It was here that Raffles moored his fleet before sailing to Singapore on January 29, 1819. Located 6.5 km south of Singapore, Saint John was once a quarantine center for leprosy and cholera patients. In the 1950s, it became a penitentiary, then a drug rehabilitation center... Never fear, the island finally opened up to tourism in the 1970s. With its white sandy beaches, lagoons, hiking trails and nature, it's the ideal destination to escape Singapore. There's only one option for accommodation, and that's Saint John's Island Lodge, which rents out bungalows or dormitory beds.
