guests with the culture and history of their surrounding neighbourhoods.
At Amara Singapore, guests can explore Tanjong Pagar and Chinatown through walking trails led by former gang members, food tours highlighting local dishes, and hands-on culinary workshops. The hotel also offers a self-guided digital map to explore heritage sites, eateries, and cultural spots.
Amara Sanctuary Sentosa, set on 3.8 hectares of gardens, provides heritage trails that include former British military sites and World War II shelters. Guests can also cycle around Sentosa or play padel tennis at the resort’s courts.
Amara Bangkok, in the Bang Rak district, offers guided tours of the Maeklong Railway Market, Thai cooking classes, and a Chao Phraya River dinner cruise. These activities provide insight into local markets, cuisine, and riverside landmarks.
Prices for the experiences start at S$12 (US$9) at Amara Sanctuary Sentosa, 1,800 baht (US$50) for the river cruise in Bangkok, and S$80 for culinary workshops in Singapore, with bookings required in advance.
