It's World Toilet Day! It sounds like a funny thing to celebrate, but this is a legit annual UN observance to raise awareness about the sanitation crisis affecting billions across the globe. Here in Singapore, we're lucky to have a well-managed sanitation system and clean and readily-available public restrooms. And we also have some of the best toilets in the world – in our airport, at least.
This year, Skytrax released its very first World's Best Airport Washrooms 2025 awards – and Singapore Changi Airport, also Skytrax's World Best Airport 2025, topped the list. There are a couple of reasons our airport restrooms stand out: it's squeaky clean for one, so major kudos to the staff working round the clock to keep it that way. Then there's the downright luxurious design, from marble floors and ambient lighting, to Peranakan-themed restrooms and some with views of the tarmac. Completing the spa-like experience? A faint orchid tea scent in the air.
A good bathroom also has to be functional, and Changi Airport's toilets are thoughtfully designed for the traveller. Spacious stalls mean plenty of space for your luggage, thoughtful nooks and shelves mean you always have a place for your handheld items, while electronic bidets keep you fresh.
Skytrax covered 235 airports around the world to deliver its final list of best airport washrooms in the world. Since this is a new award, results are based on assessments and feedback from the Skytrax audit office. From next year onwards, customer feedback will be folded in. And if you're curious about other airports where going to the loo is nothing but a delight – well, they're all in Asia.
