St. John’s Island, located off the coast of Singapore, carries a rich and somber history as a former quarantine center, political prison, and drug rehabilitation facility. Today, the island offers a tranquil escape with its lack of commercial establishments such as cafés or shops. Visitors can spend the night in simple bungalows, observe the island’s feline residents, or engage in fishing from the pier or along the beach. The serene environment and historical significance make it a unique destination for those seeking a more reflective and peaceful experience.
