Be tourists for a day
When was the last time you both went to Singapore Zoo or River Safari? It's time to create loving scenes for yourselves. Sling on the camera or put on your tourist-looking sunhat. Treasure every moment with renewed excitement.

Have a romantic picnic
If you think having a picnic at Marina Barrage is too mainstream, check out Bay East Garden at Gardens By The Bay where you will have glorious views of the Marina Bay skyline and tranquilty in the bustling city—that's just perfect for two.

Visit Coney Island Park
The relatively newly open nature haven is accessible by two bridges linked to Punggol and Pasir Ris. It took 15 months to build and was open to the public since October last year. Feel the rustic charm of the park while cycling down with your favourite person. There is no need for a boat; don't forget to take the iconic shot at the entrance!

Create your own photoshoot
Bring out your DSLR and tripod stand while choosing a location that speaks volumes about your relationship together. It can be as simple as your kitchen where cooking is a shared interest, or your secondary school where you both first met.

Jog/cycle along Singapore River
A must-try running gem spot for both locals and foreigners alike, bring your partner here for a breezy evening run along iconic Singapore River. Set aside your work and leave early for a refreshing workout session— passing UOB Plaza and the Fullerton Hotel to reach Marina Bay.

Go ice skating
Fearful of getting 5 shades darker while roller-blading? Ice skating is the best alternative for some gliding fun and excitement. Be ready to pull your partner up when they are falling! 'Being there for you when you fall," indeed.

No need for expensive dinners and exclusive staycations.

Sometimes, it just takes a little effort and time from both to make it happen. Planning for romantic dates, amidst our ultra-busy schedules, can prove to be challenging—adding to the fact that Singapore doesn’t allow for winter sports or Tomorrowland, even.

From the newly-opened Coney Island Park to creating some art together, you won’t have to rack your brains any further on what to do next weekend. Take some time to write out a sweet note or prepare a simple, lovingly-made breakfast before heading out.

As you find renewed passion and meaning in your relationship, don’t forget to take some pictures and elevate #relationshipgoals to a new height.
