Meditation & Yoga Retreats in Singapore

Singapore's retreat scene is compact and urban, reflecting the city-state's scale. Theravada (Buddhist Library), Mahayana (Kong Meng San Phor Kark See), and Tibetan Buddhist centers all run weekend and short residential retreats. The Insight (Vipassana) community runs regular silent retreats at partner sites. Several yoga studios offer weekend retreats in Singapore and nearby Indonesian and Malaysian islands. English is the working language; vegetarian Chinese, Indian, and Malay food is widely available. The climate is consistent year-round (hot and humid); indoor retreats run constantly. Most Western passports get visa-free entry. Cost: SGD 800–3,000 for a weekend or short retreat (~$600–$2,200). Singapore is most useful as a base for nearby Southeast Asian retreats.
