Best social clubs in Singapore

Singapore’s social clubs are more than just places to meet people; many, such as The American Club, have a long history and rich heritage. Then, there are newer spaces such as The Nanson, which offer a modern wellness-centred experience apart from networking opportunities.

If you’re looking to become the social butterfly you’ve always wanted to be, here are the best social clubs in Singapore. Whether you enjoy attending social events, playing sports, or simply meeting new people, there’s a club to suit your interests on this list.

How I chose these best social clubs

These are the 3 main criteria I used to decide which social clubs to recommend:

• Variety: The list includes traditional social and sporting clubs as well as modern private members’ clubs.
• Wide range of interests: From sports to dining to wine, these clubs offer different experiences.
• Community: These clubs boast a strong community, where you can bond with others over shared interests, organised activities and member gatherings.

This isn’t a ranked best-to-worst list, but a collection of the best social clubs overall, in no particular order. Do note that since these are private clubs, you should check their current membership terms and policies; some may require referrals. It is also best to enquire with them directly about membership fees and applications. 

1. The American Club

Located at Claymore Hill near Orchard Road, The American Club is a private members’ club that combines almost everything you could ever wish for under one roof. Dining, fitness, leisure and family activities? They’ve got it all. Founded in 1948, it boasts 77 years of heritage, community and connection with generations of members. To date, there are 11,000+ members, 90+ nationalities and 25 committees at The American Club.

Members can access various dining concepts depending on their needs. If you’re looking for something more laid-back, Central is a cafe with coffee, sandwiches and more. For something more upscale, The 2nd Floor is your best choice, featuring casual premium fine dining. Besides food, the club also offers fitness and wellness experiences. You can enjoy a multitude of sports such as Pilates, golf, swimming and squash. There is also a spa, where you can get pampered with treatments such as facials and mani-pedis to look and feel your best.

2. The British Club

Want to feel as if you’re on a getaway to a secret island? The British Club is Singapore’s only Hilltop Retreat, surrounded by lush greenery. Situated in the Bukit Timah area, the club is secluded and tucked away, providing a quieter setting away from the hustle and bustle of city life. This unique club covers more than 5,900 square metres and has members of more than 50 nationalities.

The club houses a wide variety of facilities to enjoy: 4 restaurants, 7 banquet venues, along with a range of sports and activities. Their main highlight for me has to be their 3 swimming pools; imagine relaxing in the water whilst surrounded by all the greenery. It’s a tropical resort vacation, except you’re still in Singapore. There are 3 swimming pools for you to channel your inner Michael Phelps: a 25M main pool, a 20M lap pool and a children’s pool.
