8 condos with sky gardens, infinity pools and other amazing facilities you’ll love to lounge at
Swimming on the rooftop
The infinity pool at Marina Bay Sands has become an iconic tourist must-see in Singapore. But imagine the luxury of having a similar rooftop pool on top of your condo, with that ‘disappearing’ edge and stunning sea views to boot.

That’s what you’ll get at the Alex Residences. Situated at Redhill, this sleek 40-storey condominium is also the tallest building in the area. From its rooftop, you can enjoy some great views all the way to Sentosa Island to the south from the comfort of the lap pool, and did we mention the hammocks that you can use? The property also stylishly makes full use of its compact land size by integrating a wide variety of facilities such as children’s playgrounds, family pool, a chess garden, tea pavilion, BBQ pits and more on four floors — the 4th, 14th, 24th and 40th.
A sky pool with spectacular views at Sky Habitat in Bishan
Further north, there’s Sky Habitat in Bishan, which comprises two towers connected by no less than three Sky Bridges, the highest of which (on level 38), boasts a rooftop infinity lap pool that looks out to panoramic views of central Singapore. Palm trees and other tropical plants as well as the lounging decks add to the resort-feel of this luxurious property; owners of terrace units are also given planters to encourage them to contribute to the lush greenery sported throughout the condominium too.

If you prefer lush green foliage to go with those amazing rooftop views, check out The Echelon on Alexandra View which is just further down the road. You’ll find greenery interspersed throughout the property, be it along its rooftop pool, or at its peaceful Tranquility Gardens on levels 13 and 28. There’s extra incentive to stay active (and nimble): facilities in this property include a pool-facing gym and a yoga deck on level 15, as well as a tennis court next to the lap pool on the first floor. Another plus point: this building also won the BCA Green Mark Platinum Award for its eco-friendly features.
Gardens in the sky
There’s no better way to unwind after a stressful day than being surrounded by greenery, except perhaps doing so several hundred feet off the ground. We’re talking about sky gardens of course, and Singapore is blessed with some of the finest.

In the north east there’s Stars of Kovan, with the Celestial Realm and its idyllic gardens taking pride of place on the rooftop. On these elevated gardens, you’ll get to do everything from throwing a BBQ party, walk along the pebbled reflexology path and stroll along a sky bridge that links the towers; there are even spa pools that help recreate that resort-like experience. And, because most properties in the area are low-rise, you’ll get unspoiled views across the Kovan area from these scenic sky gardens.
A view of Keppel Bay from the Sky Gardens at Skyline Residences
Also be sure to check out the sky gardens on the 24th storey of Skyline Residences. What better way to end a long day than taking in sights of the sunset set against the backdrop of Telok Blangah Hill Park and the sea. Other facilities include a 50m lap pool and tennis court at ground level, but with views this good, you’ll want to linger around to soak it all in. It’s worth moving in soon to maximise the views — in 2021, the lease runs out on Keppel Golf Club and the government is set to take back the land, which means the area is set for further growth.
Stairway to heaven

We all know that Singapore has some impressive condos, but how many can boast of having their very own waterfall? Highline Residences lets you experience the trendy area of Tiong Bahru in a new way from its unique Green Ridge, which leads to an elevated outdoor fitness section. Situated right beside the stairway entrance, the waterfall cascades alongside the steps from the fifth to first floor. The array of pool facilities are perfect for water babies too — you’ll find everything from an Olympic-sized pool, children’s section to a leisure pool.
Secret gardens
Space is at a premium in Singapore, so there’s something extra special about having your very own private rooftop garden. But where can you find one?

Start by checking out Pollen & Bleu near Holland Village. Facilities of this building are organised into three areas: The Secret Garden (1st storey) which surrounds the property in greenery, The Floating Garden (which includes an infinity pool, a children’s playground and more on the 4th storey) and The Enchanted Garden on the roof which looks out to almost unobstructed views of the greenery in the area, as the property is on raised ground. And of course some of the larger units come with a private roof terrace so you can enjoy the surrounding scenery in total privacy.

And don’t miss The Interlace, which won the prestigious World Building of the Year title at the World Architecture Festival for its distinctive geometric design. Some of the larger units come with their very own private rooftop decks, which boast views of the city centre as well as the condominium’s remarkable architecture. What’s more, its communal areas boast features that are both scenic and recreational such as a lotus pond, landscaped terraces, a jogging track and other designated play areas for kids as well as pets.
