Lazarus Island has always been a bit of a secret. Tucked away from the crowds, this tranquil patch of sand and sea just off Singapore’s southern coast has long been a local favourite for beach picnics, bike rides, and laid-back weekends. But now? We’ve discovered there’s even more reason to hop on a ferry – the Lazarus Island Tiny Houses!
The Lazarus Island tiny house stays are officially open, and as expected, they look gorgeous. Think sustainable design meets cosy luxury, all on one of Singapore’s most peaceful islands. Whether you’re a couple looking for a romantic weekend, a solo traveller needing a digital detox, or a family keen for a beach escape, these tiny houses are your new go-to.
What’s so special about these Tiny Houses?
Well, for starters, by making use of the sofa bed, all of them except for Tiny House “2017” can sleep up to two adults and two children. Three of them even allow pets. These aren’t just any cabins, though; each of the five tiny houses is cleverly designed with its own unique theme.
- Tiny House “2000” is inspired by Nordic interior design, with teak wood finishes and minimalist furnishing.
- “1980” Tiny House on Lazarus Island is inspired by contemporary retro colours and contrast.
- Tiny House “1960” has an industrial-inspired interior design with black and dark wood finishes.
- “1900” Tiny House boasts a black and white studio space with rustic chrome finishes.
- Like “2000”, Tiny House “2017” is also inspired by Nordic interior design with white to teak wood finishes and minimal furnishing, although they are most certainly not identical twins.
Inside of each Lazarus Island Tiny House, you’ll find:
- A plush queen bed
- Air-conditioning (yes, please)
- A well-equipped kitchenette
- An ensuite bathroom with a hot shower
- Huge windows to let in natural light and sea views
Basically, it’s a little slice of off-grid island bliss with just the right amount of on-grid comfort.
What can you do on Lazarus Island?
When you’re not lounging in your tiny house, there’s plenty to explore. Rent a bike and cruise the coastal paths, enjoy a beach picnic, or simply swim and chill. You can also walk over to nearby St John’s Island via a causeway for more nature and history.
The best part? There’s no road traffic, no towering hotels, and no crowds. Just you, the sea breeze, and a charming little home that feels like it was made just for you.
How to book your Lazarus Island Tiny House stay
The tiny homes are run by Big Tiny, a company known for stylish, eco-friendly getaways. You can book directly through their Tiny Away website or keep an eye out on travel platforms that feature unique stays in Singapore.
Bookings have been popular, especially on weekends, so plan ahead if these Tiny Houses have found their way onto your bucket list.
Final thoughts: tiny but mighty
If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing Singapore in a different light, a Lazarus Island tiny house is your ticket. It’s an easy 15-20 minute boat ride from mainland Singapore, but once you arrive, it feels like another world. Add a good book, some beach snacks, and a couple of sunsets, and you’ve got yourself the ultimate island reset.
